Album Notes Personnel includes: Josh Groban, The Corrs, Charlotte Church (vocals); William Ross (conductor); Ramon Stagnaro, Dean Parks (guitar); Lili Hayden (violin, background vocals); Richard Marx (piano, keyboards); David Foster, Walter Afanasieff (keyboards); Curt Bisquera (drums); Rhys Fulber, Felipe Elgueta (programming); Efrat, Marco Marinangeli (background vocals). Producers include: David Foster, Walter Afanasieff, Toni Renis, Richard Marx, Humberto Gatica. Engineers include: Felipe Elgueta, Humberto Gatica, Nick Marshall. Josh Groban's meteoric rise to stardom began when hit producer David Foster selected him as a last-minute replacement at the dress rehearsal for the 1999 Grammy Awards, where the then-17-year-old singer stood in for Andrea Bocelli in a duet with Celine Dion. The rest, as they say, is history. But can the precocious baritone truly compete with the more seasoned powerhouses of the Classical Crossover scene? Groban's self-titled debut album validates Foster's prescience and proves that the young vocalist is more than able to hold his own. He moves confidently through an eclectic program with a poise that belies his youth and relative inexperience. He uses his warm voice to great effect in a variety of settings provided by veteran songwriters such as Richard Marx, Albert Hammond, Carole Bayer Sager, and Linda Thompson, among others. Highlights include a poignant reading of Don McLean's "Vincent," a dramatic account of the Neapolitan song "Canto Alla Vita" (featuring the Corrs), and a rock-anthem version of Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" (with Lili Haydn on violin), as well as "The Prayer," a soaring duet with fellow wunderkind Charlotte Church. With this debut, Groban delivers a crowd-pleasing effort that marks the beginning of what will undoubtedly be a stellar career. | Find errors in the product description?

Report this review Review created: 01/30/06 by: 9 of 14 people found this review helpful. I fell in love with Josh from Ally McBeal, like I think alot of people did. This is by far my favorite of his albums yet. I danced to "You're still you" at my wedding. I don't know anyone who doesn't love this CD. It is just beautifully done. If you want just one of his albums, like I said, this would be it for me. I would say though, that not all of his songs are in English in case that would deter you. For me though, I love it all and even if I didn't like the non-English songs, it would still be worth having for the ones that are. Review ID: 10000000000717242 Was this review helpful?
