: :It's no mean feat being the world's foremost crossover artist--a task that risks alienating two disparate audiences and everyone in between--but somebody had to do it, and Andrea Bocelli again walks that artistic tightrope with impressive deftness.

His collaboration 'Sin Tu Amor' immerses his voice in the Gipsy Kings' own rich Iberian folk-pop ...

Whether out of financial limitations or personal preference, Desplat tends to write relatively minimal scores. This one is appropriately downcast but even when titles trumpet intent ('Mourning,' River of ...
