Adagio is an italian word, that means "Slowly". This is also used in music to define the pace of a music (a bit slow, between lento and andante) and also as a name of a piece of a sonata, concerto or symphony that is using that specific pace. The music from this song of Lara Fabian is a pop translation of an italian classic piece called "Albinoni's Adagio". It was written in 1958 by Remo Giazotto who was an admirer of Albinoni, a musician from the 17th/18th century. He claimed it was from him and gave his music this name but there is consensus today that he most probably has composed it himself. The classic music piece is globally famous and there were many different translations into different songs, with different music compositions, mostly operatic, and different lyrics (the band Renaissance, Daniele Licari, Sarah Brightman and Sissel Kyrkjebo for instance). But the most famous version, by far, is Lara’s version: it was translated into a pop song for her, she wrote lyrics in italian then co-wrote the english lyrics for it and is the original performer of these 2 versions. She kept the title Adagio and wrote a story with a double meaning: a woman that is awaiting to find her love / an artist that is awaiting the god of inspiration. This song has become a classic and has been covered by many : Shirley Bassey (!!), Dimash (Lara is his absolute idol and he covered several of her songs), Floor Jansen, Polina Gagarina, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Julie Anne San Jose, Giulia Falcone, Laura Bretan, Il Divo, Rimar, Vitas, Anastasia Luna, Evgenia Fanfara, , … They made great covers but none of these match the amazing storytelling performance of Lara, or her ability to use vocal subtleties to be in sync with the music, exposed in her live from the concert From Lara with Love. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNefhpB8tLK6j2g.html Her italian version is also amazing. A famous italian version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8xnq8Z-s5O4iX0.html Or you can check her recent excellent rendition in Paris early october 2022 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNucmtt6kp7emmg.html

Laura Bretan has made many covers of Lara Fabian. Her music director, Giora Linenberg, was a former pianist of Lara in many of her tours. Lara and Laura even sang this song in duet a couple weeks ago in Bucarest, with Giora playing piano.

SUPER !!! 👌❤

Superb review…I cry all the time when I hear here…her voice is celestial in the literal sense

She possesses two very fine voices. One is sweet and and very beautiful, but then there is 'The Beast' when when she needs to really let loose. The reason she uses it sparingly is that she developed some problems with her vocal apparatus. So she uses it only when necessary.

Szuper gyönyörű előadás, gratulálok. ❤

👏👏👏

N'hésitez pas de regarder aussi "After the rain", la dernière chanson de Laura Bretan. ❤️🎶

J'ai mis un pouce parce que Laura a une voix exceptionnelle mais Lara a trop marqué cette chanson avec sa voix et sa façon de transmettre son émotion, qui est pour moi inégalable. J'ai vu récemment le concert où Laura et Lara on chanté cette chanson en duo. Effectivement Laura a surpassé Lara vocalement au niveau de la puissance. Laura est encore jeune et c'est un exploit pour Lara de pouvoir encore chanter ce type de chanson aussi exigente vocalement, surtout qu'elle venait de sortir de plusieurs mois de concert... Il faut que j'en apprenne un peu plus de Laura mais Lara, pour moi reste ma préférée

❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏

Superb! Talent și muncă! Succes deplin în viitor!❤❤❤

Laura is unique! We have a better version/sound at: "Laura Bretan - Adagio [Official Video]" It is a must watch!
