• “IL VOLO SINGS MORRICONE”, Il Volo’s new much-awaited album dedicated to the Maestro, is an exciting journey through the art and music of one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. This deluxe version of the album is a double LP gatefold on 180g coloured vinyl, featuring 14 old and brand new tracks!

• As a sign of the high esteem held for him, Il Volo have decided to devote part of their amazing career to Ennio Morricone, with the endorsement from the Maestro’s family for this exclusive global project.

• An album with 14 songs recalling the Maestro’s legendary melodies, including some forever etched in our memory – for example, “L’estasi dell’oro” or “The Ecstasy of Gold”, featured in the movie “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. For the first time ever, this will be accompanied by lyrics written by Andrea Morricone specifically for Il Volo.

• The album also features “I colori dell’amore” (“The colours of love”), an unreleased track composed by Andrea Morricone for the trio that was unexpectedly performed live for the first time, together with other songs by Ennio Morricone, at a huge concert held at the Arena di Verona on June 5, 2021.

• The album was recorded in the Forum Studios in Rome, with Maestro Marcello Rota conducting the historic Roma Sinfonietta Orchestra, which – since it was established in 1994 – worked extensively with Maestro Ennio Morricone, performing under his musical direction at some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls.

• The album also features other key collaborations: violinist David Garrett in “La Califfa” (“The Lady Caliph”), Hauser from 2CELLOS in “Se” (“If”) and trumpet player Chris Botti in “Come Sail Away”.

• A record that is destined to go straight to the heart of millions of people worldwide, as it combines the unforgettable melodies by the celebrated conductor, musician, composer and author of some of the greatest film soundtracks in the history of Italian and international cinema with the trio’s unique voices.
