DESCRIPTION
Andrea Bocelli is the best-selling crossover artist of all time and is the most widely known throughout the world. His duet with Sarah Brightman, ‘Time to Say Goodbye’, is the bestselling single of all time in Germany and Belgium, and is one of the most covered songs in classical crossover repertoire. His material varies from album to album, sometimes recording full operas, and sometimes releasing pop. Other than singing, Bocelli can play eight musical instruments. A lot of his material is original and is frequently covered by other crossover artists. Bocelli is often criticised by elitists for singing opera as they believe his technique is lacking but his emotive performances and pleasing tone make him the perfect crossover singer. Along with Brightman, Bocelli is the most significant artist in the genre, inspiring thousands and bringing classical music to the masses more effectively than any other.
