Giuseppe De Stefano was perhaps the greatest tenor of Italian lyrical opera in our lifetime--at least for many of us who were already around in the 1950's and 60's. Yes, he was so for only a brief time. He apparently lived la dolce vita and abused his voice. But fortunately, he came to prominence when Angel Records was producing extraordinarily high quality recordings, and many of his performances in the studio were created and preserved. These include his historic operatic performances with Maria Callas which have long since been digitized and converted to cd's. Among others, the TOSCA and LA BOHEME performances are mindbogglingly magnificent. Indeed, whenever I've played these for friends over the years, they always ask about the tenor--i.e., Di Stefano--and rate his performances as the most extraordinary they have ever heard. In any event, as his operatic voice was in early decline in the mid 60's, he began to record traditional Italian love songs--both Neapolitan and Sicilian. (He was Sicilian, and included several gorgeous songs from Sicily in his albums. I'm Sicilian-American, so I'm partial to these.) The depth of feeling, emotion, loss, anguish, regret, reminiscence, love, euphoria (Maybe a bit manic-depressive here!), together with his gloriously virile yet exquisite vocal instrument and fervor make this collection a virtually certain favorite for anyone who appreciates (as in loves) this universal, eternal music that speaks directly to the human soul. OK, I'm getting carried away--only a bit actually. Because these songs (e.g., CATARI, ADDIO SOGNI DI GLORIA, PUSILLECO, A CANZONE'E NAPULE, etc., etc.)+ Di Stefano + the lush orchestrations make these performances rivals of the Di Stefano + Callas operas. In other words, it just doesn't get better than this. Review: The beauty of Italy and Sicily in Song! - This collection of recordings "Pippo" made are an expression of love and heartfelt emotion! With the lush orchestrations and impeccable Italianate sound and impeccable Italianate diction one really gets to discover the beauty of this more popular classic music. The Sicialian songs, his native language, are seldom heard and are quite a treat! In the great tradition of Carus, Gigli, Schipa, Tagliavinni and many others but captured at a time when recording had reached very good quality! I cannot recommend these recording enough! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000025WWN | | Best Sellers Rank | #76,627 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #1,961 in Opera & Vocal (CDs & Vinyl) #3,880 in Vocal Pop (CDs & Vinyl) #6,430 in Classical (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (32) | | Date First Available | February 13, 2007 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 028945548227 | | Label | Decca (Polygram Int'l) | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Decca (Polygram Int'l) | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2003 | | Product Dimensions | 4.88 x 5.59 x 0.51 inches; 3.95 ounces | ## Images ![Giuseppe Di Stefano - Torna a Surriento Songs of Italy & Sicily - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Be7mRsR1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These Songs + Di Stefano: Doesn't Get Better Than That *by C***N on February 9, 2011* The 2 collections in this set are classics, and for good reason.
