This is the third and penultimate instalment of a huge enterprise, a world premiere: the recording of the complete songs by Tosti! • Paolo Tosti (1846-1916) worked in poverty as a music teacher till he met the influential composer Giovanni Sgambati, who became his mentor. He introduced Tosti to Princess Margherita of Savoy, who became later queen of Italy. She was impressed by him and appointed him as royal music teacher. In 1875 Tosti went to London where his fame spread, and he was made Singing Master of the Royal family. • Tosti is known for his vast quantity of light, expressive songs, which are characterised by natural, singable melodies of a charming and sweet sentiment. They became immensely popular and Tosti made a fortune with them. • This new project is produced by the Tosti Institute in Italy, presenting an impressive line of excellent Italian singers: Delphine Da Pontello, Marco Severin, Daniela Mazzucato, Max René Cosotti, Giulia De Blasis, Alessandro Luciano. The pianists are Marco Moresco, Marco Scolastra and Isabella Crisante.
