At last, a legend for the new millennium. A legend in the Homeric sense of a myth, the“word that speaks” which has flowered here through song: pure enchantment and sensational power, like Caruso, Gigli, Del Monaco, Corelli…
A legend (of Andrea Bocelli’s stature) is not created by design: the most astute marketing would never be able to produce such a result. It is simply that people “recognize” him and he has a following in the most far flung parts of the world (and so for the artist the greatest adventure begins: bearing the responsibility for those millions of souls who ask to identify themselves in his voice, to unlock and interpret their deepest needs – first and foremost, the need for beauty.)
And so it happened, in an apparently equal context (a singing competition, a showcase of popular songs), and yet – with hindsight – the ideal, in fact the most perfect place: the infancy of a legend followed a careful course which went beyond imagination, broke traditions and created its own originality.
Bocelli sang at Sanremo and that excited universe which was concealed behind the mask of the bored television public recognized and voted for him. The tone of his voice brought tenderness to the world, his fame increased exponentially beyond the entire media circus.
