Even the Neapolitans concede, and they do so readily and with exuberant pride, that their songs belong not to Naples alone but tot the world. Many translations of these popular melodies exist in formal Italian, English, German, Swedish, Russian, Hebrew, Japanese, etc., but they sound most expressive whn performed in the rich, vibrant dialect of Naples, a language Italians from other regions must bend an ear to understand. These are commercial songs with roots in folk music. Over the years, however, many have become classics. Neapolitan songs have been performed by many of the foremost operatic artists of the century, especially tenors. This is Pavarotti's first recording of Neapolitan songs. Luciano Pavarotti the Bologna Orchestra won the Grammy Best Classical Vocal Solo for O Sole Mio ? Favorite Neapolitan Songs.
