With one of the most unique, distinctive voices on the planet, and a phenomenal career marked by the same far-reaching measure of uniqueness and distinction, Andrea Bocelli has ambled effortlessly in the realms of both classical and popular music. Along the way he has rewritten music history by amassing worldwide sales of more than 60 million albums, topping charts internationally with his critically acclaimed albums and singles, and earning an impressive array of prestigious awards, including a Golden Globe for Best Song, plus Grammy and Academy Award nominations. His towering presence on the pop charts is also undeniable – in a unique feat, four of his albums occupied the US pop charts simultaneously. Audiences in virtually every corner of the globe are enthralled by the commanding passion of Andrea’s formidable voice, and at the same time touched by the tender intimacy and humble generosity with which he offers his special gift. Now, with Vivere, a spectacular ‘Best Of’ collection that combines some of his most popular songs as well as four exciting new tracks, including new collaborations with Laura Pausini, Lang Lang and Kenny G, there is once again cause to celebrate the extraordinary talents of the man whom internationally-renowned music producer David Foster calls, “my favorite singer in the world”. In spite of the accolades bestowed upon him, Andrea remains refreshingly aware of how he arrived at such dizzying heights.
