Il Volo

In May 2009, three fresh-faced teenagers, Piero Barone (17), Ignazio Boschetto (16), and Gianluca Ginoble (16), appeared on the popular Italian talent show TI LASCIO UNA CANZONE and dazzled television viewers with their flawless rendition of the Neapolitan standard "O Sole Mio." the boys, who won the competition easily, decided their group needed a name. "Il Volo," meaning "flight," was chosen to signify the feeling that these three young tenors were about to spread their wings and fly. IL VOLO was recorded in Los Angeles and Rome, as well as at London's famed Abbey Road Studios with renowned singer/producer Tony Renis and veteran producer Humberto Gatica (Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, and Celine Dion). The album is a stellar showcase for these three young singers' astonishing vocal talent and interpretive gifts as they take on a range of both new and traditional, classically influenced pop songs.
