From the stage of La Scala Milan to the harbor if. Palermo, music has poured out of Italy
like water from the celebrated fountains of Rome. Few countries have welcomed the warming
rain of Italian song as enthusiastically as America. And why not? Americans love melody,
and Italians compose melodies as if they owned the copyright.
And now the very essence of this lovely Mediterranean country is yours in a single album.
Direct from the streets of Naples and moonlit canals of Venice comes a wealth of song, the
music Italians enjoy everyday.
The arrangements are instrumental, but so well does each tune catch the flavor of a
different emotion that words are unnecessary. Listen to the traditional Cara Mia and, in
a moment, you can imagine the quiet street at night, the sudden burst of song, the girl
peering from behind the curtains hoping to catch a glimpse of the young man who stared at
her so boldly in the market place earlier in the day.
Or, perhaps, there is a festival in progress on Capri. A spray of fireworks lights the
sky. In a moment Non Dimenticar is taken up by the crowd, a rocketing tune full of
carefree abandon.
And for Italian and American alike, few melodies say "goodbye" as well as the hauntingly
beautiful Arriverderci Roma.
Here it is then, an armchair tour of the best of Italy. To book passage, simply place
this record on your turntable. Then sit back and bask in the warmth of music that
captures the sun, the sea, the very soul of Italy.
