The most beautiful duet ever in classical-crossover music … a gorgeous blend of two fantastic voices and it has proven itself by its award-winning, chart-topping and record-breaking statistics since first heard in Andrea Bocelli’s “Romanza”! It is an all-time favorite of ClassyMusic. The PBS Great Performances special produced by “Thirteen/WNET” Vivere: Andrea Bocelli Live in Tuscany” is a musical and vocal delight. Here is the lovely “Time to Say Goodbye” excerpt from that performance:
This music is timeless much like Andrea’s duets with Celine Dion, Heather Headley, Laura Pausini and Josh Groban. All are beautiful and refreshing in a day where we are bombarded with electronic, manufactured voices and sounds. Give your eyes and ears a musical feast!
