Songs by Tosti. Members of the London Symphony Orchestra. Texts and translations. Deutsche Grammophon 4715572
The songs of Francesco Paolo Tosti (1846-1916) make their way onto the recital platform now and then, mainly as encores, because they are beautifully written for the voice, and, while the texts are not of the highest order, the songs are appealing and effective when delivered without artifice. While not a stage person himself, the Abruzzi-born Tosti ruled the drawing room as singer, accompanist and composer. After moving to London in 1880, he was much sought-after as a party guest and singing teacher (especially after landing the job as vocal coach to Queen Victoria's children).
Entire recitals of Tosti's music are few. My favorite is an out-of-print 1980 collection by Jose Carreras on Philips with Edoardo Muller conducting the English Chamber Orchestra. Carreras also has a recital of Tosti songs in their original piano versions on Elektra/Asylum 15516, and Carlo Bergonzi's concert, also with Muller (Orfeo 73831), is exquisite.
