Dare to Love is a remarkably consistent and entertaining collection of finely honed dance/pop, a sub-genre that doesn't generally place a premium on personality. Somerville, however, has never been one to sacrifice his convictions to the beat. By the same token, his gay repartee here is carried along by wide-ranging rhythms (a dub intro here, a disco break there) and imaginative instrumental adornments (here a Spanish guitar solo, there a violin interlude). Lyrically, Somerville celebrates the gay lifestyle of the '90s, which, in his own words, encompasses "life, love, sex, and death." Indeed, the romanticism of much of the material is colored by the AIDS epidemic so that even the most jubilant outpourings are weighted down by a hint of grief. --Steven Stolder

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent dance-pop collection.......1999-11-09

    There are a number of lovely tracks here, even haunting ones. The opening song, "Heartbeat," for instance, just plays over and over in my head with its swirling, compulsive beat. There's the tough title track, with Sommerville abandoning his usual falsetto for a grittier delivery. Best of all is "By Your Side," sweet, sad, ethereal. I listened to this one all weekend am looking forward to the next play!

    5 out of 5 stars A Gay Dance Album for the 90's.......1998-07-23

    Jimmy Somerville, former lead vocal for Bronski Beat and The Communards, shines on this, his second solo project. His lilting falsetto, prominent throughout this album, floats effortlessly on such original tracks as "Cry" and "Because of Him," as well as on the fabulous remake of "Someday We'll Be Together." In the same way, his lower range on the title track "Dare To Love" is almost haunting.

    Lyric-wise, this album is also very powerful. Jimmy Somerville delivers an album that truly explores all aspects of the gay experience, both the light and dark sides. "Always By Your Side" proclaims never-ending love with a realism that few straight love songs can equal, without the stomach-churning sappiness that is so common today. "Alright," on the other hand, examines the perils (or pleasures) of one-night stands.

    This album is very dancable, as well. "Love Thing" and "Too Much" have ! a beat that is simply impossible to ignore.

    All in all, I think that this is an album that belongs in every gay man's album collection.

    5 out of 5 stars More than Victorian sentimentality.......2006-08-30

    It hasn't stood Tosti well that he was a favorite of Queen victoria's, or that his songs were a staple in parlors with potted palms. Ben Heppner here leads a one-man Tosti revival, accompanied by a salon ensemble that perfectly suits the sweet sentimentality of the songs. The singer clearly loves the music--he toured with this group and often adds Tosti to his encores. With his gleaming voice, Heppner lifts the gorgeous melodic lines into a higher realm. "Ideale" is the most famous and perhaps the greatest of Toosti's tunes, but there are a handful on that plane, and the rest bring nostalgic delight.

    5 out of 5 stars Full of atmosphere and taste........2005-01-12

    Ben Heppner is a tenor of considerable ability, and he shows here that he is not simply a bang-up HeldenTenor. Several Tosti songs have of course been perennial favorites of tenors for generations, and a few of these are included here. His singing of A'Vucchella is very affecting, the tempo exactly what the tenderness of the text calls for. In whatever he sings, Mr. Heppner maintains a legato that sense of phrasing that is beautiful. I concur with a previous reviewer, that I would love to hear him do more of Tosti's songs; Luna d'Estate, Marechiare, etc. are simply great songs and I would be eager to hear Mr. Heppner apply his talents to these.
    The chamber orchestra arrangements I found to be quite effective. It gives the entire disc a certain ambience of 'la belle epoque' that is wholly suited to the music. Very enjoyable disc indeed.

    5 out of 5 stars Ben Heppner Sings Paolo Tosti.......2004-08-19

    Anybody who records Tosti songs today faces formidable competition from 100 years of recordings.Battistini, Caruso, Ponselle, Bjoerling, and Pavarotti---to name some Tosti interpreters I'm familiar with---set high standards in this material. In this august company Mr. Heppner fares very well indeed. His " A Vucchella" may be a bit slower than Ponselle's, and his "Ideale" slower than Bjoerling's, but Mr. Heppner finds in this salon music just about everything there is to find. His half-voice pp octave leap at the end of "Ideale" is thrilling and perfectly matched to the music. On this CD, Mr. Heppner exercises more than one ascending diminuendo in full voice without resorting to falsetto, and this alone justifies having this disc.He gets to the heart of this material without once lapsing into operatic overemoting or sentimentality. If he is more successful with the songs set to Italian texts than he is with the English- and French-language songs, that's very probably because Tosti himself seems to have been more successful in setting Italian words. And one has to be patient in listening to some of this material---particularly the English-language songs---especially if this CD is serving as one's introduction to the 19th-century salon style. We're not used to the salon style any more than we are with the silent-film style. We've grown up with different genres. On the other hand, Mr. Heppner's readings of the great songs "Non t'amo piu" and "Ideale" need no introduction and serve to demonstrate how good Tosti really is at his best. I hope Mr. Heppner makes another Tosti CD and includes "Serenata", "Luna d'Estate", "Marechiare", and the fourth of the set of four songs this composer set to Italian texts by Gabriele d'Annunzio. (Mr. Heppner sings three of that set on the present disc, in addition to "A Vucchella", the latter with a d'Annunzio text in Abbruzzese dialect. Both Tosti and d'Annunzio were born in the Abbruzzi.) Very sensitive accompaniments, clear recording, informative notes, full texts and translations. Don't miss this one.

    5 out of 5 stars Strongly recommended.......2004-06-16

    While other tenors may have the name recognition, Ben Heppner has the goods. Heppner is no stranger to my CD collection, with numerous opera recordings as well as non-opera disks such as "My Secret Heart." What separates Heppner from the others is that he is ALWAYS at the service of the music. He approaches Tosti's songs in a manner that serves them, rather than imposing his voice/style on the music. This disc may not have the widespread appeal that "My Secret Heart" (should have) had for non-hardcore opera fans, but if you like this style of music, this is a fantastic recording.

        4 out of 5 stars Stunning Collection of Unbelievable Material.......2006-07-27

        What a great collection of original material.

        Shame about the skimpy and sycophantic liner notes.

        2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2006-03-09

        First of all, I'm a big Switchfoot fan. I also occasionally enjoy classical music. I've even enjoyed previous string tributes to other bands. Strung Out on OK Computer comes to mind, as well as a Pink Floyd tribute.

        But this just doesn't work for me. I liked maybe two of the songs on here, the rest sounded cheesy and pretentious. I ended up giving my copy away to my little brother for Christmas. :o)

        And I don't even know what "The Sharing of Tries" is.

        3 out of 5 stars For the complete Switchfoot Fan.......2005-10-11

        Most people will enjoy this album if they are fans of Switchfoot's older music. Although the album has a few hits from "The Beautiful Letdown", most of the CD features hits from earlier albums. My only complaint about the album, is that it is an entirely digital recording from what I hear. The songs are not performed by a real string quartet. If you are a fan of classical music then this might bother you, otherwise it is a pretty good album.

        4 out of 5 stars Another good one!.......2005-06-05

        I'm not a big fan of Switchfoot...but this Quartet versions of these songs are amazing. I think this album takes Switchfoot's songs to a whole new level and improves upon their composition. Switchfoot should do more work with strings, especially if the outcome is as great as this!

        5 out of 5 stars Very awesome String-Quartet Tribute.......2005-04-03

        This is my favorite String-Quartet Tribute so far. If you're a fan of Switchfoot (and definately orchestra type instrumentals) you're probably going to like this. Songs like Meant To Live, Dare You To Move, Learning To Breathe, Chem 6A, and some of your other favorites are all here. This was the second type of these String Tributes I heard, and I was very impressed. This isn't the switchfoot your used to with singing and guitar, but replaced with violins and cello's and that sort. Even though an odd replacement, it's just as good as the original Switchfoot and gives you a different hear on the music. 2 thumbs up.
