to Jo Longstreth, What a chance we have, you did that video, throu you I have the chance to listen to that beautifull interpretation of Ignazio again and again, I'll never say thank enough to you Jo and I know all you did for the boys. Have a great summer, Jeanne from Belgium.
it's a very old song, in french it says, I gave you my haert, "je t'ai donné mon coeur" my mother sang it, I must say thank you to outlawjo, and bravo to Ignazio, what a voice, you are a great great singer, what an interpretation. it's just fantastic.
Wow, I did not fully appreciate this song the first time I heard it. Ignazio is doing amazing new things with his voice, it's fuller and richer, just proof that at 17 he is a professional and growing into one of the greatest voices of all time.
What an ambitious choice for his solo! Absolutely gorgeous! It is nice that it is just Ignazio and the pianist, so no percussion or other noise. These three just make me gleam with pride for some reason. Such endearing young men. I am especially fond of Ignazio, but I love all three. I will see them live in Phoenix on 9/26 and can hardly wait!
I couldn't agree more! "Bring Him Home" is one of the most moving songs I know of and I think Ignazio would give us an amazing performance of it. I cannot help but shed tears every time I hear it. Like almost everyone who has heard this guys, I love them all - so much talent in three young men of this quality is almost more than I can take -- but I'll try and I hope they keep the music alive and well and coming at us. Can't wait for their new album!!
I really wanted to be surprised next month in Dallas with Ignazio's new solo....but when I saw this posted I couldn't resist. BRAVO Ignazio! Very difficult song and sung beautifully plus I noticed a new maturity in his voice. I did recognize the melody from years ago. Don't know if it'd be appropriate to insert the English lyrics into such a classic, but I'd like to see it done. What a pleasure to watch Il Volo....amazing talent and so charming.
He is wonderful, Ignazio voice is stong and he always does a great job with whatever he sing. He almost made me cry. Actually they all make me want to cry.
I can't remember where I read this at, but I read that Ignazio was asked to try out for a role in the movie Les Miserables that is coming out this year. I remember reading this was because he impressed everyone so much with his American Idol performance. I've always known since day 1 that Ignazio knows exactly how to "put on a show".. he did it on American Idol and he also did it on the Flight DVD during Mama. Smart young man!
The downside to hearing Iganzio sign Memory when I saw them in Phoenix is that I did not get to hear this song. I cannot wait to discover what will be on the new CD in November. I was lucky to give Ignazio a birthday card in Phoenix, 9/26/12, a week early. One of those singing ones with Queen singing We Will, We Will Rock You. To my amazement, Ignazio started belting out the song with the card. In his amazing voice! An experience to die for!!
yes, yes, yes! and such presence! How about "Miserer" with Zucchero? Ig. did it at 14 (I think) but try it again with the powerful voice. He is incredible. Must be super smart--he seems to pick up any song easily.Hope they are having fun with B. on tour.
Kathy, I agree. I saw a "young" tape of him singing "Miserere"----fantastic! Hope he tries it again with his "new" voice. Would be terrific if Zucherro could sing with him. Zucherro recorded it with Bocelli. Great music. There's so much music he could sing (sigh)
I was just thinking that I would love to hear Ignazio perform Bring Him Home from Les Miserables. There is no question that he could hit the high notes. But I think he has such control of the softer, passionate parts that he could deliver a stellar performance. Sigh. I hope we get to hear that one of these days. Just sayin'.
While this song is from a German operetta by Franz Lehar, it is well known here as "Yours Is My Heart Alone" from "The Land of Smiles" in English. I wonder why Ignazio chose to do a solo in Italian while the others did solos in English. The English version is certainly more well-known here. But personally, I like the sound of sung Italian better than sung English so you'll get no objection from me. I think he sings this beautifully.
Here is an interpretation..look it up on google for the rest. ' You who have taken my heart 'You'll be my only love no, I forget you I will live for you to dream of you. You or any or never now for me like the Sun are you lontan da teis morir d'amor Wherefore art thou that thou hast stolen my heartI see you among the Roses you say many things. If the mild wind caressing you a perfuming of youth you make me tremble. The night I dream of you shaking which spell my heart on your heart.
