Andrea Bocelli and David Foster Record with Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Capping off an intense week of multiple recording sessions inside the historic Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, Andrea Bocelli and David Foster joined the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square for a few hours this month (see video below). “The Lord’s Prayer,” featuring Andrea Bocelli, the choir and orchestra, and David Foster at the organ will be part of a PBS Christmas special produced by WNET. After several takes, David Foster then switched to the piano to accompany both the choir and orchestra for “The Prayer,” a song he personally composed, which will be featured in an upcoming choir and orchestra recording. Between takes of the recording process, Bocelli sat down at the Tabernacle’s famous pipe organ and gave an impromptu recital of “Ave Maria” while accompanying himself. “It was beautiful; his sweet voice carried throughout the Tabernacle,” said choir member Robb Cundick, who also said the unplanned performance was his favorite part of the afternoon. After the conclusion of “The Lord’s Prayer,” Bocelli said he had enjoyed his day in Salt Lake as well as singing in the Tabernacle. He complimented the Tabernacle acoustics and said that the entire experience was very moving. “For me it was a huge experience,” Bocelli said. “The quality of the choir is very high. … The orchestra also (is) very inspiring.”

Hi! I have been listening to it all this week. I just shared it with you, and you can find it featured on my channel this week too. I get teary-eyed just thinking about it. One of the finest performances I have ever heard. Hope you enjoy it too. -Brian.

We owe so much to David Foster for encouraging great singers and music. It’s a winner with DF and Bocelli. It doesn’t get any better than that. It makes my heart full to listen to them and the choir. Blessings on you all.

Bocelli is amazing in so many ways. I doubt he had experience with that huge pipe organ at the Tabernacle, but as usual, he sat down & played beautifullly! Andrea is my hero! Nobody that I have ever known of has the ability and the nerve to try almost anything that comes his way.
If using excuses not to achieve, then we should all look at him. I hope that he has a long life and that we have many more chances to see and hear him.
Andrea Bocelli, you are really something wonderful to behold!

Brian, Oh, you’re so nice. Thanks, I got it.
yeah, I know he is Italian & I love him.
My native tongue is also not English, so sometimes I can’t understand because of my reason (my poor english), not him. Anyway, thanks for your wonderful information.
Cheers friend!

Hi grenedehehe. To answer your question..
He is not fluent in English. Italian is his native tongue. He said: ” it’s a big pleasure for me to sing here, because when I heard this song with your voice, I had the impression that this music came from the sky.” cheers friend! -Brian.

OMG, Andrea looks as gorgeous and amazing as usual.
David is also great.
By the way, May I ask what did Andrea say at 0:53 as I can’t
listen clearly.

I was one of the few that got to sit in the tabernacle and watch this taping. It was amazing. Bocelli & Foster were very kind and gracious the whole time they were there.
