baritone

"Bel timbro, esemplare scolpitura di dizione, linea morbida e omogenea perché poggiata su di un fiato controllato e proiettato con criterio."

Classic Voice, Elvio Giudici

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.

Testimonial

"It was with great pleasure that I met the Missoni family at "Japan Orfeo", a combination of music by the great Monteverdi and art and traditions from Japan. This production marked my debut in Asia in a leading role, wearing the marvellous Missoni costumes which contributed to the enormous success of this immensely significant event" - stated Vittorio Prato recently.

Missoni's creativity, an indisputable milestone in the realm of luxury knitwear, never ceases to enchant Vittorio. His luggage always contains some of those iconic Missoni Uomo garments which are a perfect representation of naturally sophisticated Italian style, making him one of the brand's highly esteemed ambassadors.

It is their native Puglia which links Vittorio Prato and Sartoria Latorre. Vittorio Prato is proud to be from Lecce, while Michele Latorre and his sons, Vito, Alberto, Luciano and Alessio come from Locorotondo, one of the most enchanting villages in the Valle d'Itria.

Sartoria Latorre was created in 1965 as a small business designing bespoke tailored garments and is still present in Locorotondo where it currently employs around 150 workers, who specialise in creating unique, premium-quality garments. The company has achieved a perfect balance between the manual skills of traditional tailoring and the new, fresh, lively entrepreneurial spirit brought to the company by the second generation. Their perfectly tailored garments are sold in Italy and beyond, in Spain, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Northern Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Japan and China.

Vittorio has chosen to wear Sartoria Latorre, captured by the beautiful fabrics and the great attention to detail. This is a perfect example of Italian-designed clothes appearing with Vittorio on a special occasion: the Rossini 150 concert at the Italian Cultural Institute in Beijing on November 2nd 2018.
