Francesca Chiejina sings "Già il sole dal gange"

Francesca Chiejina sings "Già il sole dal gange" from ‘24 Italian Songs & Arias,’ the classic Schirmer songbook originally published in 1894. For many singers throughout the world, their journey as a musician and the process of finding one’s artistic voice starts with this songbook.
The ‘24 Italian Songs & Arias (& Voices)’ project explores this starting point and the voices that were developed beyond it. En route to collecting 24 versions of the 24 classics, we are interested in hearing about the journeys of their singers. Some will be stories of success, some of failure, and some of the gloriously messy in-betweens.
We also invite you to submit your own versions and your own stories, demonstrating this shared starting point and its potential far beyond our expectations. We want to know how the journey of singing engages one’s voice - personal, artistic, and political - and how these voices can come together in new and meaningful ways.
Visit 24italiansongs.org to read about the experiences of each performer and submit your own version. #24ItalianSongs

And perfect Italian pronounciation!

This is a voice of the future - so rich and powerful, and still growing out. It is simply thrilling to get to hear her. I will look out for her in the future, for sure.

Well done! Finally, somebody that knows how to sing this song! It’s hard to find a good rendition that isn’t one of the three tenors.

I love how playful and bouncy the staccatos are. Also the dynamic control is insane

[@ludovico6890]

I love discovering new talented sopranos.

The best version of this song on KZbin ... beautiful voice and thankfully not taken at the breakneck speed of some other versions!

[@steensonfamily]

Woah, this woman has a hell of a voice! And her Italian is amazing! How has she not gained more notoriety?

[@elizabethfreites1723]

I think you guys forgot to mention her legato and breath control. Superb. The voice is very flexible and elastic. Wow!

This is beautiful and the best recording of this song on the internet.This song seems as it is difficult especially to a young vocalist like myself. I am singing this at a competition for school this year.

Fantastic voice!

[@mikey_m114]

such a beautiful voice and excellent performance! :D

[@viledinnist2643]

Lovely rendition, thank you. I've known this song all my life from a set of old 78rpm records - Italian Classic Songs sung by Gigli, that my Dad used to borrow from the local library in S E London.

C'est très bien chanté et interprété 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@sanmifalae9559]

Full, vibrant, clear, and uncanny similarity to Jessye Norman's. Wishing Francesca a similarly brilliant career.
