New York (Top40 Charts/ Decca Label Group) - Millions will rejoice this holiday season with the much-anticipated release of
Andrea Bocelli's My Christmas. The first-ever Christmas recording from
Andrea is a heart-warming collection of songs destined to become a holiday classic for years to come. Produced by the legendary
David Foster, the CD features the singer's unmistakable soaring vocals, alongside duets with special guests to be announced soon. My Christmas will be released on Sugar/Decca on November 3rd.
My Christmas is the ultimate holiday recording from Andrea Bocelli, who sings traditional carols and favorites in English, with a few selections also featuring Italian and German. The lush, beautiful arrangements are evident throughout; highlights include "White Christmas," "Oh Holy Night," "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," "Jingle Bells," "Silent Night," "The Christmas Song," and "What Child Is This" among others.
"I have long dreamed of recording a holiday album that captures the beautiful traditions of the holiday season. Every year these songs have brought incredible joy to my family and I, and it is my hope to give back that same joy by making this album," commented Bocelli. My Christmas will also be a major component of a PBS Great Performances special to air on Public Television this December. The program will present both Andrea Bocelli and David Foster together in a stellar Christmas program, to be filmed on September 15th at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.
Additionally on the live front, Andrea is slated to perform three historic classical concerts for the first time ever at New York City's famed Carnegie Hall on September 8th, 9th and 11th.

An iconic figure in music who has sold over 60 million albums to date, Bocelli continues to defy categorization, age barriers and labels of all kinds. In concert or on the opera stage, he has worked with everyone from Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo to Bono. His memorable television appearances on such events including The Grammy Awards, mentoring contestants on American Idol, and the Official Ceremonies of past Olympic Games have propelled Andrea Bocelli to a global household name.
