From All About Il Volo
Il Volo links & news for Jan 29, 2015
Buongiorno! Almost ending my well deserved and loved vacations! Next week the news here will have to wait. My work happens far away from computers or mobile devices, then the site and all our social networks will be updated late on my day. If I will lose on surprise, as you all would already know the news by facebook or twitter through the fan clubs, maybe I will win in consistence, because the time helps on consolidate and deepen all the news and also on avoid some mistakes we do when the excitement is present.
Well, while we are waiting for Chinese news, let’s begin.

Email from Jana:
Marie – ok, here’s the scoop!
I preordered the CD – never done anything like this before!! Yes, the men in the white coats can come and take me away very soon, but I told my other “non” IV fan “not until after their concert…” lol!
I actually paid the extra amount for express shipping.
Now, the COOL thing about this, is that if you have an Amazon account in the US – it’s apparently GLOBAL! Didn’t think it would work, but I put my email address in and my password, and there popped the site and said “Ciao, Jana!” J
There were a few things I did not understand, but I popped them on the translator site. (I’m using this one:http://www.freetranslation.com/en/translate-english-italian ) Most of it I could figure out! Ok, so the CD itself was 8,20 Euros, which is probably about $10 and then another – (oh Lord!) $25 for express shipping!! Ok, once in a lifetime thing here!! Per the note below, I am supposed to receive it by Feb 27, which will be perfect because I am planning an Il Volo party with a few friends on Feb 28! J
Not sure how you want to post this – but I think many will be interested. Regular shipping was like 10-12 days, and 6-8? Can’t remember…. I charged it to my credit card, as opposed to my debit card, in case there were any issues….
Here again is the website: http://www.amazon.it/Sanremo-Grande-Amore-Il-Volo/dp/B00SI7OCWO/ref=sr_1_14/280-5488729-5578467?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1422502519&sr=1-14&keywords=il+volo
Since I have your number, I will CALL you when I get it. lol! Maybe we can have a Skype party with the Flight Crew? If I don’t get it by Feb 28, I will call you, too. L
Jana
OK – all signed up – getting posts…. Donna
I think I ordered it …..18,20 Euros, whatever that means. Time will tell. Thanks for the update. Now for the wait.
I’m sorry, but I don’t read or understand Italian, so I am completely at sea. Can someone please help me out?
I don’t either Allene but I have an amazon account. Ill try it. fingers crossed. Joanie g
were you ladies able to figure out how to order it?
I have an Amazon account, so I just clicked on the link you provided and got to Amazon Italy. The page looks exactly like the one in English and it works the same way. I pre-ordered the CD without any trouble – if you already have an Amazon account, all your information (e-mail, password, credit card, etc) is already there, so you don’t have to add anything. The cost to me, including shipping, is 22 Euros, but I imagine that is because the shipping costs from Italy are less (I am in Israel, not in the U.S.). Try it! It works!
Allene, go to Amazon and type the name of the CD and it’s there to pre-order.
Allene, I changed it! I thought It was in English. My computer automatically translates. Can you right click on a foreign language piece and have the option to “translate to English”?
How exciting! Please pardon my ignorance on the subject, but why are they in China? I searched around a bit but I’m still a little confused. I’m sure the fan base there is delighted.
No real explanations have been given. Etihad has flights there and Armani has a flagship store there. All we know is they were asked to participate as a guest in a Music Festival similar to San Remo also celebrating Chinese New Year. If that makes any sense!?
I had by daughter (the one that does not care about IL Volo) preorder the CD “Sanremo Grande Amore”. She paid 18.20 EUR with regular shipping. Was confirmed and shipping date March 10-12. She said when she signed into Amazon that on the upper right corner something popped up and asked if she wanted this translated. She did and it translated the whole page.
She was using “Google Crome”? All this is beyond me. Takes a while for me to figure it out so I ask my daughters. I am sure that the US Amazon will have them sometime soon. Wish there was a number we could call and ask them.
I don’t know why we have to buy it from Italy? I have pre-ordered other CD’s from Amazon many times. I have been looking on Amazon everyday, but it is not available yet. Why is Italian Amazon out, but not the American Amazon CD? Any thoughts???
Lauralee you can. I just bought on Amazon.
Now available on US Amazon😄😄
Ok, I don’t want to seem dumb, but would someone tell me if this new CD is our guys singing all of the songs to be done at San Remo this year? Or do we even know exactly what this CD will contain? There is no photo or description of what is on the CD on the Amazon site. Or is this the CD we have all been so patiently waiting for? Is this a Sony produced CD? I will appreciate any info. anyone has here on this topic. Thanks!:-)
“Sanremo Grande Amore” will have 7 songs. Famous past Sanremo songs. They all are very pretty. It will also include their “Grande Amore”. I just posted the above and checked on the money and $18.20 EUR = 20.59 USD
These are the songs that were posted: L’immensita, Piove (Ciao Ciao Bambina),
Vacanze romane, Romantica, Canzone per te, Ancora and Grande Amore. All these songs (except Grande Amore) are on YOUTUBE. I am not an expert on Il Volo information but I read that the CD we all are waiting for will come out later this year. Please do not take my word as final. Maybe our leaders can confirm.
Thank you, Gina! Does Il Volo sing each of these songs or just their own on the CD? Anyone know?
Hi Laura Lee,
I saw this morning on IVMO that all the songs on this CD are sung by Il Volo, not only their songs. We really have something to look forward to!
Thank you! Can’t wait!!
Another thought – does anyone know when the virtual song with the boys and Elvis will come out?? Thank you!
I have another question: Has anyone found an EASY way to order this latest CD?
I think I will wait for a while until I find out more information! if Il Volo are only singing 1or 2 songs on this EP, then maybe their real long playing Cd later on will have these 2 plus more. I am not pre-ordering this from Italy, I can wait until Amazon US has it and then see if I want it or if I will wait for the next one. I don’t really want a cd with 5 songs sung by others and only 2 by my boys. it’s their voices I want to listen to every day, if I want to hear the others I can listen on You-Tube.
Deanne, I think I’m going that way too. I’m not so excited about having the “other” cuts. It may be possible to just buy the individual songs.
I tried ordering the CD on the Italian version of Amazon and didn’t know exactly what it was saying. I was just clicking buttons and didn’t want to order something for $1,000 so I went to the English version to see if they had the CD and they do have it to pre-order for $20.99 and so I bought the CD. Our family has Amazon Prime so when the CD becomes available we receive it in 2 days. YES!!!
Sorry, Just can’t wait to listen to it.

I purchased the Italian Amazon CD and then I found it on US Amazon. There was a new CD called the Platinum Collection and it is releasing on February 15. I found it Italian and US Amazon. It wasn’t on Amazon on Friday, so I wanted to let everyone know. I don’t know the list of songs in this CD. It is $42.00 for this CD. I purchased both Grande Amore and The Platinum Collection via Italian Amazon and it was a lot cheaper. Both of them were $39.08. The US Amazon was $63.00 for two of them. I used standard shipping, so it was free. They should be here by March 12-15. The Platinum Collection CD might be all of their hits. I don’t know, but the price is high, so I hope there are lots of songs. Just an FYI . . . . .
Just so all of you will know, I looked on Amazon.It and also on Amazon.com – both of them have the Platinum Collection, and both of them state that this is a 3-disk album. There was no list of songs posted – maybe they will have one after the album issues (I thought it issues on February 12 but you say it’s February 15). But it definitely is 3 disks. Lots of songs, for sure! Isn’t that lovely?
It seems to me that this is just Sony’s way of cashing in on their earlier success. I have 3, yes, three We are Love CDs that all have one or two songs different. I also have the DVD of Detroit PBS, Il Volo CD, and the Spanish ones. I don’t see any reason to spend the money for this. It is three CDs most of us have already!
I AGREE 100%. I ALSO HAVE ALL THOSE ALBUMS.
I did some Googling and I found out that The Platinum Collection is a three disc CD. They are Il Volo (2010) – 12 songs, We Are Love (2012) – 12 songs, and the Il Volo Takes Flight concert at the Detroit Opera House – 15 songs. None of the songs are new, but it is a nice compilation of music. And, of course, the pictures are wonderful. Just wanted to let everyone know.
Thank you Laura for the information. Now I can tell my niece in New Zealand to order this collection, very convenience for a newcomer of Il Volo. I introduced her to Il Volo about two months ago while she visited me here in the States. She listened to them on the whole trip – at my home and in my car. I am glad she likes it because she basically had no other choices because that’s all I played, lol.
I just pre-ordered the CD from regular Amazon (not Italy). Amazon stated title was to be released February 24. I am a Prime member so no shipping charge. The CD is more expensive, about $21.00 + tax. Will be interesting to see which location ships first or if both are sent at the same time. I hope they did not record “Old MacDonald Had a Farm”. 🐽🐥🐮🐷🐤😄😄😀
