"Brava" is a song written by Bruno Canfora and performed by Italian singer Mina.[1] The song was first performed byMina on the air of the Studio Uno program in March 1965 and released as a single at the request of the audience. In May, "Brava" was released with the song "E se domani" on the back (but differs from the 1964 Mina album version).[2] In November of the same year, an additional edition was released, but the B-side was the song "Più di te (I Won't Tell)".[3] Despite the fact that the work was released on two singles, none of them received quantitative commercial success in the sales charts.
Critical reception[edit]
Claudio Milano of OndaRock noted that the work, written by Maestro Bruno Canfora, is a pure exercise in style, although it is performed in an exemplary manner, both in composition for orchestra and in vocal interpretation, which, to put it mildly, is dizzying.[4]
