Description
This CD showcases Lanza's mastery of multiple musical genres from popular tunes to operetta, Neapolitan song & arias.
Like its immediate predecessor, the equally enchanting Poetry and Passion (SEPIA 1319), this compilation showcases Lanza's mastery of multiple musical genres. Beginning with English-language selections, the tenor offers effortlessly idiomatic renditions of nine songs ranging from popular ballads of the 1950s to 19th century operetta. He then ventures into classic Neapolitan and Italian song before alighting in the world of opera for four arias and a soaring duet. Rarities abound throughout, including two live performances that are models of intelligent operatic singing.
The bonus tracks section offers additional rarities, including a thrilling outtake of 'Vesti la giubba,' amid further evidence of Lanza's effortless versatility, as he traverses the musical terrain of everything from a British song cycle excerpt, set to the attributed words of a 12th century Persian poet, to a suitably noisy German drinking song.
