Album Notes & Community Reviews

Due to complex licensing restrictions preventing the release of his original master recordings, the legendary vocalist painstakingly re-recorded his most iconic hits for this collection. 'In Dreams: The Greatest Hits' showcases his remarkably preserved, operatic vocal range, benefiting from vastly improved, high-fidelity studio technology. The project played a crucial role in his late-eighties career resurgence and cultural rediscovery.

Genres

Descriptors: ballad, melodic, operatic, soaring-vocals, orchestral
