Title: Could be better
Review: The reason why Northern Italian "music" isn't included on compliations such as this is because it's not as beautiful as the music of Napoli. If not for Napoli, Italian music as we know it would not exist."Gloria" was an attempt to Americanize Italian music. It was a hit in Italy (with the late American pop singer Laura Branigan remaking the song in the early-80's) as it was in the States and around the rest of the world. Other than that, I'm not into current Italian music as it lacks the life that traditional songs do.Yeah, Milan, we descendents of Southern Italians do like singing Funiculi Funicula, Santa Lucia, and all those other songs of Napoli because that's what music is all about. Venice tried introducing some of their regional music a few years back (giving background music while rowing people around on the gondolas) and people were not only bored to tears but they requested the Neopolitan songs. Speaks volumes. (And don't forget, Milan, that the majority of the people living in that city are either from Southern Italy or have Southern Italian ancestry, including the mayor).There are better compliations out there but this is pretty enjoyable.Coming from a descendent of Calabrese and Neopolitan immigrants: While the North may have the money, the South has the culture.

Title: A real italian says...
Review: I have lived in the United States since 1994 and several times I have remained highly disappointed at the stereotypes perpetually injected into my culture. Us Italians are nothing like they are described here... even though we like good food and down south they sing Funiculi' Funicula', that's not all we are about. Even though I haven't purchased this CD I know all of its songs and believe that it is paramount to know that italian music includes modern songs such as Gloria. I give it 4 stars though, because it should have more than just napoli songs... the modern songs are good, but what about the north?

Title: don't be misled!
Review: There is no information on the CD about the artistand as near as I can tell none of these tracks feature the artist who made them famous. For example, J'attendrai was sung by Dalida but on this CD it is an instrumental! Buyer beware.

Title: Poor cover versions
Review: Some of the most popular known French chansons are better known by their famous and fantastic cover versions. "La vie en rose" has seen some beautiful ones - but here I found a collection of the worst covers I've ever heard. "Et maintenant" needs Gilbert Becaud and not a heartless "dub-di-dub-dub ..." I'm just thankful that my copy of this album came from the local library and I didn't spend a dime on it.

Review: Zur Information: Diese CD enthält weder Originalaufnahmen noch Rerecordings mit Originalkünstlern. Es sind deshalb auch keine Künstler aufgeführt. Die modernen Aufnahmen mit Anonymous lassen das Italian Flair vermissen, welches bei solchen Titeln eigentlich erwartet wird. Da Amazon sich in der Beschreibung nur auf die Titel festlegt, ist die Präsentation des Angebotes jedoch korrekt.
