Vie, Voyage Vocal De La France À L’Italie – Federico Longhi

Vie, come Vita and come Vie, because this splendid record by baritone Federico Longhi talks about both where he explores French chamber vocal literature, with its numerous interpreters (Hahn, Gounod, Massenet and many others) and Italian (with the only significant presence of Tosti). The intent is not to propose comparisons but to trace a path, showing the two repertoire both in their innate peculiarities and in the profound stylistic differences that exist also and above all within the styles of the authors themselves.
