Mario Frangoulis - Sometimes I Dream (2002)

Mario Frangoulis is shaping up as a major crossover talent, equally at home in European and American songs, and enjoying a knack for co-opting operatic material into his personal style. His voice has strength and warmth, he expresses emotions with passion and subtlety, and he handles words clearly and expertly in a variety of languages, notably Italian, Greek, and Spanish. His English is impeccable.

Except for the omission of "Canzone Arrabbiata," this PBS-televised concert in the outdoor Theatre of the Earth in Thessaloníki, Greece, duplicates the material on the CD of the same name. In "Nights in White Satin (Notte di Luce)," he is joined by Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues. The video dimension adds a lot; Frangoulis has a magnetic stage presence, and the vast audience is infectiously enthusiastic. He gives little spoken introductions explaining each song, but English subtitles would have made the DVD even more valuable. --Joe McLellan Amazon.com

Mario Live in The sometime I dream

I want to start first by saying I was aware of Mario Frangoulis by having purchased both his two Cds. Mario in both of his two CDS, including Sometime I dream which all the songs from this Live show are from, made me aware of what a outstanding singer he really is. Both his CDS are must haves.
Mario in this DVD has makes you really feel like your in the Greek islands with him. Mario is truly a craftsmen in bringing you into each songs meaning.

Refreshing, wonderful, great talent

I loved Mario's voice the first time I heard it in 2002; it was such a great pleasure to finally get to watch him perform.
It is refreshing to see a young talent like Mario focused on music and performance rather than the commercial music industry, where looks and making money quickly are the focus.
Twenty years from now, when his youth is gone, and his good looks have faded, I predict that Mario Frangoulis will still be going strong and his voice will be another remarkable legend.

It is fantastic that concert recording such as this actually has English subtitles to explain the words of wonderful songs that I deeply loved, but did not completely understand.
How come no one thought of doing this before (few exceptions apply, some opera Theaters do display subtitles during live performances)? It would be great if other live concerts had English subtitles.

Great voice, great songs, great performance....being young and good looking is just the cherry on the cake

Mario Frangoulis takes flight.

This man will take you to a new sense of yourself. His talent is going to rocket him to stardom. What a voice, what feeling, what talent. Every song has such intense feeling and sends your emotions in a whirlwind. Thank you Mario. N.Bryan June 4, 2008

A new touch to the classic's

Mario's touch and beautiful voice is something we don't hear too much here in the States....it's a shame that he is not on PBS or some showcase to demonastrate his wonderful cross over style of singing........I'm a true
fan......of cross over singing and he's one of the best! April 7, 2008
