Andrea Bocelli
Feb 14, 2016
Antelope Audio, the leading manufacturer of high-end professional audio equipment and the pioneer in the adoption of Atomic clock generators is bringing the musical genius of Andrea Bocelli closer to home. As his new album "Cinema" reaches number 1, the superstar tenor harkens Antelope Audio's atomic clocking for sonic detail, depth and clarity.
Bocelli has recorded fourteen solo studio albums, of both pop and classical music, three greatest hits albums, and nine complete operas, selling over 80 million records worldwide. He has had success as a crossover performer bringing classical music to the top of international pop charts. Perhaps more importantly, his heartfelt performances strike an emotional chord among audiences around the world. Bocelli and his longtime engineer, Pierpaolo Guerrini, depend on Antelope Audio's studio clocking technology in the studio to bring his recordings as close as possible to the authentic live performance.
Though he is one of the most important operatic tenors who ever lived, Bocelli also has an extraordinary sense of sonic perception and is able to ascertain every detail in his recordings. While recording Puccini's famous unfinished opera Turandot in Valencia last year with Maestro Zubin Mehta, Guerrini introduced two new pieces of gear in the recording chain: An Antelope Audio 10M atomic reference generator and Trinity master clock combination. The result was immediately perceptible to Bocelli, according to his engineer: "When Andrea heard it he noticed right away and told me, 'Pierpaolo, from now on, we should always use the atomic clock."
Bocelli, who continues to expand his own artistic possibilities by pushing his talent and passion to new levels, expects nothing less from the technology he uses. "Andrea is very curious by nature, especially interacting with people. I think there is a great connection between Andrea and Igor [Levin, president and founder of Antelope Audio], who is definitely a genius," says Guerrini. "There is a wonderful mutual respect when they talk about various topics, both technical and musical."Having achieved the success that many artists can only dream of, Bocelli has never forgotten his roots: "Everyone is influenced by the place that he has lived, it is absolutely true. I was born and grew up in a small village in the countryside, and sang for a long time riding my horses." Perhaps his music brings his fans a little closer to home, and perhaps Antelope Audio brings the maestro himself one step closer to sonic perfection: "The sound is nice, simple and beautiful. I like it," he says.
