SHARE THE MAGIC of Italian song with
Jonas Kaufmann as he shows us both on and

music.
“ITALIANS LOVE TO SING. They sing in
the street. They sing while they go about their
business. It is not just a cliché—in Italy, you

see grown-up men just singing while they work, because they want to
somehow express their feelings. Music is not only to make you smile,
music is to make you think, and sometimes to understand that you're not
the only one carrying great problems with you. By expressing that in a
song, you can better live with it, because somebody found the right
words, the right way to express what you're feeling at that moment. The
songs on this album show the whole range of emotions that Italian
music is capable of, just like in opera…”
