Aceto

Micheal Castaldo's voice and passion take you to such a emotional level, you never want it to end. This is a CD you will want to play repeatedly but I like to sit back, relax and let it remove all the tension from my body. It's not a CD for the hectic drive to work. It's best after work for a total melt down.Micheal's wonderful tenor voice and the instrumentation are remarkable. The added bonus is Micheal's creativity. Many tenors are wonderful singers but this man pulls the writing, arranging and the singing all together. You don't have to be Italian, you don't have to understand the language, just let Micheal's voice and emotion take over. This is not just Italian music, this is the classical crossover music genre at it's finest.Micheal has been honored for his contribution to classical crossover music at: [...]

Micheal Castaldo's "Aceto" album remastered is marvelous! Beautiful, emotional, inspiring, and just breathtaking! Micheal’s voice is so smooth and this album you can play over and over. Each one of his 22 tracks are better than the next. I always can feel the passion Micheal has in his voice. His songs tell a story every time. If you have not heard one of his songs either in Italian or English, you are totally missing out on a real treat! The remastered edition is so clear and the music is so beautiful. You will think you are on a terrace in Italy listening to Micheal Castaldo in person. From Allelulia (Hallelujah), to Panis Angelicus, to Ave Maria, to Lo Stavo Con Lei (I Started A Joke), to the famous Pray’r you will be hooked…and will want more and more of Micheal’s singing…Thank you Micheal…Keep singing and we will be listening……I recommend this remastered album called “Aceto” to everyone….

The first time I listened to this ACETO cd was during my morning walk at about 6am! I listened attentively because your voice came through my headphones and the message I received was listen to my lyrics and calmness with come to you! It's like a voice speaking personally to my heart and I felt a warmness that tugged at my heart........As I was listening to the 3rd song, "Lui Vive In Te (He Lives In Me), tears started building up and my heart felt a warm feeling of a certain kind of healing feeling that actually feels pain and I started crying profusely!As I continue walking in the quiet of the morning, when the 10th song, "Ave Maria" and then the 11th song, "Va Pensiero", I had to slow down because the lyrics hit home with overcome emotions that I had to sit down along the way!Then as I listened to the next song, the 12th song, "Pregherô (Stand By Me) and the 13th song, "Amici Mieî (Amazing Grace), 15th song, "Io Stavo Con Lei (I Started a Joke) and then song no:16th Senza Catene (Unchained Melody) came on!

Aceto, esse molto bene! His rendition of Alleluia (a modern classic not to be confused with Handel's Hallelujah Chorus) will persuade you to give "Free Hugs" and want to sing along. There are also two songs on the Olive You CD that make an appearance here also. They are "Io Credo (My Prayer)" and "Questo e Amore." He also puts the Italian touch on songs which include Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence," Ben E. King's "Stand by Me," and the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody." He also puts a Nuovo Italiano spin on classics which include "Amazing Grace," Vivaldi's "Va Pensiero," and Bach/Gounod's "Ave Maria." This is a must listen to CD if you are a fan of genuine Italian music.

Aceto is a Great CD. All the songs are done simply beautifully. Micheal has a Voice anyone will want to listen to time and time again. The rhythm to his music has just the right cadence that makes the sound great. The songs are sung in both Italian and English. His Cd's are well worth buying and listening too.

i saw an ad for his cd in a local ny post newspaper and was curious, so i took a chance and bought this cd, no regrets and by the way, also bought his other cd, villa as well
