2005 studio album that reflects the multi-national character of the group; the songs are not all sung in English, but drift between Spanish, English and Italian.

It was worth the wait. If you enjoyed the debut Il Divo CD you will love this one. The entire CD is great, "All By My Self" is by far the highlight of the CD.
Take a chance buy purchase this, you will not be disappointed."

"loved this CD as much as the other two. their voices blend perfectly again and carlos mesmerizes me. his phrasing of a song is perfect. i even enjoyed hearing the repeats. the only suggestion i would have made was hearing Hero in english - the spanish didn't do it justice."
Bravo

"Il Divo's newest release is simply amazing. I thought the premier album would be hard to beat, but they have accomplished that and more. Ancora is a wonderful blend of pop and classical selections. Their version of En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor is stunning. And the duet with Celine Dion on I Believe In You is an instant favorite. Bravo Il Divo!"
Hear the Angel Voices again!!!

"It's hard to put into words how gorgeous this album is. If you like exquisite music expertly done, this is an album you'll definitely want in your collection. It's as romantic as it is restful, and the harmonies are so good, you won't care that the words are in a language you don't know. The language of beautiful music is there, and that's all you'll need. Order it now. You don't want to wait until January!!!"
