Romanza (20th Anniversary Edition) (Remastered)
To celebrate 20 years since its original release, this autumn, a new 20th Anniversary special edition of the global bestselling album ‘Romanza’ will be released worldwide. Considered Andrea’s breakthrough album and still the best-selling Italian album of all time, this special re-mastered edition also boasts 3 bonus tracks including 2 brand new versions of the legendary “Con Te Partirò” (Time To Say Goodbye).
“For me… ‘Romanza’ is first and foremost the compendium of my personal history and my history as an artist – it is a piece of my heart which, through the miracle of music, I have been able to share with the world” – Andrea Bocelli
“Con Te Partirò” ( Time to Say Goodbye) was famously performed by Andrea Bocelli and British soprano Sarah Brightman in 1996 at the final boxing match of light-heavyweight champion Henry Maske. The match – which was broadcast to 21 million viewers globally – introduced Andrea (who up to this point had been a local hero) to the world stage. The song quickly soared to the top of charts worldwide becoming the fastest selling single of all time. To this day it remains amongst the best-selling singles of all time having sold over 12 million copies globally.
‘Romanza’ – the 20th Anniversary version also includes stunning remastered versions of Andrea’s all-time favourites: “Vivere,” “Vivo Per Lei,” “Miserere” and title track, “Romanza.”
“It has been remastered to improve the sound quality, making listening clearer and more immersive, and I have added new musical contents, which I hope will be a pleasant surprise for all those who have loved the album” – Andrea Bocelli
To celebrate its 20 year anniversary, Andrea has recorded two new stunning versions of “Con Te Partirò” (Time to Say Goodbye) one featuring a full orchestra and his legendary voice, the other an intimate acoustic version just featuring Andrea and piano. He has also re-recorded “Il Mare Calmo Della Sera” – the beautiful title track from the tenor’s debut studio album.
With over 80 million albums sold worldwide, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and audiences including three presidents of The United States and three popes, this special anniversary edition of Romanza – the most celebrated album from the world’s most beloved tenor is not worth a miss.
