Friar Alessandro Voice of Peace

Despite not being a professional singer, Friar Alessandro has a fantastic natural tenor voice and an unstoppable passion for music. The majority of his performances are singing for charity 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. 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. Songs include Amazing Grace, 2. Resta Con Noi, Signore, La Sera, 3. Agnus Dei, 4. Con Te, Gesu, 5. Ave Maria (Vavilov) 6. Aria Da Chiesa, 7. Jesus Bleibet Meine Freude, 8. Ave Maria (Saint Saens), 9. Adagio, 10. Santo Fransco, 11. Ave Maria ( Gounod, Bach), Here I Am, Lord.
