Time to Say Goodbye (Con Te Partiro), Chris Botti
January 20, 2007While many are aware of the song, it is usually the Andrea Bocelli and/or Sarah Brightman versions that come to mind.
For my mom’s funeral service, Chris Botti’s was the better choice. I wanted at least one horn piece. There is a quality in some works that reach into the depths and encounter an aching sadness. At the same time, they will emerge, and reach a height of emotion that combines this sadness with a triumph that is cleansing and healing.
The purity of Botti’s work is, very simply, inspiring.
