BUON NATALE is classical crossover trio Il Volo's new Christmas album. “Three voices, one soul” – this single Il Volo vocal soul was already evident in 2009, when the three teenage Italian singers' flawless rendition of the Neapolitan standard “O Sole Mio” on a popular italian talent show dazzled television viewers, and propelled them on a whirlwind of international activities culminating with special guest appearances on Barbra Streisand's SRO tour.
Along the way, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble signed a worldwide recording contract with Universal Music Group and became the first Italian artists to sign with a U.S. label in the U.S.
Released in November 2010 in Italy — where it was certified platinum — and worldwide in 2011, Il Volo was soon followed by an invitation from none other than Quincy Jones to represent Italy by singing on the charity single “We Are The World: 25 for Haiti” — joining such superstars as Celine Dion, Josh Groban, and most auspiciously, Barbra Streisand.
