On 2020's Believe, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli presents an uplifting and relaxing album of originals and finely curated classical works centered on the values of faith, hope, and charity. Produced with lush orchestral instrumentation by Steven Mercurio and Haydn Bendall, Believe follows Bocelli's 2018 album Si. It also arrives on the heels of his equally inspiring Easter concert Music for Hope, A Great Performances Special recorded at Milan's historic Duomo Cathedral for PBS. Here, Bocelli offers a mix of classic favorites, including renditions of the standard "You'll Never Walk Alone," Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," and Giacomo Puccini's "Angele Dei." We also get the singer's version of the previously unreleased Ennio Morricone composition "Inno Sussurato," as well "Gratia Plena," Bocelli's moving contribution to the 2020 film Fatima. Believe also features several guests, including bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss, who duets with Bocelli on the spiritual hymn "Amazing Grace," and acclaimed mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli, who joins him on the romantic Mauro Malavasi composition "Pianissimo." At the core of Believe is Bocelli, whose rich, lyrical singing continues to inspire on this warmly delivered album. ~ Matt Collar
