Recorded in 1977 and 1979, this fabulous recital of Favourite Neapolitan songs is one of Luciano Pavarotti’s twelve original studio albums made during the course of his unparalleled career. Luciano Pavarotti presents here a captivating anthology of the Neapolitan song with all their beautiful melodies embodying the themes of love and passion so often associated with Naples. An aria linked inextricably to Pavarotti, 'O sole mio,' with its universal appeal, is coupled with 'Maria, Mari!' by Di Capua, 'Turna a surriento' by de Curtis and 'A vucchella' by Tosti, a setting of a poem by the famous Gabriele D’Annunzio.
