Product Description

Review
These sets all magnificently cover the recording activity of Beniamino Gigli, both in Europe and America, more than any tenor, he was the successor to Caruso. No Italian tenor of his generation quite compared with Gigli in the magic quality he could give to a song or aria, both in his colouring of tone and in the warm-hearted magnetism which marked all his singing. Excellent transfers by Mark Obert-Thorn. (***) --Penguin Compact Disc Guide

Review
Even operaphiles who know these recordings will want to hear Mark Obert-Thorn s new transfers. In the eight arias that previously appeared on EMI s Gigli issue (CDH 761051-2) the solo voice has gained a subtle added spaciousness while retaining clarity; and the orchestral sound, when not marred by source deterioration, can be startlingly present and vivid. The side-joins in the complete Pagliacci are impeccable. --Opera News
