Billboard's Top 5 Classical Music Charts, Il Volo & Jackie Evancho In The Mix

The Billboard charts has seen some movement these pass couple of weeks with newcomers breaking into the top tier of the classical music charts and some cementing their place as one of the best acts of the year.
Likes of Placido Domingo have sled from the top ten while the likes of Andrea Bocelli surges up the charts.
Starting off the list is Dutchman Andre Rieu whose "Home For The Holidays," has displaced the London Symphony Orchestra's "The Greatest Video Game Music 2," for the No. 1 spot. The LPO isn't even in the top ten at the moment. Rieu's album has never left the top five for months as it continues battling it out with Jackie Evancho's "Sounds from the Silver Screen."
At No. 2 is the aforementioned Jackie Evancho and her "Sounds From The Silver Screen." Evancho is a much coveted talent and her hectic tour schedule is testament to that as the young singer is currently sweeping across the United States from coast to coast performing songs from her latest title.

This only being their second album, Il Volo the three teen tenor group has made it to No.3 on the charts with their recently released "We Are Love." The trio is coming off a big performance with Broadway icon Barbra Streisand earlier in the year and has been on the Billboard charts before with their first album which self entitled "Il Volo."
The group that comprises of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble were elated when they found out they were working with Streisand.
"That for us is very exciting," Boschetto says. "Our manager is a big fan of hers, so I started to know about her because of him, and then I got many CDs of hers...and I love her. We met her at (the recording session for) 'We Are the World (25 For Haiti)' in 2010. She's nice. I think that two years ago I was in my room playing PlayStation or with my friends playing (soccer). Now I'm here. We are having this big tour with Barbra Streisand, and we are going to sing with her. So I think the right words are that the dream is coming true."
Debuting at No. 4 on the charts is "Advent At Ephesus," by Benedictines Of Mary, Queen Of Apostles. This church based group is singing out of Gower, Missouri and members live a monastic life.
Rounding out the top five is The Piano Guys who have come to be a staple on the charts and like Andre Rieu have never really left the top five. The YouTube sensation utilizes cellos and pianos and every song they make only utilizes what they play themselves.

Il Volo to perform at American Music Theatre

The singing group known as Il Volo will bring its melodious sounds to the Lancaster area on Sunday.
   
The trio — Piero Barone, 18, Ignazio Boschetto, 17, and Gianluca Ginoble, 17 — is known for its renditions of classical songs and standards such as “O Sole Mio” and “Il Mondo,” a style of music dubbed “operatic pop” or “popera.”
   
The group’s members first met and performed together on an Italian television talent show in 2009. After hooking up with a manager and producer, they recorded their self-titled debut album in 2010.
   
Il Volo (which means “flight” in Italian) first came to prominence in the U.S. with the trio’s 2011 appearance on “American Idol.” Following that performance, their album went to No. 6 on the Billboard Top 2000 charts and has remained on the Classical Crossover Chart since March 2012.
   
The group has appeared on such shows as “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” “Today” and “Good Morning America” and filmed the PBS special “Il Volo Takes Flight.” The trio recently joined Barbra Streisand as her special guests for several of her upcoming concerts.

Il Volo appeals to a variety of ages

Move over, Justin Beiber. Watch your back, One Direction. Il Volo is coming to town.
   
For the uninitiated, Il Volo is the latest teenage singing group to take America by storm. The difference here is that this male trio, consisting of Piero Barone, 18, Ignazio Boschetto, 17, and Gianluca Ginoble, 17, prefer to belt out classical songs and standards such as “O Sole Mio” than the usual electronic-infused pop that dominates the charts.
   
Their style, dubbed “operatic pop” or “popera,” has been a hit with young and old alike, according to Ginoble.
   
“Our goal was to bring this kind of music to all people: Kids from 1 to those 92. Just like the Christmas song,” he said.
   
He said not a lot of artists span generations. “Justin Beiber only has the teenagers. Andrea Bocelli has only the 30-year-olds. Il Volo is not this way,” he said.
   
Il Volo, which means “flight” in Italian, first met and performed together on an Italian television talent show in 2009. After hooking up with a manager and producer, the trio recorded its self-titled debut album in 2010.

‘Popera‘ trio Il Volo comes to El Paso

Coming back for their second North American tour, Italian Opera trio, Il Volo will stop at the Plaza Theatre on Sept. 25 for the first time, with an evening filled with classical music.

Il Volo, which translates to “The Flight,” is composed of three teenage tenors, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, all who competed individually in the second edition of Italian TV show, Ti lascio una canzone (“Leavin’ you a song”). The trio became a “popera” sensation after their performance of the Neapolitan classic, “O Sole Mio” (“My Sunshine”) in 2009.

According to Bryan Crowe, assistant general manager at the El Paso Convention and Visitors Bureau, Il Volo became a huge hit in the United States.

“These three young folks have gained a lot of recognition, with special appearances in the finale of HBO comedy show, ‘Entourage, along with their national concert being aired live, from the Detroit Opera House, to PBS in March, 2012,” Crowe said.

Crowe said that not only will the concert be entertaining to a wide range of people, but it will also be very educative for younger crowds.

Concert review: Il Volo serves up teen popera with a twist (andscreaming girls) at the Plaza

Il Volo at the Plaza Theatre
If I told you that a bunch of girls would scream for a trio of operatic singers at the Plaza Theatre, you'd probably shake your head and ask if my next move was to sell you some swamp land near Marfa.
Well, you'd better buy it because a bunch of young females, as well as middle-aged and older men and women, bought into Il Volo Tuesday night at the old movie palace.
About 1,920 of them in fact, or about 80 shy of a complete sell-out.
Not bad for a group that's been together three years, whose members are 17 and 19 years old, who sing in Italian, Spanish, English and French and whose repertoire ranges from Neapolitan classics to American show tunes.
Il Volo, or "the flight" in their native Italian, are the teen pop answer to Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli and even the Three Tenors.
They are young men with mature voices, voices, by the way, they're still growing into.
Tuesday's show, part of their second North American tour, was their El Paso debut. The audience seemed to include a lot of people from the other side of the border, where the group's self-titled debut album was a big seller, and American fans who know them from their performance of "O Solo Mio" last year on "American Idol" or last February's PBS fund drive airings of "Il Volo Takes Flight," recorded last October in Detroit.
While it may seem improbable that people would flock to see a young, so-called popera group, it made perfect sense Tuesday night.

Italian teen trio Il Volo performs Tuesday at Plaza Theatre

Piero Barone sounds like a typical teenager.
He loves girls and sports cars and wears his signature red glasses because "they are cool and I feel comfortable with them," not because he needs to.
But in one obvious way, the 19-year-old doesn't sound like a typical teenager -- his voice. He's got a booming operatic tenor that belies his age.
Barone is one third of Il Volo, the unlikely popera -- operatic pop -- singing sensations from Italy. The trio will perform in El Paso for the first time Tuesday at the Plaza Theatre. The tour, their second in North America in two years, includes a handful of dates opening for Barbra Streisand and will be followed by the November release of their second studio album.
The group's been on quite a roll since debuting in the United States two years ago.
"The reaction we are having with the audiences is making our dream come true," Barone said from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "They make us believe that we are bringing our emotion and our kind of music, (which) we were born with in Italy, around the world, and we appreciate it because people love it."
Not bad for a bunch of guys from Sicily and central Italy who'd never met until they were cast on an Italian TV show.

Italian pop-opera teen singers Il Volo bring their music to the world

The three teens from Italy internationally known as Il Volo — Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble — have grown-up music on their minds. For the past three years, Barone, 19, Boschetto, 17, and Ginoble, also 17, have been singing a pop-classical crossover brand of opera.
Barone, calling from a tour stop in South Florida, immediately acknowledges they “don’t sing real opera,” but his enthusiasm for the style is beyond reproach.
“Our goal is to bring this kind of music around the world,” he said. “Our music is for all ages. I grew up with this music, so the first time I heard this kind of music I fell in love with it. Everybody can love this music. When you discover it, you are going to love it.”
In the span of a mere two years, Il Volo has released four albums. The trio’s self-titled debut was released twice. One version, which includes songs in Italian, Spanish and English, was released in May 2011. A Spanish edition of the disc hit stores a month later. A live album, Il Volo Takes Flight: Live From the Detroit Opera House, arrived in February. There’s even a digital-only EP of Christmas songs.

Il Volo: Miami Beach Concert!

Il Volo chills out on a couple of steps while performing at the Fillmore on Sunday night (September 16) in Miami Beach, Fla.
The guys — Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto — recently chatted with Royal Oak’s Daily Tribune about their recent return to Detroit.
“Well, you know, it’s a good memory,” Ignazio shared about their Il Volo Takes Flight — Live From the Detroit Opera House special which is out on DVD now.
He added, “It was big emotion … and a big moment for us because the Detroit Opera House is so charming, and everybody sang there — Charlie Chaplin and Michael Jackson, everyone. When someone told me that I was shocked. Detroit is the town of everyone. And now it’s the town of Il Volo, as well.”

Il Volo: Opera for the Belieber Set?

If there's one things American audiences have proven about our tastes for opera (or, more accurately, opera lite), is that we love it when it comes in a poppier package.
Ask a random person on the street to name acts from this genre, and they'll probably rattle off Andrea Bocelli, the Three Tenors, or maybe Il Divo. (Never mind the fact that these artists often perform standards and general ballads over proper opera).

What these artists and their ilk have offered is, to their credit, accessible in a way that allows fans to focus on the beauty of a particular song or voice. It doesn't take a lot of intellectual unpacking or much knowledge of a dramatic plot to enjoy Bocelli's voice taking flight. Of course, the good looks and press-savviness don't hurt, either.

Il Volo: tres tenores en Houston

Houston.- Cuando comenzaron anunciando su disco en los canales de televisión de este país, el trío de artistas causó una gran sensación. Tres muchachos muy jóvenes con unas potentes voces de tenor componen el grupo Il Volo, que traducido a nuestro idioma significa El vuelo.

Y es que literalmente estos artistas alzaron el vuelo desde Italia hasta este continente para traernos sus voces y regalarnos sus interpretaciones en un recital que tendrá lugar el día 22 de septiembre, en el Bayou Music Center, localizado en el centro de la ciudad y antes conocido como Verizon Wireless Theater.

El trío

Los integrantes del grupo son Piero Barone, de 19 años y nacido en el pequeño pueblo de Agrigento (Sicilia); Ignazio Boschetto, de 18 años, originario Marsala y Gianluca, el más joven de ellos, con tan solo 17 años y procedente de la región de Abruzzo localizada en el centro de Italia.

When the trio, composed of Piero Barone, 18, Ignazio Boschetto, 17, and Gianluca Ginoble, 17, sings, you're reminded of the lush, mature voices of Andrea Bocelli or Josh Groban. But their fresh-faced look is nothing short of the Italian Jonas Brothers.
Il Volo – which means "Flight" – is the epitome of cross-generational appeal: After appearances last year on "American Idol" and the series final of "Entourage," the trio will open eight shows for Barbra Streisand, including Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Oct. 11 and 13.

Il Volo take over the stage for a concert held at Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto, Canada on Saturday night (August 25).
The Italian trio — Piero Barone, Gianluca Ginoble and Ignazio Boschetto — recently chatted with Billboard about their upcoming album.
“It’s going to be a surprise, because it’s so (varied),” Ignazio shared. “It has classical moments and pop moments. For the most part it’s new songs.”
But that’s not the only exciting news — Il Volo is also going on tour with Barbara Streisand!
“That for us is very exciting. Our manager is a big fan of hers, so I started to know about her because of him, and then I got many CDs of hers…and I love her. We met her at (the recording session for) ‘We Are the World (25 For Haiti)’ in 2010. She’s nice,” Ignazio added.

Soaring talent: Il Volo taking the music world by storm

The Italian trio Il Volo has been jokingly referred to by other names since exploding on the music scene three years ago after winning an Italian talent show.
The Teenage Tenors (although they aren’t all tenors), the Italian Jonas Brothers and The New Bocellis are some of the names they’ve been tagged with. But Gianluca Ginoble, the handsome baritone of the group with the full Elvis Presley hair and bedroom eyes, doesn’t care for any of them.
“We are Il Volo, we are not those other names,” said Ginoble, 17, in a telephone interview from Chicago where the group also including tenors Piero Barone, 19, and Ignazio Boschetto, 18, had just finished a show before heading to Detroit and then Toronto and then Ottawa on a North American tour.
Il Volo brings, what the group calls, “operatic pop” to the National Arts Centre on Tuesday for the first time. And they return on Oct. 20, playing on a bill with headliner Barbra Streisand and trumpet player Chris Botti at Scotiabank Place.
The group’s name is Il Volo — Italian word meaning flight — and it is a perfect metaphor to the meteoric rise of these young Italians.
