French lutenist Florent Marie presents a collection of solo lute works by Giovanni Antonio Terzi (fl. 1580-1600). Terzi was a composer addressing modernity, as well as being a true European. The purpose of this recording is to try and supplement previous ones by emphasizing Terzi’s solo pieces, whose variety and quality have hardly been explored up to now. Music has always played an important part in Florent’s family. Singing polyphonic music and having a lute-making father - who built most of his instruments - probably explains why he chose to devote himself to the lute family.

The years between the advent of rock and roll and the coming of the Beatles, 1955 to 1962, were some of the most glorious in the history of popular music, and, in America, major stars were created and everlasting songs written. It is fascinating to play 100 Italian Hits and hear what was happening in Italy at the same time. This collection contains 100 romantic singles, all of which made the Italian charts and many of which also became international successes, sometimes in the original Italian, but other times with English lyrics. The contents are likely to be very familiar to you.

This time it has become Italy. Italiano! offers the Italian song from Caruso to Conte & from Naples to San Remo. Many Dutch artists have their hits in Italy, such as Marco Borsato's De Most Dreams His Bedrog, originally performed by Ricardo Fogli under the title Di Tutti i Giorni. There are also Italian songs sung by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
