Il Volo links & newsThe first month of the year is ending and time seems to fly. Il Volo for sure is flying, spreading the wings on Sanremo winds and preparing to another level in their career. No more awesome children that sing like adults, but going mature artists facing the joy and the pain of building a career on the musical world.

I sent them yesterday my personal question, not an “All About Il Volo” question. And I hope to be among the 30 selected to be answered. Personally I have thousands of questions to them, as a writer another thousand and as the manager of All About Il Volo another thousand too. Maybe one day I can sit with them for a coffee and received the thousand of answers instantaneously through a simple eye to eye communication 🙂

But… the news!

English: Ignazio Boschetto, Tenor of Il Volo.
The joy and the freshness of his twenty years are accompanied by an impressive tenor voice. From Marsala to the most important international stages the step was lucky and short; the participation on a regional singing competition and the encounter with the songwriter Franco Fasano led to his TV debut on the Rai program “Ti lascio Una Canzone”. There the meeting with his traveling companions Piero and Gianluca with the birth – in 2009 – of the trio “Il Volo”. Since then, five years of concerts and performances with great artists: from Pooh to Massimo Ranieri, from Anastacia to Barbara Streisand. And very soon will come the seal: Il Volo is in the race for the Sanremo Festival in 2015.

Italiano: Ignazio Boschetto, Tenore de Il Volo.
L’allegria e la freschezza dei suoi vent’anni accompagnano un’imponente voce da tenore. Da Marsala ai più importanti palcoscenici internazionali il passo è stato fortunato e breve; la partecipazione ad un concorso canoro regionale e l’incontro con il cantautore Franco Fasano hanno portato al suo debutto in tv al programma Rai “Ti lascio una canzone”. Qui l’incontro con i suoi compagni di viaggio Piero e Gianluca con la nascita – nel 2009 – del trio “Il Volo”. Da allora,cinque anni di concerti ed esibizioni con grandi artisti: dai Pooh e Massimo Ranieri,da Anastacia a Barbara Streisand. E fra pochissimo arriverà il suggello: Il Volo è in gara per il Festival di Sanremo 2015.

Il Volo - AristonOn Jan 26, 2015  in Milan, Il Volo attended a press conference and interviews to several media. Now the videos are being released and we will published them here. The interviews are in Italian and almost all the news shared are here: Il Volo great News! Italian tour and more!.

Let’s start with this nice video published by AskaNews of the press conference attended by Il Volo in Milan, yesterday. – Il Volo a Sanremo con “Grande amore”: pop lirico parla  ai giovani (youtube Jan 27, 2015 in Italian)


alternative video by AAIV

Translation:
After the international success, the stage of Sanremo. Il Volo, the trio of singers composed by Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, debuted in competition at the Festival with “Grande Amore”, a song that highlights their vocal talents, with the aim to be known and appreciated by the Italian public with their gender, the pop lyric. “After the many experiences abroad we thought why not go back to Italy and sing on the most important musical event of the year? It’s a good opportunity to spend more time with Italians, explained Gianluca.

In Italy the three singers, two tenors and a baritone, enjoy a television popularity, their debut was in the talent show “Ti Lascio Una Canzone” in 2009 and since then they have done a lot of road. They were the first Italian to sign a contract with Geffen, the US major, the only ones invited by Quincy Jones to “We are the world for Haiti” with 80 stars, have singed with Barbra Streisand and sold millions of copies worldwide, winning two Latin Grammy Awards nominations and winning the Latin Billboard.

They have are not snobs, due to the great international popularity, nor fear the “competition”. “We will do all on the right time, we have seen in the past that colleagues as Pavarotti and Bocelli, the most important tenors, have had to succeed abroad before returning” said Piero. “We did concerts all over the world and we always take everything with great humility: there are guys who would do what we do. Our goal is not to win Sanremo, we take everything with fun and passion,” added Ignazio on the meeting with journalists.

The song that present Ariston is “Grande amore” about the love seen by the boys of 20 years. The song is included in the EP “Sanremo Grande Amore” that will be released on February 24, produced by Celso Valli, which collects famous songs of the history of the Festival on new arrangements: there’s “Ancora” by Eduardo De Crescenzo, which Il Volo will sing on the evening of the cover songs. “The guys of 20 years do not speak like the people of 50, they have a different vision of the text. The text is simple for all, to bring this genre to young people,” said Ignazio, speaking about “Grande amore”.

In the album, the trio decided to collaborate with Italian musicians: among others stands the name of Stephen of Battista. The next projects: a tour in Italian prestigious venues, from the Arena di Verona to Pompeii, and pending a international album, to be released by the end of the year.
