Description: You’re not likely to know all of these Neapolitan songs but if you’re a pianophile and particularly into composers having loads of creative fun with popular songs, these written-out “improvisations” should fit the bill; the sort of thing that you might find as an encore piece at the Husum Festival. Antonio Pompa-Baldi (piano).
