This song has a very peculiar story behind. Its title was originally "Valery", written by Alfredo Cohen, Franco Battiato and Giusto Pio. Valery was a young transexual and LGBT activist, met by Cohen who had the idea to write this song in 1979. In 1982 Battiato re-wrote part of the lyrics for Milva, shifting the subject from Valery to the life in the eastern Berlin (the wall wa still up).
I am an Italian journalist. Thanks for sharing this song review. Milva was an unreachable artist. Please, watch also Uomini addosso and Una storia inventata by Milva too. Bye bye!
Stratosferica e spettacolare interpretazione della Divina Rossa! Solo Lei poteva cantare Alexander Platz, perché Milva era Alexander Platz! 🔥 Ciao Pantera! 🌹❤️
Milva, troppo riduttivo dire che era una cantante tra le più talentuose, era un'artista a tutto tondo, un animale da palcoscenico, un mostro di bravura e bellezza!
Vero. Grandissima Milva, Artista completa, unica, immensa e poliedrica come pochissime. Un diamante puro, una rarità! E poi, la voce stratosferica, con alti da brivido, bassi da vertigine e un vibrato da impazzire. Bellissima e bravissima, in una parola ... Divina!
Orietta Berti the Nightingale of Cavriago, Nada the poult of Gabbro, Sannia the gazelle of Cagliari, Patty Pravo the owl of Venezia and Alice the fawn of Forlì (for the eyes).
Battiato wrote also two beautiful, beautiful songs for the charming and elegant Alice (pron. Aah-lee-tche): "Prospettiva Nevskij" [1983, depicting the ancient atmosphere of the Nevsky Prospect in St. Petersburg] and "Per Elisa" [the title recalling Beethoven's Für Elise - 1981]. Elisa should be the metaphore of heroin, as those years drugs were still very popular. Anyway: neither the author nor the singer ever confirmed. Battiato and Alice also took part to Eurovision in 1985 with "I treni di Tozeur/The trains of Tozeur, about this city of Morocco] and perfromed a surely iconic stage.
It's creazy that it would take an American guy to make me re-discover Milva. When I was little in Italy I felt her music and stage persona smelled old, because I was young and silly. Your video made appreciate her crazily sexy, elegant, and masterfull performance. Gosh, that attitude, that bight red hair against the blue background. Edit: Thank you!
The historical and fantastic Live from Berlin 1988! I adore this iconic and wonderful live version of Alexander Platz. I adore Milva, great Artist, the magnificent Red Divine, forever in my heart. Superlative singer and theatrical actress. She is pure art, a true Diva! 🌹❤️
This elegant , grat artist, MILVA, died almost forgotten in Italy. And to think that she was a great star of italian singing, socially committed! He also sang the first, oldest version , of "Bella Ciao", wich originated as song of the" mondine"(i.e. the workstation of rice crops in Italy),for labor rights. Then, during Italian Resistance, while there was the Second World War " BELLA CIAO" became, with a different test, a song of freedom, know all over the world!
@@graziasapori2748 Certo che è vero. Milva non stava bene: è vero. Ma Mina la ricordano e la menzionano, in TV, spessissimo. Milva non è stata da meno di Mina, anzi! Milva ha calcato palcoscenici internazionali con le sue canzoni, d'autore, impegnate. E ha calcato palcoscenici teatrali . Ha fatto teatro con il maestro Strehler.

@@OltreLeNebbie I know this. I live in Ferrara but I wrote Bologna 'cause I think that not so many people in the world know what areas we are talking about. Bologna is the bigger city around here and it's better known.
she was one of the most international italian singers. A real diva in countries like Germany, Japan, Greece, France.. She died few years ago at the age of 80 with a career spanning over 60 years.. and yes she was considered very sexy by men.. Her discography is stunning and she used to record songs in 8 different languages
Wow, it's fantastic discovering a song in my own language that I didn't know, by watching the reaction to it of an American guy... That's is the real meaning of the word "sharing"... Thank you And and thank to the girl who asked for it... ❤️
The gratest italian singers Milva ( that was also an exellent theatrical actress) and Mina (many beautiful songs, among my best: the dreaming, passionate, sexy Ancora Ancora Ancora that was censured, the romantic 60's Un anno d'amore or Città vuota etc.) Milva sang the very first feminist version of Bella Ciao that Is memorable. Milva sang in 8 languages singing various genres always in an original way and was the muse of Ennio Morricone and the king of tango Astor Piazzolla and there Is also Giuni Russo: a magnificent voice ( example: Una vipera sarò and Johnny Guitar live 😉)
One of the cowriter of the song was Battiato, who sang it but only in live (Milva was one of his muses). Amazing voice and amazing song! The closing question "Do you like schubert?" it is a reference to Eastern Europe, at the time Berlin was still divided by the wall.
Of the great, great, great italian singer and songwriter FRANCESCO DE GREGORI listen to the is beautiful songs: " La donna cannone", "Generale", " Viva l'Italia" , " Buonanotte fiorellino" and another....
The original song ws recordd in 1979 by Alfredo Cohen (an actor), with music by Battiato, as: "Valery", which tells the story of a transgender: Valérie Taccarelli. When Battiato asked... She allowed to re-arrange the song for Milva, with a song about another way to be "at the other side of wall". ruclips.net/video/Ac7ARcVXCBE/видео.html
Milva, a huge talent in singing and acting. An icon of elegance and class in her musical performances. 👏💝 This song is another Franco Battiato' s masterpiece, a song that makes you go back in time and place, when things were hard to bear in East Berlin during the cold war days
Other melodious italian singer with kinds songs are:1) MANGO , song " Bella d'estate" ; " Oro" ; " Mediterraneo". 2) GIGI FINIZIO, song " Il cuore nel caffè ". 3) ALEX BARONI song " Tu sì na cosa grande". 4) LUCIO DALLA song " Piazza grande". Etc.

Angelo, you already know Mina (nickname: Cremona's tiger) and Milva (Goro's Panther), now to complete the thing.... Iva Zanicchi (Ligonchio's eagle) here is her famous old song... i add lyrics in english. ruclips.net/video/eykI8AACJDQ/видео.html Mr. Captain stop here, I'm so tired, I stop, yes, careful they shoot, throw yourself down ... I'm careful, but take shelter too. tell me a little soldier, where are you from ... I am from a town near you ... but the border crosses the river. the white bank, the black bank, and above the bridge I see a flag, but it's not what's inside my heart. you soldier, then, you are not one of mine ... I have another uniform, you know it too ... I don't know because I don't see anymore, they hit me and maybe it was you ... Mr. Captain, what do you want to do ... this here is war, it can't change. on the hill sings the machine gun ... and the green grass becomes straw ... and along the river the battle continues, but for the two of us it is already over now. mister captain I have to go ... I come too that you cannot leave me ... I will not leave you, I already know it, I will be close to you for eternity. All is over, the border is silent, the white shore the black shore, while a woman weeps in the evening and calls out a name that will not answer Signor capitano si fermi qui, sono tanto stanco, mi fermo si, attento sparano, si butti giù... sto attento, ma riparati anche tu. dimmi un pò soldato, di dove sei... sono di un paese vicino a lei... però sul fiume passa la frontiera. la riva bianca, la riva nera, e sopra il ponte vedo una bandiera, ma non è quella che c'è dentro il mio cuor. tu soldato, allora, non sei dei miei... ho un'altra divisa lo sa anche lei... non lo so perché non vedo più, mi han colpito e forse sei stato tu... signor capitano, che ci vuol far... questa qui è la guerra, non può cambiar. sulla collina canta la mitraglia... e l'erba verde diventa paglia... e lungo il fiume continua la battaglia, ma per noi due è già finita ormai. signor capitano io devo andar... vengo anch'io che te non mi puoi lasciar... non non ti lascerò, io lo so già, starò vicino a te per l'eternità. Tutto è finito, tace la frontiera, la riva bianca la riva nera, mentre una donna piange nella sera e chiama un nome che non risponderà
Great singer Milva. You should listen "kamikaze rock'n'roll suicide" from Donatella Rettore or "OK (fiamme sul pacifico)" from New Trolls. Both crazy Italian songs.

Milva was a real diva,very classy and beautiful.
She sadly passed away this year at the age of 82.

Rip cara Milva, sempre nei nostri cuori.💝
Notoriously, Milva was the panther of Goro, Mina was the tiger of Cremona, and Iva Zanicchi was the eagle of Ligonchio.
Orietta Berti the Nightingale of Cavriago, Nada the poult of Gabbro, Sannia the gazelle of Cagliari, Patty Pravo the owl of Venezia and Alice the fawn of Forlì (for the eyes).
One of the best Interpretations ever in Italian music Grande MILVA ❤
This is a masterpiece from the most refined diva
She was worshipped in Germany for an unbelievable interpretation of Berthold Brecht's songs.
Milva also had a High Honor from Germany in 2006 for her great interpretations of Brecht. Superb singer and actress!
Ok mate, I'm Italian and I can tell you that you deserve the Italian citizenship ☺️ congrats for the great music you choice.
Battiato wrote also two beautiful, beautiful songs for the charming and elegant Alice (pron. Aah-lee-tche): "Prospettiva Nevskij" [1983, depicting the ancient atmosphere of the Nevsky Prospect in St. Petersburg] and "Per Elisa" [the title recalling Beethoven's Für Elise - 1981].

I loved Alice when I was teen: her voice " dark", her beautiful face,her songs uncommuns

Anche io invecchiando ho rivalutato musica che snobbavo da ragazzo.
Maybe the italian last Diva... it's important to listen to her with Astor Piazzolla... intense, sublime
❤ Milvaaa
Grande artista ,profonda voce ,volata in cielo 😭
Grazie un abbraccio dall'🇮🇹

This song is been wrote by Franco Battiato who wrote La Cura song.
❤❤❤ la cultura dello spettacolo internazionale.. oltre che italiano
Milva for me, was the best italian singer, her pubblished 174 albums, she sang in german, inglish, spanish and japanese
She sang also in French ... a dream!
She received Honours from Italy (Commander), Germany (Officer) and France (Officer and Chevalier).
This elegant , grat artist, MILVA, died almost forgotten in Italy.
And to think that she was a great star of italian singing, socially committed!
He also sang the first, oldest version ,
of "Bella Ciao", wich originated as song
of the" mondine"(i.e. the workstation of rice crops in Italy),for labor rights.
Then, during Italian Resistance, while
there was the Second World War
" BELLA CIAO" became, with a different
test, a song of freedom, know all over
the world!
Almost forgotten Is not so true..She retired cose She was sick...
@@graziasapori2748 Certo che è vero.
Milva non stava bene: è vero.
Ma Mina la ricordano e la menzionano,
in TV, spessissimo.
Milva non è stata da meno di Mina, anzi!
Milva ha calcato palcoscenici internazionali con le sue canzoni, d'autore, impegnate.
E ha calcato palcoscenici teatrali .
Ha fatto teatro con il maestro Strehler.
Ed è stata grande, elegante e discreta.
Non le hanno dedicato le attenzioni che meritava.
In TV non la menzionavano, tranne che pochissimo, quasi nulla.
E quindi ho detto il vero!
@@annamariaspano2304 Ma Milva è stata molto più di Mina !! La Carriera che ha avuto Milva, Mina se l’è potuta solo sognare……
Great, left oriented singer. Like all the real artists.
Milva… una delle canzoni più belle ❤️
Beautiful song! This channel is everyday a surprise! Thanks Angelo!
She sung the original when she was younger - with all the power. She remains an icon in with high onorefics in Germany, Italy and France.
Grande Marco Giallini che fa l'americano
Great one! May I suggest "Ti Sento" by Matia Bazar? Amazing singer, there's also an English version named "I Feel You'
This. One of the best female singer ever
Here's the link btw: ruclips.net/video/v0lUveFEfTE/видео.html
Oh yes! Definetly listen to Ti Sento, you will fall in love with the vocalist Antonella Ruggero.
Milva per sempre! eterna, arte vera
Una delle voci più belle e potenti in Italia
Milva grandissima artista , la più grande cantante che l'Italia abbia mai avuto.
You also can listen to Battiato version of Alexanderplatz (he wrote it for Milva and then he interpreted it)
Stupenda Milva🌹💝,abbiamo tantissimi artisti in Italia e ne siamo orgogliosissimi e fieri!
She was known as "The panther of Goro". Goro is a small town near Bologna in Italy.
Goro is at the boundaries between Ferrara and Rovigo. I live some minutes far from there... Unfortunately I never met her :(
@@OltreLeNebbie I know this. I live in Ferrara but I wrote Bologna 'cause I think that not so many people in the world know what areas we are talking about. Bologna is the bigger city around here and it's better known.

"I'm not into beastiality" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She was such a wonderful artist.

They used funny names to refer to singers in the ‘60s. Milva was called the panther from Goro (her home town).

Listen to the fantastic voice of MICHELE ZARRILLO in the sweet song :" Ragazza d'argento"(" Silver girl").
Is beautiful!!!!
Very very EPIC, but the Franco Battiato(who wrote the song) version is mind blowing bro, trust me
this song is write to franco battiato
