Info for A Family Christmas

To celebrate, one of the world's most famous musical families invites you to their own stunning Tuscan home. For the very first time on an album, the Bocelli family unites to sing so many of the songs we all love. The songs that instantly bring us back to that most precious of things - our magical memories of Christmas.

This Christmas season, internationally renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli teams up with his 24-year-old son Matteo Bocelli and 10-year-old daughter Virginia Bocelli to record their first album together, A Family Christmas. The recording showcases their intergenerational musical talents in a series of Christmas favourites.

"We offer our small, intimate and heartfelt gift to anyone who would like to share the soundtrack to Christmas in the Bocelli home," says the family. A Family Christmas captures the Bocellis' festive spirit in full, with new interpretations of traditional Christmas carols arranged for all three voices, including "Away in a Manger" and "Joy To The World", as well as popular Christmas songs from around the world such as "Feliz Navidad" and "Il Giorno Piu Speciale", another brand new track written by Federica Abbate, Cheope, Katoo and Andrea Bocelli. The trio's complementary voices intertwine and reverberate in the song "Do You Hear What I Hear?" which opens the album in rousing fashion.

Of their new album A Family Christmas, Matteo concludes, "Singing each of these songs together and sharing the emotions associated with a celebration that expresses family warmth and love has been and will continue to be our personal gift to unwrap under the Christmas tree and cherish for the rest of our lives."

Andrea Bocelli
Andrea Bocelli‘s new studio album, “Passione” is filled with romance and beauty. “Passione” is a lush collection of Mediterranean love songs featuring duets with global pop stars Jennifer Lopez, Nelly Furtado, and the late Edith Piaf. The album reunites Bocelli with 16-time Grammy Award-winning producer David Foster, who produced Bocelli’s 2006 release “Amore,” which sold more than 4.2 million copies.

“Passione” is in essence the second volume of “Amore,” with a “fil rouge” which ideally connects the albums. As with “Amore,” which featured timeless masterworks, “Passione” includes several beloved classics such as “Love Me Tender,” “Girl From Ipanema,” and “Sarà Settembre,” (better known to English-speaking audiences as Neil Diamond’s “September Morn”). Jennifer Lopez is featured on the soft and sensual track “Quizás Quizás Quizás” and Nelly Furtado joins Bocelli on “Corcovado.” The album also features a duet with the late French chanteuse Edith Piaf on the song “La Vie En Rose.”

On the album, Bocelli sings in six languages (Italian, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Neapolitan) with his unmistakable voice, as Foster accompanies him on piano, along with Peruvian guitarist Ramon Stagnaro. The sensual sound is rounded out by Cuban, Brazilian, and Portuguese rhythms and a 63-piece orchestra recorded in London.

“Andrea continues to be my favorite singer of all time,” Foster declares. “I pride myself on working with great voices, but he transcends that. He's a singer for all people, from the common man to the Pope.”

Bocelli is an iconic figure in music with a myriad of breathtaking career achievements to his name. The Italian tenor is the most successful classical solo artist ever and one of the best-selling artists in music history, period, with more than 80 million albums sold worldwide. He is also credited with enabling the core classical repertoire to cross over and find a home atop the international pop charts, creating a new genre of music along the way. He has performed for four U.S. presidents, two popes, and the British royal family, as well as at ceremonies for the Olympic Games and the World Cup. He has been praised by such luminaries as Luciano Pavarotti, Franco Corelli (his beloved teacher and guide), Zubin Mehta, José Carreras, Lorin Maazel, Renée Fleming, and Celine Dion.

This album contains no booklet.
