Editorial Reviews
2011 album from the Italian trio who first appeared on the popular talent show Ti Lascio Una Canzone and dazzled television viewers with their flawless rendition of the Neapolitan standard "O Sole Mio." The boys won the competition easily. Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca recorded Il Volo in Los Angeles and Rome, as well as at London's famed Abbey Road Studios. 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.

Geffen Records presents "Il Volo", featuring Il Volo, a trio of young Italian tenors, known as i Tenorini, Ignazio Boschetto, Piero Barone and Gianluca Ginoble, opening up all avenues of rich and melodic styling. The album features three new songs and covers of Italian classics like "Il mondo", "Un amore così grande" and "`O sole mio".
Il Volo has a stable of outstanding musical people behind these talented clean cut looking tenors, produced by Michele Torpedine, manager and producer for several years of Andrea Bocelli and Zucchero and Tony Renis singer-songwriter, actor and Italian music producer.
Enjoyable moments all around with this program of unbeatable tunes sung in English, Spanish and Italian - just the right ingredients.

My favorite is the Charlie Chaplin tune "Smile", which gives us an insight to these exceptional young singers - who are trying to bring other young people into the realm of good music and entertainment.

The Italian trio of Piero Barone (19), Ignazio Boschetto (18) & Gianluca Ginobe (18) are ready to take the world by storm with their self titled debut CD release 'Il Volo'. The CD has been doing well in their home country of Italy since its release in November 2010. Now with a worlwide release they are ready to conquer a worldwide audience. Il Volo has the tools to take the world by storm in this fantastic CD (wonderful orchestral base music with great keyboards & guitar sound accompanied by incredible rich varied vocals by the talented trio in 12 tracks)! The trio sings classical music in mainly Italian with occasional Spanish & English ("Smile", "Painfully Beautiful" & "This Time"). Stand-outs/gems/solid tracks include "O Sole Mio" (up-tempo track with wonderful vocals & melody), "El Reloj" (great guitar string pick-ups & vocals), "Per Te" (sounds like musical score but with incredible vocals", "La Luna Hizo Esto" (great guitar/violin combination, very melodical music & vocals. This is my favourite pick from this CD) & "E' La Mia" (a beautiful violin layered track with great vocals). There is hardly a weak track to talk of in this CD. On overall, Il Volo (Italian for flight) is ready to conquer the world with this 5 star performance, a highly recommended CD listening! A well deserved 5 star performance indeed!

Great album by three Italian teenagers. It is wonderful to hear teenagers who can actually sing! Contains songs in Italian, Spanish and English. Every time I listen to it I pick out my latest "favorite". Il Volo is going to have a great career.
