If you hear the title “Con Te Partirò,” you might not exactly know if you know the song, but you definitely do. The Americanized title of the song it “Time to Say Goodbye” because the original title means “with you, I shall leave.” Also, this song was used in the top-rated movie, “Blades of Glory.”
This song came to light because of the rendition by Andrea Bocelli, which in this video, we see him perform with a fellow opera singer, Sarah Brightman.
Who is Andrea Bocelli, and how did he bring “Time to Say Goodbye” to life?
Andrea Bocelli is a world-famous opera singer, and he is absolutely amazing. He was diagnosed with glaucoma at five months old and, at the age of 12, went completely blind in a football accident. His parents encouraged him to explore his musical talent and revealed his amazing voice!
Andrea Bocelli released his album “Bocelli,” and this album had the song “Con Te Partirò” and a year later, it’s English counterpart was released. Andrea Bocelli is recognized for creating the best rendition of this song.
In this video, we see the song revived with Andrea Bocelli and the English singer Sarah Brightman.
The soprano singer and the opera singer bring this song to life, and with Sarah Brightman’s voice like an angel, this rendition is probably the most popular one now. The combination of their voices flow so beautifully, how could you not love this version?
Sarah Brightman has had a very successful career with musicals, a lot of them written by Andrew Lloyd Webber because they were married. Now that the pair are divorced, Sarah Brightman is forging her solo career, and this is one of the renditions!
This performance took place in Teatro Del Silenzio, Italy, and took off immediately.
This performance was during the Music for Hope event, and this rendition inspired hope. Whenever this was released, it jumped to the top of the charts all over Europe.
It begins with Sarah Brightman’s beautifully sweet and soft voice. With all of her experience, she has terrific control of her tone, and with everything going on, from the orchestra to the crowd, she is really all you focus on.
Then Andrea Bocelli starts singing his part, and it leaves goosebumps.
Andrea Bocelli’s voice comes in, and it is such a fantastic contrast to Sarah Brightman’s soft and sweet voice. Andrea Bocelli’s voice is deep and robust, and it makes so much sense why his rendition alone was the first one to jump-start this song to fame. It is almost like he was born to perform this song.
Although Andrea Bocelli lost his vision, which was a very traumatic experience, he has conquered life through his love for music. Music is definitely something Andrea Bocelli was made to do, no matter what.
Their contrasting voices come together, and it creates a whole new experience.
Both of their solo performances during this song are so beautiful, but when their voices come together, the song reaches a whole other level. Together, their voices lift the other ones and just makes the most beautiful experience, bringing the song really together.
Both of them are so talented, and this performance just shows their raw talent. Andrea Bolleci and Sarah Brightman should duet together more often!
