I've just discovered Mahler's early lieder, and I'm really enjoying them.

 

I just got to work and my boss sent me this link to "O Sole Mio." Not only a very popular song worldwide since the 19th Century but these boys are just amazing.

BTW, if the melody sounds familiar, that's because Elvis Presley used it for It's Now or Never in 1960.

O Sole Mio Lyrics

Neapolitan lyrics
Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole
n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già na festa
Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole
Ma n'atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne'
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole, 'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!
Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne,
me vene quase 'na malincunia;
sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.
Ma n'atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne'
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole, 'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!

English translation
What a beautiful thing is a sunny day,
The air is serene after a storm
The air's so fresh that it already feels like a celebration
What a beautiful thing is a sunny day
But another sun,
that's brighter still
It's my own sun
that's upon your face!
The sun, my own sun
It's upon your face!
It's upon your face!
When night comes and the sun has gone down,
I almost start feeling melancholy;
I'd stay below your window
When night comes and the sun has gone down.
But another sun,
that's brighter still
It's my own sun
that's upon your face!
The sun, my own sun
It's upon your face!
It's upon your face!

 

I like O Sole Mio, but I can't find a better version than Andrea Bocelli's. But, that's because I love him!

I have this playing

The last classical piece I listened to was Bartok's 2nd Piano Concerto, Mvt. 1, I believe. It is a great piece!
