Search - Alfie Boe :: La Passione

2011 release from the British tenor. The album conjures up the raw beauty and passion of the Mediterranean. Think sun drenched olive groves, the wild beauty of the Italian coast, 50's vintage and you get close to the evocative force behind La Passione. La Passione features some of the most famous examples, 'O Sole Mio', 'Funiculi Funicula', 'Santa Lucia' and 'Torna a Surriento' but also visits some lesser known but equally valued songs, the wistful 'Feneste Ca Lucive', the intense and beautiful 'Passione' and the playful 'A Vuchella'. 'Caruso' was written in recent years by Lucio Dalle and, though not strictly speaking a Neapolitan song, it tells the story of one of Naples' most famous sons and the haunting lyrics and soaring melody are reminiscent of a Neapolitan classic 'Dicitancell vuje'.
