PLACIDO DOMINGO Amore Infinito: Duets (2009 UK 12-track CD album - 'Amore Infinito' is the new album by Plácido Domingo, who calls it one of the most important recordings of his career. Before Karol Wojtyla became Pope John Paul II, he began writing poetry during years as a quarry worker, playwright, actor, seminary student and priest. Now Domingo, out of deep respect and reverence for 'the greatest human being I have ever known', has created this collection of settings as a personal affirmation of faith and tribute to the late Polish pontiff. With lyrics in Italian, Spanish and English, these heartfelt melodies are accorded a further degree of spiritual uplift by the orchestration of Jorge Calandrelli [a central figure in the production of this album] performed by the London Symphony Orchestra under Nick Ingman. Along with solo songs, there are also a number of duets, for which Domingo has invited as collaborators some of today's most exciting vocal talents – Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Katherine Jenkins and Vanessa Williams. Celebrating the eternal power of love, the new album is also utterly contemporary. Comes complete with an extensive lyric booklet)
