Songs recorded at Durium Studios, Italy & UK edit

Most of these thirty-one (1959-1961) songs were recorded in the Italian language: the exception is the third song, which was recorded in both Italian and English/Italian versions. "Il nostro concerto" and "Amore Mio" were both originally recorded by Franchi in Italian, but English/Italian versions were recorded by him on the Durium (UK) label. Franchi's recordings of "Amore Mio" and "I tuoi occhi verde" were hit singles in Italy. The songs in this section were primarily recordings for the popular Italian market (includes four Christmas carols) during Franchi's return to Italy from South Africa; it includes selections from the Sanremo Music Festival during 1960 and 1961. Songs titles include likely English translations.

  • "Bianco Natale (White Christmas)"
  • "Santa notte ((Silent) Holy Night)"

Songs recorded on American albums edit

Regarding his repertoire, Sergio Franchi stated that he had a "four-pronged approach",[2] 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 edit

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.

Songs from film and stage edit

This category contains eighty-three songs; but not the largest category when considering the one-hundred-six Italian and Neapolitan songs recorded by Franchi in both Italy and America. Five of his studio albums were dedicated to show tunes (Broadway - I Love You!, The Dream Duet with Anna Moffo, Original Cast Album of Do I Hear a Waltz?, the collaboration album Great Moments from Die Fledermaus, & The Songs of Richard Rodgers.)

Note: Nominated Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song[3]

Popular and romantic ballads edit

This song list contains seventy-three songs recorded in a variety of styles (including Country/Western, American folk songs, and some International favorites). "Appasionada" and "Midnight in Paris" were recorded on a single in London with Wally Stott in 1962 and are believed to be two of the songs presented for Sergio Franchi's 1962 audition with RCA Victor.
