Jonas Kaufmann - Dolce Vita

Italy! Like nowhere else on earth – the sunshine and sea salt, the smell of citrus and coffee, a flirtatious glance, an incomparable song drawn deep from the heart. Italy and its immortal music have a magical pull on people like no other culture – and Jonas Kaufmann feels this particularly keenly. The new album Dolce Vita is his tribute to this culture, this way of life that has conceived one immortal melody after the other for the tenor voice. The album features 18 tracks including 'Caruso' (Lucio Dalla), 'Mattinata' (Leoncavallo), 'Parla Più Piano' (Nino Rota), 'Torna a Surriento', 'Volare' (Modugno), 'Con te partirò' (Sartori) and 'Il Libro Dell'Amore' (Stephin Merritt / Zucchero). Recorded at Teatro Massimo di Palermo with the Orchestra del Teatro Massimo di Palermo conducted by Asher Fisch; mixed by Nick Patrick; mastered at Metropolis Mastering.
