Italian Musical Desserts - Mario Abbate - Indifferentemente

This song is truly a classic in the innately Italian crooner style that prevailed in the Pre-Beatles era. This is one of the earliest renditions performed by The Neapolitan favorite Mario Abbate. The use of the accordion is impeccable and perfectly contrasts Mario's highly musical voice.

A remarkable live version from 1963 in a style perhaps closer to what the composers had in mind.

Italian Musical Desserts - Albano Carrisi - Nessun Dorma

Quite simply the gold standard as far as operatic arias. For me, this song is the pinnacle. About as good as it gets. There is something enchantingly captivating about Pugliese singer Albano's voice. Both musical, passionate, enduring and, above all, uniquely characteristic.
The studio rendition

A curiously rearranged version live from Poland in 2015 is found here

Italian Musical Desserts - Pooh - Preludio

Every once in a while you hear a certain melody that just won't let go. Or even more importantly, you yourself will not permit it to let go. Case in point "Preludio" by the amazing Bolognese band 'I Pooh'. The sumptuousness of the melody oozes all that is good about Italy. See if you do not agree. This glorious tune appears on I Pooh's 70s album entitled 'Un Pò Del Nostro Tempo Migliore' -- A bit of a mouthful. For Music Purists
This last video, despite having a beginning fanfare unrelated to the actual song, has many marvelous evocative images appearing on the album containing the song. Thus it merits inclusion here.


Here is the song in glorious HD Dolby Surround 5.1 {A Delight on Headphones})


Yet another video. But this one is well worth watching as the YouTuber has placed the music to descriptive monthly accompaniments. {Why didn't I think of that ?}
