He has appeared in numerous esteemed operas including Romeo and Juliet, Carmen, Madame Butterfly, Werther and more. Many describe him as the master of “crossover classical”, harmonizing a traditional style with contemporary mainstream collaborators and sounds. Over the course of his nearly four-decade career, Bocelli has become the best-selling classical artist of all time with over 80 million records sold worldwide.
Dion once said of the Italian singer, “If God had a singing voice he would sound like Andrea Bocelli.” The world-famous tenor is perhaps best known in the UK for duets with the likes of Sarah Brightman on “Time To Say Goodbye” and Celine Dion on “The Prayer”. It was fun and enlightening to sing in Italian - a real joy to record.” I have always had an affinity with classical music and I’m a sucker for a love song. The Belfast Telegraph quotes Goulding as saying: “It was a huge honour that the legendary Andrea Bocelli wanted me to feature on this song with him. It features additional duets, including one with the American actress Jennifer Garner and a track with British songstress Ellie Goulding. What really counts is the affection of an audience - the handshakes, the smiles, the applauses.”īocelli also released an extended version of Si on 8 November titled Si Forever: The Diamond Edition. I would never have imagined achieving this, even in a country that welcomed me from the very beginning. 1 in the UK, he tells inews, “Life never ceases to amaze. The album features duets with Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Josh Groban and Matteo Bocelli, the singer’s son.Ĭlearly fans are digging the duets as Si has sold over one million copies worldwide. This hasn’t been done since The Three Tenors in 1996. Released on 26 October 2018, Si made Bocelli the first classical singer to top the UK Albums Chart in 23 years.
