World-renowned Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, internationally acclaimed Chinese pianist Lang Lang and famous Chinese soprano Lei Jia have united for a brand new song titled Forever You and Me, which is a musical gift to the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
A cultural gift presented by musicians from China and Italy – as Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo will host the Olympic Winter Games in 2026 -the song is sung in both Chinese and English by Bocelli and Lei, with Lang on piano. The song is composed by Shu Nan with lyrics from Zhang Heping.
“It is a great joy for me to collaborate with two extraordinary Chinese artists-the soprano Lei Jia, who was a happy surprise for me, and the pianist Lang Lang: a dear friend, with whom making music is always a moment of great artistic enhancement,”said Bocelli.
“As an artist, I believe it is my responsibility to speak to everyone’s heart. It was an honor to be able to give my modest contribution to the most grand sports event on earth, which takes place in a country that I love and where one-third of the world’s population lives; a country extraordinarily rich in history of thousands of years,” he said. “Culture and art, at every latitude, is an instrument of mutual understanding and precious support for the development and peace of the world, bringing people together and immediately eliminate any possible mistrust.”
