I have read some of the NEGATIVE reviews written here and have decided that quite a few of them must have been written by the same reviewer (same wording and same repetitious phrases and terminology). You've made your point but if you will read the rest of the reviews, you'll find that you are CERTAINLY in the minority, so enough ALREADY! I found the musical arrangements wonderful and Russell's renditions of Core'ngrato, Recondita armonia and Vesti la giubba....perfection!! I do, however, agree that it's time for him to rest his voice before he does his 4th CD. 3 CD's in such a short amount of time plus all the promotional trips and personal performances certainly must play havoc on an entertainer's voice. I consider him to be a rare performer with a beautiful, powerful voice that is always "on key", such feeling he projects and such a nice demeanor with his audiance. Wishing you much success in the future. A REAL FAN!!
