O Sole MioIl Volo

Il Volo – ‘O Sole Mio

“’O Sole Mio’ is a very famous canzone, and it’s even featured in Japanese music textbooks.

You might have sung it as a set piece at some point.

To be honest, it’s insanely hard to sing, but listening to it is incredibly soothing.

I considered recommending covers by tenor singers like Luciano Pavarotti or Mario Lanza, but since I wanted something that brings a happy feeling, I chose a cover by Il Volo from when they were kids this time.
