Here the internationally famous tenor Andrea Bocelli collaborates with his son Matteo Bocelli and daughter Virginia Bocelli to record their first album together, “A Family Christmas”. The recording showcases their intergenerational musical talents in a series of favorite Christmas songs. “We offer our small, intimate and heartfelt gift to anyone who would like to share the soundtrack to Christmas in the Bocelli home,” the family says. A Family Christmas captures the Bocellis’ festive spirit in full, with new interpretations of traditional Christmas songs arranged for all three voices, including “Away in a Manger” and “Joy To The World,” as well as beloved Christmas songs from around the world such as “Feliz Navidad” and “Il Giorno Piu Speciale,” another brand new track written by Federica Abbate, Cheope, Katoo and Andrea Bocelli. The trio’s complementary voices intertwine and reverberate in the song “Do You Hear What I Hear?” which opens the album in a rousing fashion. About their new album A Family Christmas, Matteo concludes, “Singing each of these songs together and sharing the emotions associated with a celebration that expresses family warmth and love has been and will continue to be our personal gift to unwrap under the Christmas tree and cherish for the rest of our lives.” BBC Music Magazine Christmas 2022 “On paper this should be twee (okay, it is a bit), but Andrea Bocelli’s children are very accomplished singers adding an Americanaccented polish and sense of pop to Bocelli Sr’s familiar tenor.
