Jonas Kaufmann - My Italy

JONAS KAUFMANN – MY ITALY is a combination of road movie and concert with Italy’s “adopted tenor-son.” Ever since he first went on holiday there with his family, Italy has been “the land of longing” for Kaufmann. This lush special documents Kaufmann’s special affinity with the Italian language, its way of life and its culture – and also, of course, its music. Viewers will savor tenor hits from Enrico Caruso to Lucio Dalla. Accompanied by the Orchestra della RAI Torino under the direction of Jochen Rieder, Kaufmann sings popular numbers that include “Torna a Surriento,” “Cor ‘ngrato,” “Mattinata,” “Caruso” and “Il canto.” The music recordings were made in the Teatro Carignano in Turin.
