About
This collection of famous opera arias, issued across two volumes, includes several of the singers known, in the main, to connoisseurs. The present volume features Bruno Prevedi, with his baritonal timbre; Gianni Raimondi, of whose voice Luciano Pavarotti once said that he had spent hours studying Raimondi's technique in the hope of emulating it; and Gino Penno, who, with a splendid voice of considerable power and expressiveness enjoyed only a short but memorable operatic career in the 1950s.
Although previously issued on CD all the recordings have been carefully remastered for this release.
‘Mr. Prevedi will give satisfaction’ – Gramophone, October 1964
‘there’s a real heroic ring […] in such pieces as Gabriel’s aria from Simon Boccanegra’ – (Penno) Gramophone, June 1954
