Two of the most acclaimed singersin history – Celine Dion and Italian tenor-superstar Andrea Bocelli singing “The Prayer” with the New York Philharmonic. Live footage from the 2011 concert “One Night in Central Park.” It doesn’t get any better than this.
Andrea Bocelli is a well-known international singer/tenor from Italy. He debut in 1994 with his album Il mare calmo della sera, which put him to the top of charts and recognized as one of the greatest voices of all time. Since his debut, he is been known to performed with some of the best artists in the music field, like Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman, fellow Italian singer, Laura Pausini, Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, Christina Aguilera and many, many more.
Andrea Bocelli, who was born in Lajatico, Italy, in 1958, is one of the greatest singing talents in the world today. Andrea has been blind since the age 12, owing to congenital glaucoma and a blow to the head while tending goal during a soccer game. Andrea sings with the universal language of the heart and soul, transcending the disparate languages of spoken word.
I can’t even begin to describe the emotions this song stirs within my soul! As I witness the interaction between Celine and Andrea, the connection they share, the annointing of angelic voices and the way her facial expressions mirror his heart, it brings me to tears! I can’t help but wonder if this what our first interaction with Jesus will be like!
