This collection is an extended special edition of Si, his chart-topping album that he released last year, which features some of the biggest names in pop music, as well as a few of Bocelli’s friends.
It opens with “Alla Gioia (Ode To Joy),” and it is followed by “Return To Love,” where Ellie Goulding lends her crystalline vocals. It continues with “Un Rêve De Liberté” and a melancholic version of “Ragazzo Mio (Danny Boy),” which is sung beautifully.
The 25th anniversary edition of “Il Mare Calmo Della Sera ” is an added treat, and “Dormi Dormi Lullaby (featuring Jennifer Garner) is quite soothing. Equally superb is “Fall On Me,” where he collaborates with his son, Matteo Bocelli.
After “Vertigo With Raphael Gualazzi At The Piano,” it closes with “I Am Here” and on a fitting note with the captivating “Ave Maria Pietas,” which features Aida Garifullina.
Si Forever: The Diamond Edition is available on Apple Music and on Amazon Music.
On Dec 18 and 19, Bocelli will be performing at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
