E like me kā New York Times kaulana honua i kākau ai e pili ana iā IL DIVO:
“Ke mele a kani nei kēia mau kāne ʻehā e like me kahi hui opera piha. ʻO lākou kēia "Moiwahine"akā me ka ʻole o nā kīkā.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka hui IL DIVO (Il Divo) i manaʻo ʻia kekahi o nā papahana kaulana loa i ka honua o nā mele pop, akā me nā leo i ke ʻano maʻamau. Ua lanakila lākou i nā keʻena ʻaha mele kaulana loa ma ka honua, ua lanakila i ke aloha o nā miliona o ka poʻe hoʻolohe, ua hōʻoia e hiki i nā leo mele mele ke kaulana mega.
I ka makahiki 2006, ua helu ʻia ʻo IL DIVO i ka Guinness Book of Records ma ke ʻano he ʻoihana pāʻoihana kūleʻa loa ma ka mōʻaukala mele.
Moolelo o ka hui
I ka makahiki 2002, ua hoʻokumu ka mea hana Pelekane kaulana ʻo Simon Covell me ka manaʻo e hana i kahi hui pop honua. Ua hoʻoikaika ʻia ʻo ia ma hope o ka nānā ʻana i kahi wikiō o kahi hana hui e Sarah Brightman lāua ʻo Andrea Bocelli.
ʻO ka manaʻo o ka mea hana - e ʻimi i ʻehā mau mele mai nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe e ʻike ʻia e ko lākou ʻano hiʻohiʻona a loaʻa i nā leo maikaʻi ʻole. Ua aneane ʻelua makahiki ʻo Covell e ʻimi ana i nā moho kūpono - ke ʻimi nei ʻo ia i nā moho kūpono, e ʻōlelo paha kekahi, ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. Akā, e like me kāna i ʻōlelo ai, ʻaʻole i pau ka manawa.
ʻO ka hui pū kekahi, ʻoiaʻiʻo, nā mele maikaʻi loa. Ma Sepania, ua loaʻa i ka mea hana kahi kālena baritone Carlos Marin. Ua hīmeni ʻo Tenor Urs Buhler ma Switzerland ma mua o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o ka papahana, ua kono ʻia ka mea mele pop kaulana ʻo Sebastien Izambard mai Farani, ʻo David Miller, mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Ua like nā ʻehā a me nā hiʻohiʻona, a ʻo ka leo hui o ko lākou leo i hoʻohihi wale i ka poʻe hoʻolohe. ʻO ka mea hoʻohenehene, ʻo Sibastien Izambard wale nō ʻaʻohe hoʻonaʻauao mele. Akā ma mua o ka papahana, ʻo ia ka mea kaulana loa o nā ʻehā.
Ma hope o hoʻokahi makahiki o ka hana, i ka makahiki 2004 ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i kā lākou album mua. Lilo koke ʻo ia ma luna o nā helu mele honua āpau. I ka makahiki 2005, ʻoluʻolu ʻo IL DIVO i nā mea pā me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o kahi diski i kapa ʻia ʻo "Ancora". Ma ke ʻano o ke kūʻai aku a me ka kaulana, ʻoi aku ia i nā helu āpau ma US a me Pelekane.
Ka nani a me ka kaulana o IL DIVO
ʻAʻohe mea kupanaha i manaʻo ʻia ʻo Simon Covell ka mea hana maikaʻi loa. ʻO kāna mau papahana ka mea i helu ʻia a loaʻa ka waiwai. Ua lawe kūikawā ʻo ia i nā mele ʻōlelo ʻōlelo i loko o ka hui IL DIVO - ʻo ia ka hopena, hana maʻalahi ka hui i nā mele ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania, Paniolo, Italia, Palani a me ka Latina.
ʻO ka inoa pono'ī o ka hui i unuhiʻia mai Italia mai "he mea hoʻokani mai ke Akua." Hoʻomaopopo koke kēia i ka ʻehā o ka maikaʻi o kona ʻano. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole i hele maʻalahi ʻo Covell a koho i kahi kuhikuhi kūikawā, ʻaʻole maʻamau no nā kāne - hīmeni lākou, hoʻohui i nā mele pop a me ke mele opera. ʻO ia ʻano symbiosis mua i makemake ʻia i ka ʻōpio a me ka hanauna makua. ʻO ka poʻe i manaʻo ʻia o ka hui, ʻōlelo paha kekahi, ʻaʻohe palena a helu i nā haneli miliona a puni ka honua.
I ka makahiki 2006 ʻo ia iho Celine Dion kono i ka quartet e hoʻopaʻa i kahi helu hui. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, hoʻokani lākou i ke mele o ka World Cup me ka mea mele kaulana ʻo Toni Braxton. Ua kono ʻo Barbara Streisand iā IL DIVO i mau malihini hanohano ma kāna huakaʻi ʻAmelika ʻAmelika. Hāʻawi ia i kahi kālā nui - ʻoi aku ma mua o 92 miliona mau kālā.
ʻO nā album aʻe a ka hui e lawe mai i ka kaulana a me ka loaʻa kālā nui. Kaʻahele ka hui ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā papa hana ʻaha mele no kekahi mau makahiki ma mua. Moe ihola nā poʻe kaulana o ka honua e hīmeni pū me lākou. Hoʻopiha kā lākou mau kiʻi i ka World Wide Web, a ke hoʻāʻo nei nā glossies kaulana a pau e hoʻopaʻa i nā nīnauele me lākou.
Huina IL DIVO
He ʻokoʻa nā leo o nā lālā ʻehā o ka hui iā lākou iho, a ke kani pū nei lākou, hoʻokō pono kekahi i kekahi. Akā aia kēlā me kēia lālā o ka hui i kona ala lōʻihi i ka kaulana, kona ʻano ponoʻī, nā leʻaleʻa a me nā mea nui o ke ola.
He kamaaina ʻo David Miller no Ohio. 'O ia ke kula puka 'oi loa o ka Oberlin Conservatory - bachelor in vocal and master of opera himing. Ma hope o ka conservatory ua neʻe ʻo ia i New York. Mai ka makahiki 2000 a hiki i ka makahiki 2003, ua lanakila 'o ia i ka himeni 'ana ma ka hana keaka, hana 'o ia ma mua o kanaha hapa i loko o 'ekolu makahiki. Hele ikaika ʻo ia me ka hui ma ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. ʻO kāna hana kaulana loa ma mua o IL DIVO ʻo ia ka ʻāpana o ka protagonist Rodolfo ma Baz Luhrmann hana ʻo La bohème.
Urs Buhler
No Switzerland ka mea pena, ua hānau ʻia ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Lucerne. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia i ka pāʻani mele i kona wā ʻōpio. Ua hoʻomaka nā hana mua a ke kāne i ka makahiki 17. Akā, mamao loa kāna kuhikuhi mai ka hīmeni ʻana a me ka mele pop - mele wale ʻo ia ma ke ʻano o ka pōhaku paʻakikī.
Ma ka coincidence, ua pau ka mea mele i Holland, kahi i loaʻa iā ia kahi manawa kūikawā e aʻo ai i nā leo ma ka National Conservatory ma Amsterdam. Ma keʻano like, lawe ke kanaka i nā haʻawina mai nā mele mele opera kaulana ʻo Christian Papiss lāua ʻo Gest Winberg. Ua ʻike ʻia ke kālena o ka mea hoʻokani pila, a ua kono koke ʻia ʻo ia e hele solo ma ka National Opera o Netherlands. A ma laila ua loaʻa ʻo Simon Covell iā ia a hāʻawi iā ia e hana ma IL DIVO.
Sebastien Izambard
Soloist me ka ʻole o ka hoʻonaʻauao conservatory. ʻAʻole naʻe kēia i pale iā ia mai ka lilo ʻana i mea kaulana ma mua o ka papahana. Hāʻawi ʻo ia i nā ʻaha mele piano kūleʻa ma Farani, komo i nā hōʻike mele, hoʻokani i nā mele. Aia i loko o ka mele mele "The Little Prince" i ʻike ʻia e kahi mea hana Pelekane.
Eia naʻe, pono ʻo Covell e hoʻohana i ke akamai o ka hoʻohuli ʻana. ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua komo ikaika ʻo Izambar i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi papahana solo a ʻaʻole makemake e haʻalele i nā mea āpau i ka hapalua, a ʻoi aku hoʻi, neʻe i kahi ʻāina ʻē. I kēia manawa ʻaʻole mihi iki ka mea mele i ka hoʻohuli ʻana o ka mea hana Pelekane.
ʻO ka Spaniard Carlos Martin i ka makahiki 8 i hoʻokuʻu i kāna album mua i kapa ʻia ʻo "Little Caruso", a i ka makahiki 16 ua lilo ʻo ia i lanakila o ka hoʻokūkū mele "Young People", a laila ua pili pono kāna hana me ka opera a me nā ʻāpana nui i kaulana. nā hana hōʻikeʻike. Ua kamaʻāina ʻo ia a hīmeni pinepine ma ke kahua hoʻokahi me nā poʻe mele keaka honua. Akā, he mea kupanaha, i ka piko o ka kaulana, ua ʻae ʻo ia i kahi hāʻawi e hana i ka papahana IL DIVO hou a noho ma laila a hiki i kēia lā.
IL DIVO i kēia lā
ʻAʻole lohi ka hui a hana ikaika e like me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāna hana. I nā makahiki o ka hana mele, ua hele mua nā kāne i nā huakaʻi honua ma mua o hoʻokahi. Ua hoʻokuʻu lākou i nā album studio 9, i kūʻai aku ma luna o 4 miliona mau kope. He nui nā makana no IL DIVO no ke komo ʻana i nā hoʻokūkū like ʻole. I kēia lā, hoʻomau ka hui i ka huakaʻi holomua, e hoʻomau ana i ka pīhoihoi i nā mea pā me nā hits hou.
Ua ho'ēmiʻia ka Il Divo quartet i kahi trio. Minamina mākou e haʻi aku iā ʻoe ma ka lā 19 o Dekemaba, 2021, ua make ʻo Carlos Marin ma muli o nā hoʻopiʻi i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka maʻi coronavirus.
E hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ka album hope loa i ka laina mua ʻo ia ka disc For Once in My Life: A Celebration of Motown, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ke kauwela o 2021. Hoʻolaʻa ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili i nā mele mele ʻAmelika, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ke keena Motown Records.
