Before listening to this cd, I had heard very little of Il Divo. I expected the lovely harmonies and powerful voices, but I was pleasantly surprised with the song choices and interpretations. I really enjoyed this cd. It was just the kind of relaxation I wanted. I was particularly impressed with their soft, beautiful rendition of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah and with the powerful classic, Amazing Grace. This is the perfect cd to pop in while your relaxing in the bath. Their vocals will not disappo...

Not the best...
I received this cd for review from one2onenetwork. I have been an Il Divo fan since the begining and am very dissapointed with this album. I found the songs hard to diferentiate from each other.Iwas bored throughout the album and could not even find one "stand out" song. Iwill not be purchasing this for anyone I know.

"The Promise" keeps its promise
I enjoyed "The Promise" by Il Divo. The strength of the voices of these amazingly gorgeous men carries the music into the place that gives me the "goose bumps" I love to feel when listening to a perfectly carried note.
My favorite track was "La Luna" , followed by "Angelina" . The way the name was sung was enough to make me want to change my name from Sherri to Angelina.
The harmony this group of men (did I mention they are gorgeous?) possesses is such a...

I had high hopes for this album...
This was my first time hearing Il Divo, and I dove into “The Promise” CD headfirst, and with great expectations. Perhaps I set the bar too high, because I was sorely disappointed. The music is beautiful, but alarmingly soporific and tedious. The singers have wonderfully clear and resonant voices and take great care and precision in delivering every note perfectly, to the effect that the passion is never allowed to seep through. One of the few bright spots in this album was L’Alba del Mondo, an I...

Soaring Passion
The best way I can describe the sound of Il Divo is soaring passion. These four beautiful operatic voices blend to create powerful music and graceful elegance. "Angelina", "Adagio", they all create a relaxing, rich ambience which surrounds you and takes you in, a break from a world which can be chaotic.
The real test for me was the cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. There is a wonderful rendition by Jeff Buckley and my favorite version is Leonard's, but, Il Divo managed to...

Very beautiful music
I love Il Divo's sound and their music, and although this isn't their best work, it is still amazing.
There were two things overall that I did not care for. First, I had to adjust the volume constantly throughout the CD; as the volume varies greatly. Second, most of the songs are arranged the same: they start very softly and build to an almost harsh climax. Particularly, I was not overly fond of
Track 1, La Fuerza Mayor - starts so slowly the words come out sounding a little harsh;
Track 3, Ada...

I loved it!
I just received my Il Divo album The Promise and I am very happy with it. It is compiled of fresh, new music that will be sure to please any Il Divo fan. I love the range of their voices and this was a pleasant treat! It doesn't sound like their typical albums which is a nice change, so many singers put out a ton of songs that all sound alike. In addition to their vocals, they have some great background music. You can FEEL the music, not just hear it. If you are a fan of II Divo, like me, ...
