Following his critically acclaimed albums Voice of
Assisi and Voice of Joy, Friar Alessandro presents his beautiful new
album Voice of Peace, with a universal message of spreading harmony
throughout the world.
Although not a professional singer, Friar Alessandro has a fantastic
natural tenor voice and an unstoppable passion for music. His performances of sacred songs and hymns are authentic because he is a man of faith. The majority
of his performances are for charity sung in churches and auditoriums.
This
album includes songs in five languages; Latin, Italian, English, French
and German, with famous melodies taken from popular and classical music
repertoire, including a brand new text written by the Friar for
Albinoni’s Adagio.
Also
on the album are Santo Francesco, a song full of emotion, which has
hardly ever been recorded before, and is linked to the Franciscan order
to which the Friar belongs and Gounod’s Ave Maria, performed with Bach
piano specialist Ramin Bahrami.
Two
popular church songs Resta con noi Signore, la sera (Stay with us,
Lord) and Here I am, Lord (St Louis Jesuits) are tracks are favourites that have been sung by millions of
people over the past forty years.
The
recording took place in Vercell, accompanied by the orchestra Camerata
Ducale, founded around 1300 to accompany the Holy Shroud when exposed to
the public.
