Time to say goodbye andrea bocelli and sarah brightman

Beschrijving

Wanneer ik alleen ben,
droom ik van de horizon
en ik slaag er niet in om de woorden te vinden.
Aangezien ik weet dat er geen licht is,
op een plaats
waar geen zon is.
Als je hier niet bij me bent.
Voor het raam
Laat iedereen mijn hart zien
dat jij in brand stak.
Jij sloot je binnen in me op.
Het licht, jij
Korte ontmoeting op straat

Tijd om afscheid te nemen
Van landen die ik nooit
Heb gezien en nooit met jou deelde
Nu, ja, zal ik ze ervaren
Ik zal vertrekken samen met jou
Op schepen over de zee
Die, ik weet,
Nee, nee, niet langer bestaan
Ik zal ze samen met jou ervaren

Als je ver weg bent
Droom ik van de horizon
En woorden schieten te kort
En ja, ik weet
Dat je bij me bent
Jij, mijn maan, bent bij me
Mijn zon, je bent bij me
Bij me, bij me, bij me

Tijd om afscheid te nemen
Van landen die ik nooit
Heb gezien en nooit met jou deelde
Nu, ja, zal ik ze ervaren
Ik zal vertrekken samen met jou
Op schepen over de zee
Die, ik weet,
Nee, nee, niet langer bestaan
Ik zal ze samen met jou herervaren
Ik zal met je meegaan
Op schepen over de zee
Waarvan ik weet dat ze
nee, nee, niet langer bestaan
Met jou zal ik ze herervaren
Ik zal met je meegaan
Ik en jij

"Con te partirò" (Italian: [kon ˈte ppartiˈrɔ]; "With You I Shall Depart") is an Italian song written by Francesco Sartori (music) and Lucio Quarantotto (lyrics). It was first performed by Andrea Bocelli at the 1995 Sanremo Music Festival and recorded on his album of the same year, Bocelli. The single was first released as an A-side single with "Vivere" in 1995, topping the charts, first in France, where it became one of the best-selling singles of all-time, and then in Belgium, breaking the all-time record sales there.

A second version of the song, sung partly in English, released in 1996 as "Time to Say Goodbye", paired Bocelli with British soprano Sarah Brightman, and achieved even greater success, topping charts all across Europe, including Germany, where it became the biggest-selling single in history. Brightman and Bocelli produced a version with Brightman singing in German and Bocelli in Italian, with this version being available on the CD Time to Say Goodbye.[1][2] That version alone has now sold more than 12 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time.[3]

Bocelli also recorded a full Spanish version of the song in 1997, titled "Por ti volaré" ("For You I Will Fly").

Background[edit]

The song's original single release by Polydor Records was not commercially successful in Italy, and received little radio airplay there. Elsewhere, however, it was a massive hit. In France and Switzerland, the single topped the charts for six weeks, earning a triple Gold sales award. In Belgium, it became the biggest hit of all-time, spending 12 weeks at No. 1.[4]

Critical reception[edit]

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote about the song, "The Benelux triumph of poppy tenor Andrea Bocelli continues with this excellent seasonal anthem, which wisely leaves the singers classically trained voice in the spotlight. The orchestral arrangements take a back seat, as they should in Bocelli's case."[5] After Sarah Brightman released her version, Larry Flick from Billboard stated that she "has one of the truly glorious voices in musical theater". He described the song as a "lushly orchestral piece".[6] British magazine Music Week rated the duet version five out of five, picking it as Single of the Week. They added, "Mostly sung in Italian, it has a beautiful, soaring melody that gives it true Nessun Dorma potential."[7]

Time to say goodbye andrea bocelli and sarah brightman

Sample of "Time to Say Goodbye", sung by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman

In Germany, East West Records, in conjunction with Polydor, marketed a lyrically-changed version of "Con te partirò", retitled "Time to Say Goodbye", as the theme song for the final match of boxer Henry Maske (then the light-heavyweight champion of the International Boxing Federation), having seen previous success when Vangelis's "Conquest of Paradise" was also promoted via Maske's fights. "Time to Say Goodbye" was also turned into a duet with Sarah Brightman, who had performed "A Question of Honour" for one of Maske's previous fights. German producer Frank Peterson, who has worked with Brightman since 1991, opted to give the song an English title rather than the German title "Mit dir werde ich fortgehen".[24] Recording of the song took place at Peterson's Nemo Studio, in Hamburg.[25]

The match took place on 23 November 1996, pitting Maske against American Virgil Hill, and drew a television broadcast audience of over 21 million. Bocelli and Brightman performed the song to open the match, and it was used again during Maske's exit.[24]

By December, the "Time to Say Goodbye" single, released on 15 November 1996 through East West, had reached number one on the German singles chart, with sales estimated at 40,000–60,000 per day and projected for at least one million by the end of the year. Both singers' albums also received a boost in sales. Airplay on German radio stations such as Norddeutscher Rundfunk was well received by listeners.[24] By February of the following year, the single had broken the all-time sales record in Germany with 1.65 million sales,[26] and would eventually get certified 11x Gold for selling over 2,750,000 copies.[27]

"Time to Say Goodbye" reached number two on the UK Singles Chart upon its release there in May 1997, and was certified Gold.[28] It remained in the top 30 for another two months, helped by steady radio airplay on BBC Radio 2, which was overtaking Radio 1 in popularity with an MOR-orientated playlist.[29]

The duet was included on Brightman's 1997 album Timeless, re-titled as Time to Say Goodbye in the U.S. with the song itself moved to the start of the album.[25] Brightman has also recorded a solo version, which was released on the duet single as well as later albums including Classics and Diva: The Singles Collection. A live version was released on The Harem World Tour: Live from Las Vegas CD as well as her various tour DVDs. Bocelli and Brightman have performed the duet together publicly several times including Bocelli's "Statue of Liberty concert" held in New York City, and "Live in Tuscany" concerts.[30][31]

Critical reception[edit]

Chuck Taylor from Billboard wrote that the song is a "deliciously grand interpretation of the smash Andrea Bocelli/Sarah Brightman ballad "Time To Say Goodbye"-replete with romantic new lyrics. Summer is in peak vocal form, alternating between technically sharp note-scaling and warmly soulful vamping." He also added that she is "complemented by clubland hero Hex Hector's well-measured production, which couples melodramatic faux-classical string flourishes with time-sensitive dance beats."[64]
