Andrea Bocelli, Hayley Westenra “Ave Maria” Duet
March 7, 2008
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written is the incredible “Ave Maria” and it is performed daily in all parts of the world by the greatest voices, vocalists, choirs and aspiring artists. One does not need to know the language or intent of the lyric but only to breathe in the beauty of it. The late-great Pavarotti’s version could make you weep; Bocelli’s various versions by Bach, Schubert and Caccini on his “Sacred Arias” CD captures the soul and the new version by brings another beautiful version for our delighted ears and senses. Of the female versions, we like Hayley Westenra’s awesome rendition and so we have created a beautiful Bocelli-Westenra duet. We think it will also delight and encourage you to listen to all of them.
