Classique / a cura di Claudio e David Contini / Partition CD inclus / We are presenting an anthology of operatic arias for tenor by Giuseppe Verdi including a CD with a recording of each aria. These performances were recorded during the 1930s and 1940s by some of the prominent artists of the time: Enrico Caruso, Tito Schipa, Giacomo Lauri Volpi, Beniamino Gigli, Aureliano Pertile, Hipolito Lazaro, Francesco Merli, Jussi Björling, Renato Zanelli. By listening of the CD, a younger singer can gain precious information concerning various technical aspects such as vocalproduction, breathing, musical phrasing, word interpretation, and can mature his own musical choices.
