About this Artist

About This Item

The celebrated tenor Plácido Domingo marks another remarkable chapter with Amore Infinito, the recording he calls "one of the most important" of his career. With lyrics in English, Italian, and Spanish, Amore Infinito features songs inspired by poems written by the late Pope John Paul II. In addition to his solo work on the album, Domingo also collaborates with some of the most exciting vocal talents in music, including Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Vanessa Williams, and Katherine Jenkins. The CD also features a moving duet with Domingo's son, Plácido Jr.

It was after Domingo's last performance for John Paul II at the Vatican that the tenor expressed to His Holiness a wish to select some of his poems for musical setting. The singer, along with a group of prominent composers, looked for themes of universal significance to accompany melodies that evoke deep emotions and a timeless spirituality. Celebrating the eternal power of love, the album is utterly contemporary. "This recording has enormous significance for me," says Domingo.

The Deluxe Edition of the album includes an enhanced CD with video footage featuring Josh Groban and is packaged in a 40-page hard-cover booklet with lyrics and color photographs.
