Sogno (English: Dream) is the fifth studio album by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.

The album sold 2.5 million copies in the United States,[2] and over 10 million copies worldwide.[3] Bocelli was subsequently nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys, the first and so far only time a classical artist had been nominated in the category since 1961.

Release

Sogno was released internationally on April 6, 1999.

The album was released in Spanish under the name Sueño (English: Dream).[4]

In Japan it was released as Yume no Kaori (夢の香り, The Smell of Dreams).[5]

Accolades

In 1999, Bocelli was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys, which marked the first time a classical artist had been nominated in the category in 38 years.

His duet with Celine Dion, "The Prayer," originally appeared as a solo version (for Celine Dion) in the 1998 animated film Quest for Camelot, and won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song as well as being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Commercial performance

Sogno entered the upper reaches of the pop album charts around the world, giving birth to the phenomenon of "Bocellimania".[6]

The album sold 2.5 million copies in America,[2] and over 10 million copies worldwide.[3]
