Brow Italiano.......2007-01-10

It is great to have this material to play in any motor vehicle. Most newer vehicles do not have cassette any more. My new Kia Amanti has both a cassette and a CD making all my old favorites possible to play.

Who else, but Buti.......2003-01-18

Among opera singers there is often a role associasted with a singer (for example, Callas/Tosca, Bastianini/Carlo Gerard, Gobi/Scarpia)..But in time others attempt the same role with various degrees of success, and sometimes even unseat the front runner!...Not so with Carlo Buti...there will never be another popular song interpreter like him, who has been imitated but never equaled. Every song in this collection - some of which are very hard to find - is recommended 100% by one who has heard him in person as well as in recordings. Bravo Buti, Bravissimo!

Amazing.......2005-12-07

Being an aspiring tenor I have been researching various music and was looking for different renditions of Nina. After seeing the review "Drown Pavarotti" I ordered the CD. It is magic. I see so many Cd's that talk about the "Three Tenors". After hearing this CD there is only one tenor as far as I am concerned. I listened to Nina first, and it was stunning. I was amazed. It is now my mission to own any and everything this incredible artist has done. If you want to hear a great tenor look no further. This CD is my new favorite and I have a feeling it will be number one for a long time. I just received the CD today and I felt so strongly about this I couldn't wait to post a review.

A must -own.......2005-05-19

I don't think the critics and public knew quite what to make of Richard Tucker's "The Art of Bel Canto," which was released in the 1960s, when the dramatic tenor was in his 50s. Why did this legendary Rodolfo (Luisa Miller) and Canio stop to record "Sebben crudele" and "Danza, danza fanciulla"? The singing, however, is stunning in every way. How many dramatic tenors could sing this repertoire with such utterly flawless technique? The heart is there, too, and the orchestrations are ingenious and colorful.

Even today the record execs don't know what to make of this legendary foray into the arie antiche. What were they thinking when they released these 12 exquisite tracks on a repulsive-looking CD entitled "The Soul of Italy"? The stereotypical cover makes Tucker look like a Mafia goon named Guido the Wrench. And the program notes must certainly be one of the most mindless ever to be published on a commercial CD.

No matter, this CD is a must own for all voice teachers and for anyone who THINKS they understand "the technique."

A Great Italian tenor from NY.......2003-09-20

The fascinating biography of Richard Tucker has been well publicized. Somehow, his name keeps dropping out from the various "top ten" lists. Luckily, his vast recorded legacy combined with modern reengineering methods does not allow his name to fade into obscurity. The CD at hand combines two albums originally issues as LPs - "The Soul of Italy" and "The Art of Bel Canto". There are 12 songs from each album, allowing for generous helping of Neapolitan Songs from the former and 18th century Italian composers' songs from the latter. Most of the Neapolitan songs are well known to current public largely thanks to Luciano Pavarotti's two albums "O Sole Mio" and "Passione". While I respectfully disagree with a statement of my fellow reviewer that Pavarotti has "corrupted" the material, I must say that the execution of some of the songs on these albums appeared somewhat detached. Not the case with Tucker. He pours a lot of heart and soul into these songs, easily evoking images usually associated with them (Italian scenery, unrequited love, and big BIG passions). Had I not known that Tucker was born and raised in a Jewish household in Brooklyn NY, I would've surely thought, "this is an Italian singing". This only goes to say that true art knows no geographical boundaries. Tucker's Italian, in fact, is perfect, as several native speakers have told me, and he stresses all the right words. He isn't afraid to allow a bit of a sob or a sigh into his tone, and they do sound authentic, not overdone.
Turning to the Bel Canto part of the CD (tracks 13-24) one is in for a surprise - the singing here is entirely different. Here's why: most of these songs are vocal students' bread and butter, having been published in a well-known Schirmer compilation book "24 Italian Songs and Arias Of The 17th and 18th C." They require simple approach, but utmost care and control of the voice, especially a big voice such as Tucker's. I have no doubt that Tucker has studied these songs in his early years, and he consciously makes them as straightforward as possible, yet infuses each with subtle passion. It has now become somewhat of a trend to rediscover these songs once again. The latest offering is from a wonderful young tenor Ramon Vargas and it's a pleasure to hear that he, just like Tucker does not over-emote on any of these songs and just sings them through as they were meant to be sang. Tucker's tenor voice was exceptionally large. Therefore the singer had to exercise a great deal of control with this repertoire. The result -- quite possibly the best rendition of these songs on record. Regrettably, the well-known "Pieta Signore" is attributed to ... Rossini.
This CD is a must for any fan of good singing. The second half of it is also a good companion for the voice students. Along with "Richard Tucker sings Verdi" and "Welcoming the Sabbath", this disc is a testimony to the talent and personality of one of the greatest singers of the 20th century.

Drown Pavarotti.......2002-10-30

Now that Pavarotti has corrupted an entire generation of tenors with his arch and mannered style, it is good to hear a man who truly sings, a man who will tear your heart out.

It is a pity that Tucker's original disc, "The Art of Bel Canto", has been combined with "The Soul of Italy" and under that title. "Bel Canto" was by far the better album, and because of the title change it is harder to find.

This is an album to be treasured.

Tucker: an Italian tenor from Brooklyn........2002-04-17

Here you'll find Tucker at his best: Glorious voice, ringing, powerful and supple. Faultless singing technique, and an unerring sense of style in this popular, and not so popular, italian repertoire. He is fully idiomatic and musically deligthful. Really a great italian tenor that came from Brooklyn!

This CD is dreadfully under-advertised!!!.......2003-09-19

as a loud music hater, this is thee one and only album that I listen to at a high volumn, for it is just soo good!!! The songs in Fausto Corelli & Mandolin orchestra's "Holiday in italy" are made primarily of strings, but also with a whole lot of other different instrument... so many that me and my dad had been listening to this CD every single day, and even after months, we are still picking up a new instrument. Unlike most modern orchestra who like to show off different components of their orchestra at different parts of the song, Fausto Corelli & Mandolin does not do that, the entire orchetra perform in such unisen, it's just soooo beautiful to play this album aloud to make our room/car/whatever enviroment turn into an orchestra hall.

songs ranges from romantic...delightful....lively...melochonic...(sorry...my english is so limited...I ran out of adjectives). This is the very album that changed my standard of what is good,
it is also the album that my dad used to teach me about different musical instrument, it is also one of very few albums that I actually like every single track contained, and for this album, I absolutely love every single track.

This was my grandfather's favourite album, my Dad's favourite album, My favourite album, and surely I will share it with my future children (note: we own the old version of this album (PolyGram Company copyright 1961 Polydor GmbH. Hamburg)

since we have the old version of this CD, we only have 12 tracts, and the tracts are at different order to that of the new (more correctly: re-released) version of this album. (eg. our tract 7 is Torna a sorrento, while their tract seven is reginella campagnola) and quite unfortunatly...our Windows media player when collecting album information from the net; has messed up the names of all our tracks!!... also, since we have the old version of this album... our CD jewel case was long lost(decades ago?...long before I was born), and also since I do not speak italian, I am now unable to tell the names of the tracts :( - so I can only review on those that I do know the names of

Funicili-Funicula: This is one of those livelier songs....I usually hate lively songs...at the moment, this track is the only exception

Torna-a sorrento (return to sorrento): a melochonic-romantic track....the best part of this track is when the string ensemble mimiced the motion of waves

Santa Lucia - as a lover of soft music , this is my favourite tract. from this song, my father taught me how to listen for Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass. This song is primarily of strings... there are many parts to this tract, it track begins beautifully with the four components in unisen...and for the first time ever...I actually liked the sound of bass. the violin solo was so beautiful, you must listen to it yourself... and in other parts, the Ensemble once again mimic wave motion, and also a 'ripple' motions of water...

I must say, I really love this album, I highly recogmend it, dont base your judgment on the sample clips... the sample clips are good but they are only short clips of the entire songs, where the moods changes thought each songs.

Like I said...ths CD is dreadfully underadvertised...I find it sad that most people do not know of this CD..yet I cant blame this...it is quite tricky to search a "holiday in italy" from the net as you'd probably end up with travel sites in your search results....
