VITTORIO GRIGOLO Arrivederci

Arrivederci follows the massive success of Vittorio’s debut album In The Hands of Love. The album shot into the top 10 of the UK album chart, and the hottest new tenor was quickly snapped up to perform duets with Nicole Scherzinger and the legendary Lionel Richie. A stunning collection of thirteen of the best Italian songs and opera arias personally chosen by Vittorio Grigolo, his second album proves just why his recent appearance in Faust at the Royal Opera House garnered rave reviews. Arrivederci combines Grigolo’s selection of songs from the past century that are steeped in Italian tradition with a handful of beautiful arias. Recorded with Pier Giorgio Morandi conducting the Orchestra del Teatro Regio di Parma, this album is a deeply personal homage to the music with which the great tenors of the past have thrilled generations of music lovers. From incomparable arias such as Verdi’s "La donna è mobile" (Rigoletto) and Giordano’s "Amor ti vieta" to the quintessentially Neapolitan tunes of "Core ‘ngrato" (Cardillo) and "Mattinata" (Leoncavallo), Arrivederci reflects the sounds and traditions of a period in Vittorio’s life he will never forget. Vittorio Grigolo, born in Tuscany and raised in Rome, became a soloist in the choir of the Sistine Chapel at the age of nine, sang the role of the shepherd boy in Puccini’s Tosca in the Rome Opera alongside Luciano Pavarotti at 13, and at 23 was the youngest tenor ever to debut at la Scala in Milan.
