5 out of 5 stars First and His Best.......2004-08-16

Sergio Franchi's much too short career started with a bang with this album. I have quite a few of his albums on vinyl, but didn't have this one. What I was missing, but now enjoy is Sergio singing beautiful Italian songs with fabulous phrasing, power and passion. Like most singers in his era, he was forced in later years to sing material that wasn't up to his level of talent. Not on this one, and aren't we glad it's on cd. Bravo Sergio!

5 out of 5 stars A must have vocal CD.......2003-08-05

This is a must have CD for all lovers of the vocal art. For those who have only recently come to vocal music by way of Bocelli, Amante or Watson listen to this man and be amazed. Franchi sings circles around these contemporary wannabies. His vocal color, phrasing, legato and above all attention to the lyrics put him in a class by himself. This was his recorded intoduction to America, I bought it as an LP when it first came out. It was and is a vocal find. The sound is still first rate and the performance is wonderful. Now all BMG has to do is release his Broadway I Love You album LSC 2674 and we'll have the best of Sergio on CD.

5 out of 5 stars great voice, beautiful singing.......1999-07-29

I grew up listening to this record and I am delighted to find it on CD. For a classical musician, Franchi's voice is a treat, as he has had classical music training, he sings in tune and with the the skill one expects from a great singer, yet he can sing pop music with the ease that it needs. He is a far better singer than Lanza and I would recommend any of his recordings that you can find.

5 out of 5 stars "A Must Have".......1999-03-15

I cannot say enough about Franchi voice. I usually do not like opera, but I believe it is just because I had not heard a voice like this. There are two fast songs (2 and 6), which are most powerful. The slower songs have a depth that I have not witnessed before. Everyone must have this CD in their collection.

4 out of 5 stars Listen more than once.......2001-05-20

Although the quality of the recording is certainly not the best, it is forgiveable, and sometimes gives it a "vintage" feel. The mandolin is what makes this recording so enjoyable. It has an Old World feeling to it.

    4 out of 5 stars A Correction.......2001-09-20

    Even though the timing of this CD is listed at over 70 minutes, it is in reality just over 50. Not that this would deter any Schipa aficianados. I prefer the opera recordings, but these later recordings sport surprisingly agreeable sound. Check out the early recordings on Nimbus and I believe Romophone also to see what this great lyric tenor was all about. These recordings, some ten or 15 years past prime show how even more than Gigli he was able to preserve his basic sound through a combination of rest and repertoire. This obscure release contains my favorite version of that (too?) much recorded old saw Core n'grato, here raised to a thing sublime.

    3 out of 5 stars A singer I can listen to all day and night........2001-01-17

    Although born on the southern coast of Italy, this great tenor could sing the popular songs of Naples with style, distinction and in the correct dialect. This CD contains 18 of them and runs for seventy minutes. It is one of those CDs packaged in Italy with a pretty picture on the front of the package, a list of contents on the back, and almost no further information provided. Comparing and checking in my own Schipa records, I can report that the tracks found here were recorded between 1927 and the early 1940s. The four from the 1940s have piano accompaniment. None, of course, was originally in stereo, but the package states "Stereo". The remastering and transfers compare favourably with most others I have checked; all carry some added resonance. Schipa is a singer I can listen to all day and night. Collecting his CD issues involves the duplication of popular items, of course, but I went for this one because it contains four tracks that are new to me, including a song composed by Schipa himself. I hope this information helps prospective buyers.
