Used for vocals on "Perfect Symphony", as is visible in the music video starting at 0:41.
Used for Cinema, as featured by sound engineer Jurij Ricotti in this October 24, 2015 Gearslutz forum post.
Hallo everyone, I'm Jurij Ricotti professional sound engineer, I would like to talk about the new Audio Ribera AR251. It's a new tube mic philosophically close to the Telefunken ELAM 251, with a natural silk top end clear and harmonic. We used (me, Pierpaolo Guerrini and Humberto Gatica) to record the new Andrea Bocelli album Cinema voices. Surprised since the beginning of the recording sessions we brought some pieces :-). Ribera is an Italian brand, we proud of their work of course, but comes from the professional experience of Silvano Ribera (Neumann, Telefunken expert in the '50s). We tested also the AR251 against the classical U47 tube, Telefunken Elam251 Original, and others with great success for the AR251. I hope to open a discussion with other sound engineers and new one interested to this kind of taste in vintage sounds. I will get some picts...
It is also mentioned by producer Bob Ezrin in this February 2019 Sound on Sound article, albeit unnamed.
"We recorded Andrea's vocals at his home in Forte Dei Marmi on the West Coast of Italy. He has a recording setup with a small console, some great converters and an Italian-made clone of a [Telefunken ELA M] 251."
In 2017, Bocelli used the microphone for his feature on Ed Sheeran's "Perfect Symphony", as is visible in the music video starting at 2:45.
