Andrea Bocelli Aranjuez

I admire people who rich an achievement in their profession in spite of various obstacles. The one of most popular tenors nowadays is Andrea Bocelli. His became total blindness in age of twelve. This tragedy didn’t stop his music study. In the same year he received the first prize in his first song competition. He graduated as a Doctor of Law at the University of Pisa. He even had been working as a court appointed lawyer till his career turned on the way of singing. Later he became a pupil of Italian tenor Franco Corelli. His firs major operatic role was Rodolfo in La bohème at the Teatro Comunale in Cagliari in 1998. Beautiful voice, attractive appearance and a lot of passion make his performances unforgettable.

I’ve found this recording of Aranjuez concerto of Joaquin Rodrigo, a famous Spanish composer, who also has lost the use of his eyes in his childhood. This famous music full of passion and sadness sounds very impressive in the interpretation of Andrea Bocelli.
