"Bianco Natale (White Christmas)" "Santa notte ((Silent) Holy Night)" Songs recorded on American albums Regarding his repertoire, Sergio Franchi stated that he had a "four-pronged approach", but that included some of his operatic arias which were very popular as encores with his concert audiences. A true operatic crossover artist (with its genre-busting complexities), Franchi recorded two studio albums devoted to opera (The Dream Duet and The Great Moments From Die Fledermaus, both with Anna Moffo). He also recorded three other operatic arias: two solo arias ("E lucevan le stelle," "Vesti la giubba" and "My heart at Thy Sweet Voice" dueting with Julie Andrews).. although he thought he performed many more. Songs from opera, operettas, and many of the classic Neapolitan songs are usually classified by genre as Opera. For the purposes of this list of songs, Sergio Franchi's recordings will be placed into the four categories that he used in organizing his repertoire. Neapolitan and Italian songs The following seventy-five songs were originally written by Italian composers and lyricists. Franchi's dedication to the genre is evidenced by the fact that almost all of his studio albums contain one or more Neapolitan and/or Italian songs. Three of his studio albums (Romantic Italian Songs, Our Man from Italy, & La Dolce Italy) contained all Italian selections.
