This Prelude is the first prelude of 48 preludes and fugues known as The Well-Tempered Clavier written by Johann Sebastian Bach. It is one of the most wonderful music works in history
I dedicate this interpretation to my dear friends John and Betsy Crossman.
It is amazing how many beautiful compositions and songs have been written for the Italian movies! Often, the music has become more popular or better known than the films themselves. In the previous post I published my recording of Parlami d’Amore Mariu, a song originally written for the soundtrack of the film “Gli uomini, che Mascalzoni” (The men, scoundrels).
Now I recorded Mamma, a very popular song that was also written for a movie. It was composed in 1940 with music by Cesare Andrea Bixio and lyrics by Bixio Cherubini, for the soundtrack of the film with the same name “Mamma”, directed by Guido Brignone where the main actor Beniamino Gigli interpreted it.
And for my part, I dedicate this interpretation to Delinda Molina, my mother!
