Parlami D`amore Mariu`

Chanson 1993 kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Enrico Rava was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Enrico Rava and Chanson 1993 together. Since Enrico Rava last CD (Chanson 1993) on Sparrow Records back in 1993, I have felt a massive void in my life. Exciting stuff. Could be a tango is a bit of a show-tune. Bellflower to me is the best you can get from Enrico Rava. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. What sets Autoritratto apart is Enrico Rava’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Que rest-t-il de nos amours stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. Parlami d’amore mariu is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction.

The most devoted fans of the Three Tenors (José Carreras, Plácido Domingo, and Luciano Pavarotti) may already have the music included in this album of greatest hits taken from their concerts in Rome (1990), Los Angeles (1994), and Paris (1998), but for listeners new to the singers, this disc makes a good introduction. The repertoire is weighted toward the Latinate, featuring primarily popular song and opera excerpts from Italy, Spain, and Latin America, but also included are songs from The Merry Widow, Carousel, Singin' in the Rain, and West Side Story. Most of the music has a strongly Romantic, emotionally charged, lyrical feeling that's enhanced by the lush orchestral arrangements.

Luci e ombre caratterizzano quest'ambizioso progetto della cantante Flora Faja, già docente presso la Scuola Popolare di Musica "The Brass Group" di Palermo, e del pianista Giovanni Mazzarino che ha curato anche le orchestrazioni.
L'idea è stata quella di rivisitare, in forma di medley, alcuni classici della canzone italiana sviluppandone i percorsi tematici con composizioni originali dei due artisti, in un contesto modern mainstream. ~ AllAboutJazz (Sorry, I only found Italian Description)

A magical evening dedicated to beautiful Italian music with the world’s greatest tenor. Captured live for release on CD. Featuring Anita Rachvelishvili. This is the key release this year from “The world’s greatest tenor” (The Telegraph). This summer Jonas presented his most popular Italian repertoire live from Berlin’s outdoor amphitheatre Waldbühne (Forest Stage). Jonas brought the house down with a succession of hits from his extremely popular ‘Dolce Vita’ programme as well as exciting arias and duets (with mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili) from the Italian opera repertoire.
