«Tanto per cominciare, ho voluto subito Elisa».

E poi?

«Ci saranno Sarah Brightman, che mi ha aiutato a lanciare nel mondo Con te partirò, poi la cantante Heather Headley, Chris Botti, il pianista Lang Lang famoso per i concerti di Rachmaninov e infine David Foster, produttore di Madonna e Celine Dion che là per me suonerà il pianoforte davanti a un'orchestra di 32 elementi».

Parole di ANDREA BOCELLI.

...." A ME M'HA SCOPERTO SOLO IL BUON DIO....MI HA MESSO UN VELO DI TRISTEZZA SAPERE DI QUELLA POLEMICA...." ( TORPEDINE CONTRO ZUCCHERO).

...IL MIO SOGNO E SEMPRE STATO QUELLO DI ESPORTARE IL MIO PAESE IN TUTTO IL MONDO..."

[Motoko]

I'm so curious about what kind of music Lang Lang is going to play.
Does he play piano pieces seriously or in this cheerful mood?

And in this video, Dmitri Hvorostovsky sings "'O sole mio" along with accompaniment by Lang Lang.

Oh, I'm so curious about what happens at the Teatro del Silenzio!

[DueBaci]

Will you be able to go to the Teatro this summer Motoko ?

[Boots]

Chris Botti plays the sweetest trumpet I have ever heard - THE SWEETEST!!!

[Motoko]

ah maybe in the first one he forgot how to play it correctly no ?

I think he not only plays the toughest piece perfectly, he also has the capacity to act funny.

Unfortunately, I'm not attending the Teatro this summer. I expect the dvd.

[DueBaci]

I will join you in waiting for the DVD.

[Janice]

The dvd "waiting room" will be a big one! I'll be there, too. I have a couple of Lang Lang cds and am really looking forward to his teaming up with Andrea. He and Yo Yo Ma are the two musicians I've most wanted to work with AB. Now I can check one off the list!

Thanks for those videos of Lang Lang, Motoko and Linda.
I think to be able to play comically like that, he must be very good.
He makes it look easy, and that's the clever thing. I always think of Chinese performers as very serious, what a refreshing change this man is.
