Dolce Vita transports us between love, nostalgia and dreams of travel, between operetta and popular song, to famous tunes arranged for this recording by Johan Farjot for the Ensemble Contraste. This intimate, loving, joyous journey brings together the essential tastes of an era dominated by carefree, unbridled creativity. From Bixio to Benatzky, via Lopez and Porter, this seductive programme takes you back in time to Merrill and Piaf, with plenty of surprises in store to keep you dreaming, singing and spending a pleasant evening with talented musicians. A record event for lovers of opera and popular songs alike, and for all those who wish to discover and rediscover the most famous emblematic songs of Italy and France. You'll travel to Rome, Florence, Naples, under the skies of Paris and to the jazzy tunes of that ultra-creative era.
