The Sound of Naples The daily newspaper "Le Monde" has already described Pene Pati as a singer with a voice "full of sunshine". Perfect prospects for a Serenata a Napoli then, as the Samoan tenor presents it on his new album of the same name - after two brilliant discographic excursions through Italian and French opera, a spicy foray into the tradition of the Neapolitan song, which has exported famous catchy tunes all over the world since the end of the 19th century with hits such as "O sole mio" and "Funiculi, funicolà". Eduardo Capua, Paolo Tosti and Luigi Denza are just some of the authors of famous hymns to the South Italian joie de vivre, but also lesser-known, sometimes cheerful, sometimes melancholic, but no less authentic songs on this release. The performance, in which Pene Pati is accompanied by the typical Neapolitan ensemble Il Pomo d'Oro, is also authentic. "I have approached these songs in the same way as the traditional songs from my own Samoan heritage," says the top tenor about the programme, which focuses on themes such as love, family and home. Pene Pati has made it his most important task to bring the stories behind the music to life, to capture the rhythms, the flavours and the diversity of emotionality. With Serenata a Napoli, he follows in the footsteps of another great tenor who was able to interpret the songs of his birthplace Naples just as inimitably as his contemporary colleague: Enrico Caruso.
