Serenade / Instrumental / Down Memory Lane
Serenata Rimpianto is one of the sweetest serenades and best-known work of Enrico Toselli (1883-1926), an Italian pianist and composer who wrote operetta, chamber music, and songs. The lyrics were written by Alfredo Silvestri.
Enjoy the video. Alfredo Kraus, one of the best tenors of the end of the 20th century brilliantly sang the song, with lyrics translated by Margaret Smythe.
Briefly, about the composer. Enrico Toselli, Count of Montignoso, (born March 13, 1883 – died January 15, 1926), was an Italian pianist and composer born in Florence. He studied piano and composition, and embarked on a career as a concert pianist, playing in Italy, European capital cities, Alexandria and North America.
Aside from Serenata "Rimpianto" which is his most popular, his other works include two operettas: La cattiva Francesca (1912) and La principessa bizzarra (1913). However, his fame is mainly derived from his scandalous elopement with the Archduchess Louise of Austria (the former Crown Princess of Saxony, in 1907) rather than his musical ability. His marriage ended in divorce in 1912. They had one son.
