Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars There never was another voice like Schipa's.......2004-08-21

Schipa was not the finest tenor ever to sing, or the most stentorian. But Schipa had a charm and grace to his voice that is unique. This CD captures him in some of his most beloved repetoire, the Neapolitan Song. No one, and I mean no one sings Tosti's 'A Vucchella' like Schipa. Prima Voce has done us a wonderful service in making these recordings available. You simply cannot go wrong with this CD. Schipa e una voce molto bella!!

5 out of 5 stars I would like to kiss you.......2001-12-05

Admirers of the incomparable tenor Tito Schipa will not want to be without this CD. No less than 24 Neapolitan songs Schipa recorded between 1925 and 1938 are included. Transfers have been made from clean, faultless 78 originals, some of them very rare. Schipa's voice seems to emerge successfully from the special Nimbus transferring process. The result is 78 minutes of pure Mediterranean magic.

True Neapolitans might challenge the word 'pure' in my last sentence. Schipa was not himself a Neapolitan. He came from Lecce in south Italy, and grew up speaking a different dialect. Nevertheless he seems to me to be the ideal presenter of these romantic little songs, most of which start in the minor and then change into the major key. A long-time favourite of mine is his recording of "I' te vurria vasa'", a song by Di Capua. The only other transfer of it, available on CD, derives from a sadly worn copy. Here, it comes up pristine and perfect. The title means 'I would like to kiss you'.

The enclosed booklet includes photographs, full details of the recordings, a fine appreciation of the singer by Nigel Douglas, and a brief synopsis of each song.
