Thanks for posting such a beauty. Wonderful Reynaldo Hahn, also wonderful Souzay&Baldwin. It has been a great time listening!!

[EdmundStAustell]

Magnificent! Was there ever a finer, more elegant singer?

[BazzasBest]

Wonderful voiceand interpretation. A measure of the esteem in which Souzay is held by his fellow professionals is the fact that Thomas Quasthoff has him as one of his "Desert Island Discs. Thomas was interviewed on the program a couple of years ago.

Mesmerizing in its beauty- what artistry, Souzay was one of the greatest in the art of song, and had a gorgeous voice.

@RoyKa2010 - So pleased to hear your reaction! I was having dinner with some friends and somehow the topic came to what music would you like to hear in the last moments on life on this planet (what a subject!) Well, certainly this rendition of this ravishing song is in the running for me! Thanks to einalemland for posting this gorgeous experience! Happy listening to you!

La note è bella, Fa presto, o Ninetta, Andemo in barchetta I freschi a ciapar! A Toni g'ho dito Ch'el felze el ne cava Per goder sta bava Che supia dal mar. Che gusto contarsela Soleti in laguna, E al chiaro de luna Sentirse a vogar! Ti pol de la ventola Far senza, o mia cara, Chè zefiri a gara Te vol sventolar. Se gh'è tra de lori Chi troppo indiscreto Volesse da pèto El velo strapar, No bada a ste frotole, Soleti za semo E Toni el so' remo Lè a tento a menar.

E 'stato un grande cantante, con una grande disciplina musicale, ogni giorno sentiamo, capire di più sulla musica, un grande compositore Hahn, bravo
