Andrea Bocelli fans said these talented kids have the voices of angels singing on his timeless hit “Con Te Partirò”. When the legendary Italian tenor uploaded an orchestral version of the operatic pop song with a children’s choir, the track quickly went viral, and it’s easy to understand why. The Children’s Chorus of the Teatro Regio Torino delivered such heavenly vocals on the song, and the level of talent those kids have is just amazing.
Lead vocalist Valentina Escobar is truly an exceptional talent, and the sound of her and the choir singing with so much heart is deeply moving. The vocals of the choir combined in a wondrous harmony with the Budapest Art Orchestra, making for a powerful arrangement. We are always here for some Andrea Bocelli, and we love to hear this special celebration of his classic hit.
The final third of “Con Te Partirò” when the orchestra really picks up is just magnificent, and the kids really rise to the occasion to deliver a thunderous finale. Fans just loved the performance, and added comments such as “I’ll use this for my alarm clock. It’s like waking up with angels!” and “Very angelic voices and the harmony is perfect. The orchestra blends well with the singers. This is just music to my ears and heart. How I wish I could see this group perform one day. I can feel heaven in your talents.”
Bocelli made the most of the recording session, as he also recorded his own live studio session on “Con Te Partirò” while the Budapest Art Orchestra were at the studio. The Italian tenor brought a touching emotion to the performance, and his final climactic high note is one of the ages. Bocelli also tapped the talented singers of the Budapest Art Choir for his live studio session on the song, and they added some impressive weight to the conclusion of the song.
Bocelli released “Con Te Partirò” on February 21, 1995, as a single from his second studio album Bocelli. Italian songwriters Francesco Sartori and Lucio Quarantotto wrote the music and lyrics, respectively.
Readers might be interested to hear that “Con Te Partirò” topped the charts in both Belgium and France and became one of the highest-selling singles of all time in the latter.
Bocelli later re-recorded the song as a duet with Sarah Brightman titled “Time to Say Goodbye.” The Bocelli and Brightman duet became an even bigger hit than the original, as it went to number one across much of Europe and scored multiple Platinum certifications.
