This new album of Italian baritone Vittorio Prato is dedicated to the music of Francesco Paolo Tosti - one of the most famous composers of the late  XIXth century. 

​

His English songs, written in London on English verses, were extremely popular and sung not only in the drawing rooms of Queen Victoria, where Tosti was a singing master to the Royal Family, but all over the world. 

​

This unique collection, accompanied on the piano by illustrious Vincenzo Scalera, is enriched with the personal story of Vittorio Prato where he reflects on becoming an Artist, on his path in the world of music and on subtle parallels with Tosti’s own career that inspired him to create this album.
