I have the pleasure of attending Schipas farewell recital in1965 at Geary theatre. What a wonderful pure voice with power. After singing at opera house in the 1920's, he was noted for going to North Beach (SF)& singing all the popular songs in Italian & Spanish too, as he was half Spanish. My uncle heard him in different restaurants. He said Schipa just loved to do this!!!🙏
"A Vucchella"...que bela música...Meu pai Hélio Bernardes Silva sempre pedia para os cantores italianos interpretá-lá quando íamos aos restaurantes italianos e lembro de ver seus olhos brilharem emocionados ao ouvi-la.Saudades destes raros momentos ao lado do meu pai e toda a família ...grandes recordações...
Sì,verdaderamente...su voz era un Gracia del Cielo...su arte,un bendiciòn absoluta...Envidio de corazòn a quienes hayan podido verlo y escucharlo en escena.. ankhsnammon
Am ascultat aceasta bijuterie muz9cala in primul film ,Enrico Caruso in care rolul principal a fost al lui Mario Lanza ,aveam cca.12 ani ,deci acum mult timp .
A voice need not be powerful; the power comes from the ability of the singer to capture the spirit of the song. Schipa excels in every way possible. Let's just sit back and enjoy. You don't hear this kind of singing today.

Hermosas canciones que en mi mente van unidas a mi Madre Santa junto con tantas otras canciones napolitanas escuchadas en la sala de su casa. ..SALUD HASTA EL CIELO X MI MAMITA BELLA !!
I'm doing a wedding this weekend and the great mother is a 95 year young italian woman. So I thought I would surprise her with this video compalation. Best her soul ;-)
Quanno sponta la luna a Marechiare pure li pisce nce fann' a l'ammore, se revotano l'onne de lu mare, pe la priezza cagneno culore quanno sponta la luna a Marechiare. A Marechiare nce sta na fenesta, pe' la passione mia nce tuzzulea, nu carofano adora int'a na testa, passa l'acqua pe sotto e murmuléa, A Marechiare nce sta na fenesta Ah! Ah! A Marechiare, a Marechiare, nce sta na fenesta. Chi dice ca li stelle so lucente nun sape l'uocchie ca tu tiene nfronte. Sti doje stelle li saccio io sulamente. dint'a lu core ne tengo li ponte. Chi dice ca li stelle so lucente? Scetate, Carulì, ca l'aria è doce. quanno maie tanto tiempo aggio aspettato? P'accompagnà li suone cu la voce stasera na chitarra aggio portato. Scetate, Carulì, ca l'aria è doce. Ah! Ah! O scetate, o scetate, scetate, Carulì, ca l'area è doce.
hi!, I didn't know these songs. these napolitanas are very beautiful. I like Tosti's compositions. Schipa is not much known to me, so thank you for sending it to me!! : )
Someone sometimes reminds me of Schipa, although he is no opera singer. It is Fado legend Fernando Machado Soares, whose heartfelt singing is akin to the great Tito's, in a different genre.
Thanks for the tip. Personally, I grew up listening to Schipa as he was a favourite with my elders in Argentina. The most refined of all the tenors, so they said.
Tenors like him (tenore di gracia) don't exist anymore. The technique simply got lost in time. It's a singing that comes from the heart. It requires sensibility and taste that are impossible to spawn in modern times. A pity, because you can find lots of singers with more technique and more powerful voices then Schipa or Gigli, but only them can lift you by the soul.

Spot on. Technique is of course not optional. It is necessary before one can do what is required for art songs. Pop singers need not apply. But technique must serve the song. The role of technique is to enable the singer to express the emotions latent in the lyrics and melody. Otherwise, why bother? For example, a midi version of any song is flawless by any quantifiable measure. Pitch, tempo, whatever. But who the hell wants to listen to it?

Tito Schipa sings Tosti's work, Wow, what else needed!!! All cloudy days turn into fine beautiful times...

Cuando era niña (hoy tengo 67 años) en casa teníamos un disco de 45 rpm en que cantaba dos tangos. Mi padre era fanático de Tito Schipa.
A mi padre también le encantaba Y yo con el....

Magnifico Tito Schipa, splendidi versi, celestiale musica!
Am ascultat aceasta bijuterie muz9cala in primul film ,Enrico Caruso in care rolul principal a fost al lui Mario Lanza ,aveam cca.12 ani ,deci acum mult timp .
Di grandi letterati le rime di S. Di Giacomo e di Gabriele D'Annunzio! Della voce di Tito Schipa, non aggiungo altro, e' bellissima!
Fantastic singing, the slight diminuendo and pianissimi... holy crap! He´s a genius.
Bravo!
Voix magnifique, claire et puissante !
Magnifico Tenor
What wonderful, effortless clarity of tone. And he adds the emotion and passion to these beautiful songs. (And he is handsome in addition).
eccezionale la musica. straordinaria la raffinatezza la semplicit' di espressione di tito stipa, veramente insuperabile.-
CORRECTO, EL MAS GRANDE TENOR DE LA HISTORIA.
No, el Mas Grande es Beniamino Gigli

Buetiful voice shines through
Amore di fanciullezza .... ed ancor più ora, in vecchiaia.
Schipa was in a class of his own. This is how heaven should sound like.
Por Dios! Qué cantantes!
This was a mighty performance. I think, that Tito Scipa understood perfectly the soul of this piece.
Certainly one of the greatest tenors of all time....
There are many good renditions, few the best, very few the very best. Those of Schipa are always among the latter.
grandissimi tesori del passato.sono delle canzoni meragliose e interpreti di prima classe.complimenti.
Una belleza vocal para los oídos.
mi padre la cantaba que hermosa era la vida
Belíssima música é muito motivacional...
Incridibele
Voice and performance like Tito Schipa "will never repeat again never"
Estas voces, estos temas ... son eternos!!! Por siempre
TITO SCHIPA FOREVER WITH ANGELS !!!!
how incredibly beautiful ! I am left with goosebumps , and tears in my eyes ! Why don't people sing like this anymore ?
maravillosa voz

Despues de escuchar èsta musica se entiende porquè el "NAPOLETANO" es Patrimonio de la Humanidad...aunque el maestro Schipa es de otra regiòn.
Quanno sponta la luna a Marechiare
pure li pisce nce fann' a l'ammore,
se revotano l'onne de lu mare,
pe la priezza cagneno culore
quanno sponta la luna a Marechiare.
A Marechiare nce sta na fenesta,
pe' la passione mia nce tuzzulea,
nu carofano adora int'a na testa,
passa l'acqua pe sotto e murmuléa,
A Marechiare nce sta na fenesta
Ah! Ah!
A Marechiare, a Marechiare,
nce sta na fenesta.
Chi dice ca li stelle so lucente
nun sape l'uocchie ca tu tiene nfronte.
Sti doje stelle li saccio io sulamente.
dint'a lu core ne tengo li ponte.
Chi dice ca li stelle so lucente?
Scetate, Carulì, ca l'aria è doce.
quanno maie tanto tiempo aggio aspettato?
P'accompagnà li suone cu la voce
stasera na chitarra aggio portato.
Scetate, Carulì, ca l'aria è doce.
Ah! Ah!
O scetate, o scetate,
scetate, Carulì, ca l'area è doce.

美声歌唱界总有一些伟大的声音，让我们崇拜感动和努力学习
Hermosa voz
Schipa trasciende la definición de tenor.Fué sencillamente el mas grande cantante de la historia.
Era un genio,meravigliosa voce.

Che belle canzone. Viva Napoli
Gracias por estos maravillosos videos. Los he bajado y los escucharé en la paz y el silencio de la noche.

La mejor interpretación de esta composición .. JUNI RUSSO también interpretó espléndidamente esta pieza ...Saludos desde Odessa !
Mi ripeto Schipa e Caruso sono grandissimi unici
E Beniamino Gigli

AWESOME
fantastico!!!!!!!!!
Questa musica ti porta direttamente in Paradiso💖
To Shlomo Hoffert: just sit back and enjoy. I agree completely. This is why we listen to serious music. And
Stupendo!!
Un genio del canto Italiano/Napoletano. Rosa Larsen/Guida
Лучшее исполнение этой композиции.. еще великолепно исполняла эту вещь ДЖУНИ РУССО...

Great comment!

Quanno spónta la luna a Marechiare
Pure li pisce nce fanno a ll'ammore
Se revòtano ll'onne de lu mare
Pe' la priézza cágnano culore
Quanno spónta la luna a Marechiare
A Marechiare ce sta na fenesta
La passiona mia nce tuzzuléa
Nu garofano addora 'int 'a na testa
Passa ll'acqua pe' sotto e murmuléa
A Marechiare nce sta na fenesta
A Marechiare, a Marechiare nce sta na fenesta
Chi dice ca li stelle só lucente
Nun sape st'uocchie ca tu tiene 'nfronte
Sti ddoje stelle li ssaccio i' sulamente
Dint' a lu core ne tengo li ppónte
Chi dice ca li stelle só lucente
Scétate, Carulí, ca ll'aria è doce
Quanno maje tantu tiempo aggi' aspettato
P'accumpagná li suone cu la voce
Stasera na chitarra aggi' purtato
Scétate, Carulí, ca ll'aria è doce
Scétate, ah scétate, scétate Carulí, ca ll'aria è doce

Εὐχαριστῶ πάρα πολύ.
Si!!!!
Tito Schippa foi Grande Tenor tendo inspirado Pavarotti conforme declarou
love you macci bomba
what is with the strange reverb? beautiful singing
I suggest you try Claudio Villa's version. He has less voice yet, but is to my ear much better - sweeter and more expressive. Gigli however was a different kind tenor altogether. Toward the end he sounded a lot like Del Monaco. Really. Gigli was in another category. He was a famous Lohengrin.
....l'aria è doce.....
A Treasure.

Here's a quick translation from a poem by Gabrielle D'Annunzio.
"Yes, you have lips just like a flower's petals, pouting a tiny, a very tiny
bit. Please, give them to me, give them to me, they are like roses, give me
a little kiss, give me one, Cannetella! Give them to me and take mine,
a little kiss, from your rosy lips, which are pouting a tiny, a very tiny
bit."
There is every other Neapolitan song and then there is "Marechiare". There is every other tenor and then there is Schipa.
Em vida
e vero
Gradirei sentire le canzoni Leccesi
Alguien que pueda traducir estas letras al español?
a Schipa lo chiamavano o Carusielle grade interprete dellle canzoni napoletane e non solo u bacio
