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.

Used on Bocelli's vocals for Cinema, as mentioned by sound engineer Justin Cortelyou in this February 2019 Sound on Sound interview.

At the bottom are three aux effect tracks, with Valhalla Plate, Audio Ease Altiverb (on the Haydn Hall preset), and UAD EMT 140 reverbs. Notable in the session is that by far the most plug-ins are used on the two vocal tracks. (...) "All three aux reverbs were used on Andrea's main vocal track, as well as on Matteo's vocal tracks, because the reverbs each have different characteristics and it was all about getting the right blend. The Haydn Hall makes it sound a bit more like in the big hall at AIR, and the Valhalla Plate is a little brighter and not as dense. The EMT adds some warmth. We always played around with these three to get the right combination of colours. I had this vocal chain on Andrea's vocal in every song on the album, though there will have been slight differences in settings."

Used on Bocelli's vocals for "Fall On You", as mentioned by sound engineer Justin Cortelyou in this February 2019 Sound on Sound interview. An image of the settings can be found here.

"There are five vocal tracks because Andrea and Matteo sang some doubles, and also when we were in Nashville, some production decisions were taken about where to use Andrea's and where to use Matteo's vocals. Matteo re-sang the first chorus, which is the third track. We used slightly different EQ than on the previous take. The vocal chains we used on the two of them are different from any other vocal chain I have done! Andrea's vocal chain starts with the Massenburg Designworks EQ, with just a low cut and adding some high end. Next is the Eiosis e2 de-esser, cutting around 6kHz; the UAD Fairchild 670, not doing very much, only compressing in some hot spots; the Manley Massive Passive EQ boosting some high end; and the Maag EQ2, doing a sub low cut and adding some more air."
