O Sole Mio – Neopolitan Songs: CD

O Sole Mio showcases the Italian singer in an entirely different style: performing a variety of Neapolitan songs, beautifully arranged for voice and orchestra. This recording won the 1980 Grammy Award for Best Classical Solo Vocal Album and the turquoise hues of the original album artwork are now tastefully replicated in the vinyl. The impressive breadth of emotion conveyed on all tracks – from the passionate O Sole Mio to the jovial Funiculì, Funiculà is a treat for listeners new and old.
