Title: A Correction
Review: Even though the timing of this CD is listed at over 70 minutes, it is in reality just over 50. Not that this would deter any Schipa aficianados. I prefer the opera recordings, but these later recordings sport surprisingly agreeable sound. Check out the early recordings on Nimbus and I believe Romophone also to see what this great lyric tenor was all about. These recordings, some ten or 15 years past prime show how even more than Gigli he was able to preserve his basic sound through a combination of rest and repertoire. This obscure release contains my favorite version of that (too?) much recorded old saw Core n'grato, here raised to a thing sublime.
Is the review positive or negative?
