Andrea Bocelli’s tribute to his mother

With all the alarming news coming forth in a flood these days, let us turn to something beautiful. Do you like opera music? If not, it might be because almost all the classical” opera works are in Italian or some other foreign language. Perhaps you have never heard some of the greatest hits” in that genre.

For starters, I would recommend Nessun Dorma,” a short but very moving piece of music. It might make shivers go up your spine. It might give you goose bumps,” or it might move you to tears. So beloved is this piece that even a virtuoso in the world of rock guitar (Jeff Beck) has given his version of it.

All that is my way to introduce you to this story about one of the most talented opera singers of the past several decades, Andrea Bocelli. I think I have a half dozen of his albums. I never tire of listening to this extraordinarily talented singer.

Andrea Bocelli

I discovered this story in my print edition of The Epoch Times, dated July 28, 2021. The article begins, QUOTE:

World-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli has shared a beautiful version of the 1940s song Mamma,” in honor of his own mother and a brave decision she made six decades ago.

When doctors advised her to terminate her unborn baby due to their fear he would have a disability, Edi Bocelli refused. The tenor’s gratitude and reverence can be felt in every sweet note of the song.

Sharing Mamma” on YouTube ahead of this year’s Mother’s Day, Bocelli’s rendition also features on his 2008 album, Incanto.” In honor of his mother, Bocelli wrote in the description of the video: She who, through divine grace, lives the generous mystery of birth, the sacred plan of giving shape and consciousness to clay.” END QUOTE

What a profound and sublime description of the handiwork of the Almighty! Here is a link to the rest of the story in the online version, which is well worth reading.

Here is a link to a video of Bocelli singing Nessun Dorma.” It is an aria from the final act of Turandot, an opera by Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924). You do not need to understand the Italian words to appreciate the gripping power of this piece.

Furthermore, in this time when we red-pilled Christians are praying incessantly for our brethren and nation to—not be woke”—but to awaken, it is just a coincidence, I suppose, that the English meaning of Nessun Dorma” is Let no one sleep!”

Jeff Beck playing Nessun Dorma”

And for those who care to see Jeff Beck’s rendition, here is a link to him playing it (also embedded below) for a massive audience in Chicago in 2010 at a fundraiser organized by Eric Clapton (another rock guitarist legend) for Crossroads, an organization which helps those with alcohol and substance abuse.
