Torna a surriento - Luciano Pavarotti - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Torna a surriento" is a traditional Neapolitan song written in 1894 by composer Ernesto De Curtis and lyricist Giambattista De Curtis. Even though the track was recorded by the likes of Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, and Frank Sinatra, "Torna a surriento" was further immortalized by Luciano Pavarotti's rendition, released as a single alongside "'O sole mio" in 1979. Inspired by the picturesque landscape of Sorrento, a coastal town in southwestern Italy, it was initially presented as a homage to Prime Minister Giuseppe Zanardelli during his 1902 visit. The song was officially copyrighted in 1905, joining other beloved traditional pieces like "'O sole mio" and "Santa Lucia" as a staple of Neapolitan music. Beyond a mere tourist serenade, "Torna a Surriento" encapsulates a deep-rooted love for one's homeland, blending poignant lyrics with a melodious embrace of Sorrento's scenic marvels and cultural pride.
