"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever. It````s one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you````re on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances," said Botti of his latest album.
