Andrea Bocelli performs a heartwarming duet of ‘Ich Liebe Dich’ with his 8-year-old daughter.
The heartwarming father-daughter collaboration featured eight-year-old Virginia playing the piano while Bocelli sang Beethoven’s Ich liebe dich (Tender Love). The pair had spent many days at home last year practicing the piece, preparing for this touching performance.
As Bocelli delivered the opening lines of Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Herrosee’s poem, Virginia seamlessly accompanied him on the piano, showcasing her skill and poise.
The result was a tender and unforgettable duet, blending the world-renowned tenor’s powerful voice with his daughter’s budding musical talent.
The Italian singer originally shared the clip on May 3, 2020.
In the caption, he wrote:
“Little Virginia has been diligently preparing over the past few weeks to fulfill her commitments.
Today, we present our first duet—a timeless gem created long ago that still resonates beautifully, a lied that expresses love with boundless tenderness.”
Bocelli shared that after countless hours of practice together at the piano, the piece had become a special song for them.
He expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thanks to the great Beethoven, who transformed an amateur’s poem by Karl Friedrich Herrosee into a towering masterpiece from the simplest of beginnings.”
The renowned tenor is well-accustomed to performing with his children.
Matteo Bocelli, Andrea Bocelli’s son, collaborated with his father on the heartfelt single “Fall On Me” from the album Sì, performing in both English and Italian as a touching tribute to their bond.
The gifted singer also contributed to the album track “Ven a Mi,” further showcasing their shared talent.
Andrea’s duet “Ich Liebe Dich” with his only daughter marked their first musical collaboration—an unforgettable moment that fans hope is just the beginning of many more to come.
