Known for his passionate delivery and classical training, Boschetto approached the notoriously demanding song with both reverence and risk. From the first delicate piano notes to the climactic vocal summit, his performance built steadily — until it erupted into a finale so powerful, many fans called it the best live cover he has ever given.
Throughout Il Volo’s international tours, Boschetto has consistently impressed with his ability to combine control, emotion, and sheer vocal firepower. But on this night in Florida, he seemed to transcend even his own high standards.
As the final note of “All By Myself” rang through the venue, the audience leapt to its feet in thunderous applause — a standing ovation earned not just for technical brilliance, but for a performance that genuinely moved hearts.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of Il Volo or simply someone who appreciates vocal excellence, Boschetto’s rendition of Dion’s iconic ballad is one for the history books.
Originally written in 1975 by Eric Carmen as the first single from his self-titled debut album, Dion recorded her version in 1996 for her fourth English-language studio album, Falling Into You. Fans widely regard Dion’s version as the definitive “All By Myself,” which shows in the song’s commercial success.
The song quickly climbed up the charts, topping Billboard’s U.S.-based Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks, and reached #4 on the Hot 100.
In 2018, Entertainment Focus declared Dion’s “All By Myself” as having “one of the best recorded vocals ever captured.” The reviewer raved about Dion’s singing, citing an emotional listening experience.
“Listening to Dion reach the highs she does on that song is magical and it sends goosebumps down your spine like nothing else can,” they wrote.
