Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli - Time To Say Goodbye

Time To Say Goodbye performed by Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli. (C) 1997

In November 1996, Andrea and Sarah Brightman were invited to perform the duet 'Time To Say Goodbye (Con Te Partirò)' at the farewell contest of the German World Light-Heavyweight boxing champion, Henry Maske. A national hero held in unrivaled esteem, he is known for his love of selecting entrance themes to his bouts. Sarah Brightman, the internationally renowned soprano and friend of Henry Maske heard 'Con Te Partirò' in a restaurant while dining with her friends. Entranced by the singer and the song, Brightman made contact with Andrea. Andrea and Brightman re-recorded 'Con Te Partirò' as the duet 'Time To Say Goodbye' with members of the London Symphony Orchestra.

This live version is from Brightman's first full concert recording, "Sarah Brightman: In Concert", from London's Royal Albert Hall with the London Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Paul Bateman. Guest artists include Andrew Lloyd Webber, Adam Clark and Andrea Bocelli. The concert was released to video in 1998.
The concert was directed by David Mallet.

My grandad passed away this morning, I went to visit him a few weeks ago and I asked him about his favourite music, he mentioned Sarah so here I am, listening to this absolute gem, playing this for him 🖤

Anyone listening to these two angels in May 2024?

Only so many people on earth can do this ! The orchestra too ! It’s like humanity’s display of the best we can do. The highest form of culture !

[CancelRevival]

The way she hugs him while he's singing. The epic song. The faultless vocals from both. The orchestra. The choir. This is a timeless performance

[devonseamoor]

So touching, heart and soul, everything given. Together. Time to say goodbye to loneliness and despair, time to say goodbye to old systems, to abuse of power, of humanity, of... love. Be a voice, not an echo. Wishing you, and all who read this comment, good health, and the wisdom to endure the mimicry of dominance, looking through illusions, alive and alove.

Of all the female singers who’ve stood next to Bocelli and make him feel their presence, this queen guided him, whispered to him, touched his lips, rested her head against him, kissed him, hugged him, hold his hand tight to the finish while delivering the best ever. Yes, this is to die for.

if only Andrea could see how Sarah looks at him.😍😍

This was my dads choice of music for his funeral. I can't listen to it without tears even 3 years

[minakatsama]

I don't even remember how many times I've watched it. Still, every time is like the first time. I enjoy it to the fullest!!!

[egzecutore]

I just want to recognize the orchestra. They play beautifully and possibly don’t ever get the credit. Without them, this song would never happen to be so beautiful. Thank you very very much; I appreciate each and every one of you and your effort…

I had the pleasure of seeing Maestro Bocelli perform this in Melbourne, Australia. It was simply astonishing. Bravo, Andrea and Brava, Sarah

[fernandomelo]

19 years ago, I was listening to this song in a hospital bed. At that time I made a promise to walk to Fátima. Tomorrow, 04/19/2024, I will keep my promise and make a point of listening again.

I just have one thing to say.. THE GREATEST LIVE PERFORMANCE OF ALL TIME.. THIS IS THE MUSIC YOU WILL HEAR IN HEAVEN

[ThirdRowBack]

I love Sarah's voice and how she sings the high notes. Sings, not shouts! Huge difference.

[michaelmcintyre]

3:18: the smile as Sarah drops her head on his shoulder. My one year old grand daughter does that to me and I can't wipe the smile off my face. Magical moment.

[daniellewatson]

I will never ever get sick of hearing this. Such beautiful music.

[TCsnipzz]

I’m a 25 year old guy who when around others try my best to seem somewhat tough but when alone and watching this I go to tears every time because of how incredibly beautiful it is and seeing someone as talented and Andrea perform such a number is just so impossibly moving. Thank you for this.

[daughterotheking]

I'm here...two beautiful voices❤❤

2 opera legends together on stage. Just absolute magnificence
