Andrea Bocelli has teamed up with some of the hottest musical stars on the planet for his album Si reuniting with his friend Ed Sheeran after their chart-topping 'Perfect Symphony' on a new song called 'Amo Soltanto Te' (written by Ed with lyrics by Tiziano Ferro) and joining with pop sensation Dua Lipa on the single 'If Only'. Crossover superstar Josh Groban and classical soprano Aida Garifullina also duet with Bocelli on the record. It is his first album of new material in 14 years - 16 brand new songs which celebrate love, family, faith and hope. At the center of the new record is a spine-tingling duet between father-and-son, as 20 year-old Matteo Bocelli steps into the limelight to duet with Andrea on 'Fall On Me', a beautifully poignant song which reflects the bond between parent and child.
When he was growing up, Andrea Bocelli recalls finding inspiration
in a favorite recording of sacred music performed by tenor legend
Franco Corelli. Bocelli--who in the meantime has come to inspire
millions of fiercely loyal fans himself--returns to the genre as
the guiding theme of Sacred Arias, the release of which coincides
with the first English-language biography of the singer. These
performances are filled with the singer's phenomenally well-known
vocal signature: his flair for long, sweetly floating high notes
and the gentle sense of cadence he brings to a melody. It's a
mistake to compartmentalize Bocelli into a singer of "operatic"
versus "popular" styles: in truth his approach is at heart the
same. Lack of color and control in his phrasing remains a drawback,
but the emotional empathy Bocelli evokes is never in doubt. The
arias collected here sample some of the most famous devotional
pieces: Schubert's "Ave Maria" and Mozart's transporting "Ave
Verum," as well as an arrangement of "Silent Night" in which
Bocelli tries out his English. There's also a decidedly odd choice
of bedfellows for a program of "sacred" music, such as a song from
Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder (whose "angel" is the object of an
overpoweringly erotic attraction) and Handel's figurative ode to a
tree, "Ombra mai fu." Still, Bocelli sings with an unfeigned
directness that is sure to expand his already enormous following
even further. --Thomas May
