About
On his second Pentatone album Sogno, tenor Javier Camarena pays tribute to Francesco Paolo Tosti, together with pianist Angel Rodriguez. Camarena and Rodriguez have curated a collection of Tosti's songs that not only include some of his greatest hits but also highlight lesser-known works, including songs in French and English. The songs selected for this album give us an overview of the different facets of Tosti's style. Some are deeply sentimental, exemplified by 'Vorrei morire!' -- one of the composer's most famous pieces -- while others, such as 'Marechiare', draw inspiration from folk traditions. Although Tosti is not often remembered in the history of nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century music, Javier Camarena is inviting us to rediscover the enchanting world of his songs. Javier Camarena stands as one of the preeminent tenors of our time, and Sogno marks his second album following the successful Signor Gaetano (2022). Pianist Angel Rodriguez makes his Pentatone debut.

Awards and reviews
March 2024
Camarena undoubtedly feels an affinity with this repertoire. In the story of Nina in ‘L’ultima canzone’, who is marrying someone else, he artfully blends nonchalance with hints of a broken heart. The French songs are elegantly done too...Rodríguez is an exemplary partner.
March 2024
I quickly warmed to the Mexican’s way with Tosti’s idiom, sensitively, thoughtfully phrased, heroic and impassioned in delivery, even if the top B flat and C are not quite as generous and easy as, say, Bergonzi or Pavarotti (try ‘Aprile’).
