Il Divo and Lea Salonga - The Music of the Night

[@braunx1080]

Lea's voice is classic, timeless, angelic voice that will transcend through the years. still listening in 2020.

[@erlindabaliog9224]

Me too . . .

[@leegaylan9430]

Her diction is terrific. One can join singing with her.

[@denisewendt8580]

Beautiful blending voices and singing with so much passion makes it even more special. I have heard IL Divo with other artists, but with Lea Salonga, a Tony Award Recipient for her pivotal role as Kim, in the Original production of Miss Saigon, it's different, as well as beautiful, she's humble, very witty, speaks several languages, very talented, highly acclaimed for her many acting and singing roles on Broadway and in other shows, her singing voice is Princess Jasmin and Mulan on the animated Disney movies and as Tuptin in the King and I. She brings a breath of pure fresh air and a posy of daisies with her on this Tour. Her voice is so uniquely toned which has mellowed beautifully with age. Her voice is flexible to whatever she sings, It can be pop to opera. So with that special unique, angelic voice, blending with 4 fantastic Tenor voices, is like being transported from a Broadway show to a Birthday party then bam......right into a volcano eruption. All their songs together should be on their new CD. This IL Divo European Tour with Lea Salonga has been just an eruption of class and purity. This will be one of IL Divo's most UNFORGETTABLE TOURS.

[@yurinuqui5152]

I hope il divo will have another musical tour with lea. I just love listening to them

[@esperanzabadinas2360]

Thanks so much for your appreciation. She’s really amazing! And so beautiful.

[@leticiachiok8057]

Absolutely agree. Lea Salonga's voice blends beautifully and brings some musical spark to any singing group, like Il Divo, etc.

Salonga is the real revelation here. Her voice is so pliable she is able to cross different genres! And her voice harmonizes so well with these guys’. Bravo! 👏

[@agentclark99]

@@doityourselfpb8614 wait, shes been singing with Il Divo since she was a child?

[@uranne]

She's a theater actress. She's done musicals. She can do anything.

[@leegaylan9430]

You totally, rightfully described Lea's. Many thanks for such compliment.. from a fellow Filipino here.

[@emidiogomes6501]

One of their best

[@beckygleasman408]

Today I am devastated by the passing of Carlos. I don't want to believe it. RIP, CARLOS .😥💔

[@christopherreed4071]

Lea's voice is so utterly versatile.....disney princess to operatic tones...awesome

[@destinyrose6101]

Lea is not just for local audience. She's universally incomparable!

[@ashleyreed9486]

I was kinda hesitant to hear because I am used to hear Music of the Night in man voice but WOW. Speechless for Miss Lea. This rendition is so wonderful

[@ALLshALLfALL06]

lea can switch from disney-like voice to -theatrical to opera im verrrrry amazed

[@ALLshALLfALL06]

i almost forgot she also sings pop songs

[@davamort3096]

Yes

[@k.m.j.coutinho4390]

She is extremely talented and versatile and pretty, too. 👍👍

[@archietrinidad2663]

The difference between a pop, R&B mAinstream singers vs. A Broadway and west end diva. They have the ryt technique and proper training.. Classically that is. So be it pop, ballad, folk, country, musical or just a simple ABC song BRING IT!! Aside from the fact that they always do it Live...no back up singers or auto tune needed.

[@dreamtravel3535]

because she is also classically trained

[@seananthonyaguilar6307]

That moment when you heard Lea Salonga hitting that High G. She's indeed a very versatile singer! She can do literally anything!

[@k.m.j.coutinho4390]

Lea should be part of Il Divo! She brings something exciting to their sound that definitely enhances and balances it. I'm not a fan of The Phantom but bravo, bravo!

[@dennyhoward7977]

Superb! I’ll Divo and Lea need to keep themselves together. Fabulously beautiful.

[@pearlorient9972]

Lea's voice cannot be over powered by Il Divo ...you could still hear the power of her voice when they sing in melody...awesome

[@jayak3768]

I don't think they came to overpower. They came to complement.

[@johnellozada2360]

u mean in harmony... they sing to complement each other... and a soprano can sing way higher than tenors... so it's pretty obvious.

[@acnixon]

Those 4 huge and gorgeous voices can really overpower a singer who is not as as good and well-trained as Lea Salonga.

[@laurenschung]

when the first tenor sang, i thought, what is Lea doing here? Then, when she started...omg goosebumps! Age can make a Disney princess transcend to a Soprano! Cheers!

[@NYCER4LIFE]

Lea Salonga has always been a lyric soprano. She’s is not a mezzo-soprano.

[@tranquilityhomes]

This is the most beautiful version of "The Music of the Night' I ever heard !!! Bravo to Lea and Il Divo : )

[@chicfrancisco6845]

Nothing can beat Lea Salonga and Il Divo! They are over the top with their excellent voices!

[@mon_avis2978]

Have commented and deleted on this video several times, marveling at the intonation, ensemble singing, production (lighting and stage design), the composition itself (or arrangement), and the audience. This particular video is something of an artistic masterpiece because of the perfection in intonation and ensemble singing, enhanced by the lighting and stage design, the wisdom of choosing a distance shot for the last little bit, and an audience that is quiet until the entire performance is complete. When intonation and balance are _perfect,_ five-part harmony takes advantage of the sympathy of harmonic overtones to create an effect of a "castle of sound." This is very rare and cannot be captured in audio recording alone. Here, the "castle/cathedral" is enhanced by the stage lighting; the videographer wisely chose a distance shot; and the Japanese audience, because of its proper behavior, allowed this special artistic moment to come into being. Of course, top kudos go to Andrew Lloyd Webber for having conceived that last little bit of "stepwise emerging harmony." This live performance is especially poignant today, knowing that this particular ensemble can _never_ be recreated.

[@philipseballos8892]

World class performance from the great tenors and THE Lea Salonga!(What a voice she has!In control and blends well with any great singer!)That's incredible!

[@TheBongReyes]

Music is music. But when you get 5 masters on the same stage. It really is transcendent. You feel the performance in your soul.

[@Ladytuneng23]

Gosh! Why i'm just watching this video just now (June 4, 2019)!!!! This kind of music is such a wonderful sound to listen especially that Ms. Lea is here! Oh how i love watching and listening her singing with IL Divo! ❤

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness wakes and stirs imagination Silently, the senses abandon their defenses Helpless to resist the notes I write For I compose the music of the night Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender Hearing is believing, music is deceiving Hard as lightening, soft as candlelight Dare you trust the music of the night? Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth And the truth isn't what you want to see In the dark it is easy to pretend That the truth is what it ought to be Softly, deftly, music shall caress you Hear it, feel it secretly possess you Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind In this darkness which you know you cannot fight The darkness of the music of the night Close your eyes Start a journey to a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before Close your eyes and let music set you free Only then can you belong to me Floating, falling, sweet intoxication Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in To the power of the music that I write The power of the music of the night You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the night
