Beautiful and poignant.
This piece brings me back to Fritz Lohner Beda, an Austrian Jewish man who died in one of the concentration camps during Hitler’s times. He was a very gifted man intellectually and artistically. He wrote the lyrics to Tu Che Mi Hai Preso Il Cuor, an operatic song. Luciano Pavarotti has sung it and many other singers as well. It is a beautiful song, and I invite you to listen to it as Luciano sings it. You can easily find it on YouTube or music app. Fritz had such a beautiful and sensitive heart. Google his life story. Also the song’s title is You Who Have Captured My Heart. It is a very beautiful love song. As you can detect by now, I am not only Italian, bur an opera lover as well.❤️
Thank you.
