Lo Mejor de Andrea Bocelli: Vivire Reviews:
Inferior to its native (Italian/English) version 
2009-06-19 - The songs in Spanish sound flat and audibly inferior to the native (Italian/English) versions. The Bocelli's voice is almost the same, but it lacks certain warmth deriving from vibrations not present there and depriving the voice of spaciousness of the originals. The added song O' MARE E TU with Dulce Pontes seems to be out of character and its Bocelli's part is minor and subdued. Marta Sanchez is no match for Giorgia in VIVO PER LEI. And TIME TO SAY GOODBYE without Sarah Brightman does not sound as well. This Spanish album does not match its native version by a wide margin, but it is worth consideration, if the lyrics matter; otherwise - not.
FENOMENAL :) 
2008-09-04 - This is a great CD and I like it so much, that I've given it as a gift to several people and I will probably order more. I teach High School Spanish in NYC, hence the Spanish version and my students love the songs, "Vive ya" and "Vivo por ella". It is soothing and inspiring, Andrea Bocelli is a king and the duets are beautiful too. I highly recommend this CD :)
Includes some beautiful Spanish duets not found on the English best-of
2008-03-14 - Like many Italian recording artists, Andrea Bocelli's led a dual life in recording Spanish and Italian albums simultaneously. Lo Mejor De Andrea Bocelli collects thirteen of his Spanish (and two Italian and one English) versions featured on albums Sueno (in Spanish) (Canto De La Tierra, The Prayer, O Mare e Tu with Portuguese fadista Dulce Pontes), Romanza (Italian/Spanish Language Edition) (Por Ti Volare, a new recording of Vivere, Romanza, Vivo Por Ella with Marta Sanchez, El Silencio de la Espera), Amor [Spanish Version] (Besame Mucho), Cieli Di Toscana (Un Dulce Melodrama, Mil Lunas, Mil Olas, better known as the "Barilla pasta song," and featured as a bonus track on the deluxe English edition of Best of Andrea Bocelli). There are several brand-new tracks, including Io Ce Saro, A Ti, La Voz Del Silencio and Hermosas Estrellas that hold up well next to his established classics.
One song that's noticeably absent is Bocelli's breakout duet with Sarah Brightman, Time To Say Goodbye. Brightman discovered Andrea through his Italian-language debut CD in 1996 and chose him as a duet partner, so she should receive credit for introducing him to an international audience. It's a shame that it's been omitted, since it is one of his most beautiful duets (however, the solo version Por Ti Volare is featured). Celine Dion's The Prayer has been retained, as have several Spanish-language duets with Laura Pausini on Vive Ya, a haunting Portuguese duet with Dulce Pontes on O Mare E Tu, and a powerhouse duet with Marta Sanchez on Vivo Por Ella.
On to Bocelli's voice: either you'll love it, or as a classical purist, you'll hate it. Critics have long complained that Bocelli suffers from poor phrasing, uneven tone, and lack of technique (to be fair, Bocelli studied for a law degree, not a music degree, although he took a master class with tenor Franco Corelli). As a casual classical and opera fan, I feel he is amply capable of taking lyrical songs and imbuing them with emotion and passion without coming off as amateurish. Have I heard better tenors? Absolutely. But Bocelli is a captivating presence, and his choice of songs (and instrumental backings) come together magically to create enduring romantic classics.
I frequently make use of Signor Bocelli's best-of CD as background music for dinner parties, and it's a lovely accompaniment to quiet evenings. There are several good songs not included on the English best-of such as O Mare E Tu that are well worth the price, and this is a good overview of Bocelli's work from 1996 to present.
Great Spanish version of Bocelli's Hits Collection!
2007-11-10 - Andrea Bocelli, the world's most popular tenor (and Best selling) and pop sensation as well, has recorded The Best of Andrea Bocelli, Vivere what is a wonderful collection of his crossover (semi classical pop) songs and is a must for every Bocelli fan. Every song on the CD is wonderful and all the hit songs have been re mastered (or remixed) and sound better than ever. This is the Spanish version of his hits with most of the songs being in spanish.
the songs include
1. La Voz Del Silencio A wonderful new song.
2. Sueno
3. El Silencio De La Espera (Il Mare Calmo Della Sera)
4. Vive Ya (Vivere) A new Spanish version of Viva per lei with Laura Pausini.
5. Canto De La Tierra
6. A Ti A brweand new song written by Bocelli, very pretty indeed.
7. 'O Mare E Tu With Dolche Pontez.
8. Besame Mucho
9. Mil Lunas Mil Olas (Mille Lune Mille Onde) The Italian version of this song is on the Brilla Pasta Ad's.
10. Por Ti Volare (Con Te Partiro)
11. Io Ci Saro Anotehr new song very very nice.
12. Romanza
13. Vivo Por Ella (Vivo Per Lei)
14. Un Dulce Melodrama (Melodramma)
15. Hermosas Estrellas A wonderful and Beautiful new song probably my favorite on the CD.
16. The Prayer With Celine dion, Golden Globe Winning song.
This is a great CD for any Bocelli fan; for the fan because it has the 5 new songs (4 new and one alternative version). And is a great set for new fans because it has many of his hits and the new tracks are wonderful as well. This would be a good first CD for someone new to Bocelli.
