Torna a Surriento (arr. Evelyn)

[Martin Jonas]

Ernesto de Curtis (1875-1937): Torna a Surriento (Come Back To Sorrento)
Arranged by Evelyn Tiffany-Castiglioni

This is one of the classic Neapolitan songs, recorded by everybody. Somewhat surprisingly, I have not so far managed to record a version of my own, so here is one, using my Ceccherini bowlback, built when this song was composed. Arrangement by our much-missed musical friend Evelyn Tiffany-Castiglioni, in the key of D major/minor rather than the more common E.

1890s Umberto Ceccherini mandolin
Mid-Missouri M-0W mandolin (x2)
Vintage Viaten tenor guitar
Suzuki MC-815 mandocello
