Released 28/11/2011
The world's foremost classical crossover group release their stunning new album "Wicked Game." This phenomenal quartet - Carlos Marin from Spain, Sebastien Izambard from France, David Miller from the US and Urs Buhler from Switzerland return with their most impressive album since their 2004 debut defined a new musical genre. The new album is produced by Per Magnusson and David Krueger with additional production from Richard 'Biff' Stannard. In addition to the title track, other highlights include an emotionally beautiful rendering of Roy Orbison's 'Crying' and a heavenly version of Samuel Barber's 'Adagio For Strings'. In May, the Classic Brits presented Il Divo the prestigious Artist of the Decade Award and in August they played two landmark concerts at the London Coliseum, home of the English National Opera backed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra where they previewed new material including Wicked Game, Dov'e L'amore (a beautiful interpretation of Samual Barbers Adagio for Strings), Come What May from the soundtrack of Moulin Rouge and a long awaited recording of Time To Say Goodbye. With more than 25 million album sales, 150 gold and platinum discs, over 2 million concert tickets sold and the only classical crossover album 'Ancora' ever to enter the Billboard Top 200 at number 1 Il Divo could rest on their laurels. But that has never been their style.
