Hello burt! - Bacharach in Italia - 1
In 1958, when Perry Como’s version of Magic Moments climbed to the top of the international charts, the world began to notice Burt Bacharach, a young (age 30) song composer. In a few years, around the mid-1960s, he became established as one of the most prestigious songwriters of successful pieces. His original and elegant compositional style, with widespread appeal, earned him a permanent place in the collective memory. The songs by Bacharach (who especially favoured female vocals and particularly those of Dionne Warwick) had numerous versions in many languages, and in Italy too there were several. Moreover, his arranging style, which exalted subtle but very effective interventions for trumpets, had a great influence on the Italian arrangers of the period, who adopted various stylistic features. This first playlist of his covers in Italian, ranging from 1958 to 1969, convincingly enhances the beauty of his musical writing.
