Most young singers use these songs to learn about singing Italian vowels and legato phrases. Very rarely do we actually get to hear these beautiful songs outside of a studio or academic setting. On In my Heart, Nel Mio Cuore, Mexican tenor, Ramón Vargas returns to the roots or vocal training with a collection of several of these Italian Gems. Vargas gracefully sings these beautiful songs, interpreting them with the skill and mastery of an accomplished artist. Accompanied by a small orchestra, Vargas sings allows us to hear colors and emotion in these songs. He has in-effect dusted off these old war-horses and given us his wonderful interpretations. Ornamentation is stylish and tasteful. In the liner-notes, Vargas reminds us that “I SING BECAUSE I ENJOY IT AND HAVE FUN DOING IT!” Vargas clearly enjoys singing these songs, and therefore we enjoy hearing them as well. Album tracks:
