This title is a strange oxymoron! Official Bootleg… when you know that “bootleg” means “clandestine”, and that official means—well, sorry for stating the obvious—official, how can an album officially present clandestine content? It’s simple, really: the website of the Mexican tenor himself boasts about the release, which probably means that the artist has allowed presumably “pirated” recordings being put on the market. By the way, the same website states that the recordings have been made in 1985 and 1987, so three decades ago, right in the middle of the tenor’s brilliant worldwide career. The Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra is accompanying him, which is really not surprising when you know that the Tivoli (more specifically the Tivoli Gardens, a gigantic amusement park which contains a beautiful concert hall) displayed on the cover is incidentally located in Copenhagen. The star performs in several languages—German (with a very slight Mexican accent), French (with a slight Mexican accent) and of course Italian (perfectly, with no accent)—some of the greatest lyrical hits that were ever made; the bel canto aficionados will get their share, with the style that we know: a superb vocal emission, without the glissando excess that we can often find in most tenors from the Latin scene. We must however specify that you have to be a connoisseur of fine singing, because the voice seems to be a little distant on the recording. Which is to be expected, really, because these were pirate recordings! Therefore let’s consider this album as a historic document.
