But this time out Bocelli has chosen to make the recording of a Christmas album a family affair, bringing his 24-year-old son Matteo and his 10-year-old daughter Virginia into the studio to record their first-ever album together,"A Family Christmas." Produced by composer and multi-Grammy and Academy Award nominee Stephan Moccio who’s helmed projects for Celine Dion, The Weeknd and Barbra Streisand to name just a few,"A Family Christmas" also includes a couple of new songs. Among those new offerings is an absolutely gorgeous piece called “The Greatest Gift” which Moccio co-wrote with Amy Wadge, Jonas Myrin and Andrea Bocelli.
"Merry Christmas, Love" features 15 mostly traditional Christmas songs including “Let It Snow,” “Winter Wonderland,” “Jingle Bells,” “The Christmas Song” and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” as well as beloved carols like “Away In A Manger” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem”.
