Very special evenings for the people of Marsala Ignazio Boschettothe Agrigento area of Naro Piero Barone And Gianluca Ginoblefrom Montepagano in Abruzzo, for everyone The Flightwhich this year celebrates ten years since their victory in Sanremo – where they will accompany Clara on Friday duets evening – with “Grande amore”. A song that also brought them one step away from the podium of the Eurovision Song Contest, where they placed third. Today the standard bearers of Italian lyrical pop are at PalaRescifina of Messina for the final stage, the only Sicilian one, of “Tutti per uno – “Ad Astra” Live nei Palasport”, tour of their first album of unreleased songs “Ad Astra”, released last year for Epic Records And Sony Music Italy after participating in Sanremo with “Capolavoro”. The setlist is rich, including opera arias, covers and unreleased songs, for three young professionals, each gifted with a powerful voice, enhanced by a clear group performance, without flaws or useless singing tricks. Warmly welcomed by a transversal audience, they offered an impeccable performance, at times joking with the many Sicilian fans, and admitting that they felt like family.
And precisely “Grande amore”, which marked another fundamental stage in their journey, started by the talent of Rai1 “Ti lascio una canzone” is present in the setlist with the other pieces from the latest album – including the recent single “Tra le wave” and other songs written by Alfredo Rapetti Mogol, Federica Abbate, Edwyn Roberts And Raige – and the covers of some cornerstones of the Italian musical tradition, such as “’O sole mio”, “Il mondo” (Jimmy Fontana), “A love so great” (brought to success by Mario Lo Monaco, Claudio Villa and other artists), “In the blue painted blue” (Domenico Modugno) and the aria “Nessun dorma” from “Turandot” by Puccini.
“For us it is a great pleasure to be in Sicily because with this tour we are celebrating a great milestone: our 15 years of career together. – they said greeting the audience – It will be a musical journey without borders, a journey that will lead us to astradto the stars. It all started last year at the Sanremo Festival with a special song (“Masterpiece”) that we want to sing with you.” Spectacular plays of light with cones and tree-like structures inside welcome the opening notes of the medley of “Per Aspera”, “Chiaro di luna” and “Opera”, taken from “Ad Astra”. Followed by the cult song by Queen “Who wants to live forever” from 1986. After the greetings to the public, “Capolavoro” and some extraordinary single numbers: “Rocket Man” (Elton John), sung by Gianlucaand, again from Queen’s repertoire, “The show must go on”, performed by Ignatius in a performance greeted by standing ovations. I also publish my feet for Piero and his interpretation of the famous aria “E lucevan le stelle”, from “Tosca” by Puccini.
All together again for “Nelle tue mani”, the Italian version of “Now we are free”, the theme song of “Il Gladiatore” written by Hans Zimmer. A series of musical pearls were also performed to the echo of the audience: “Se”, the theme from “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” by Ennio Morricone in the sung version, “Miserere” (Sugar And Luciano Pavarotti), “The sound of silence” (Simon & Garfunkel) and, from the latest album, the cult Queen song “Who wants to live forever”. Five giant screens, clever plays of light, various standing ovations enriched an evening of good Italian and foreign music, repeating the success achieved by the group during the other dates that marked their return to Italy in sports halls.
To accompany The Flight thirty elements between band and orchestra, directed by Maestro Edmondo Moses Savio. The artist opened the concert Cecille (Cecilia Sordoni), supporter of the tour, who performed a cover of “You make me feel like a natural woman” by Aretha Franklin and the unreleased “Solamente farfalle”, with which he will represent Italy at Vina Del Mar Festival.
