Il Volo are an Italian teen trio with powerhouse operatic voices. Their self-titled debut, which has already been certified platinum in Italy, was just released stateside on May 17th. And one lucky Contest Corner reader will win a copy of their album, so read on!
Three teenagers with amazing voices – seventeen-year-old Piero Barone, and sixteen-year-olds Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble – Il Volo are a pop-opera trio that got their start by winning a popular Italian talent competition, “Ti Lascio Una Canzoneâ€. I received a copy of their debut to review, and was very impressed by their outstanding vocal abilities. A smooth, ear-pleasing disc, this album will appeal to a wide range of people; the pop overtones and fantastic vocals make this accessible to audiences who may not normally enjoy opera.
Track listing:
1. Il Mondo
2. E Piu’ Ti Penso
3. ‘o Sole Mio
4. Un Amore Cosi’ Grande
5. El Reloj
6. Smile
7. Per Te
8. La Luna Hizo Esto
9. E’ La Mia Vita
10. Notte Stellata (The Swan)
11. Painfully Beautiful
12. This Time

I’ve never heard such beautiful, strong, operatic voices. But I don’t have a crush on any of them. I wouldn’t be able to choose.
I’d like to win because the music reminds me of a trip to Italy I took with my mom.
I like their version of “Smile”!
I saw them on American Idol. They’re amazing. Love to hae their CD
