Track 6: Il était une fois ŕ la cour d'Eisenach by Alfredo Kraus
Very Dramatic interpretation. I'll frustrate the potential buyer by letting this one "sing" for itself!!!
Track 7 :Recondita armonia sung by Alfredo Mariotti, Franco Corelli
Again this is a mind-boggling performance with Corelli seeming to power away and Mariotti holding him in check. Another example of sprit and soul working together to create this superb collection of sound!
Track 8: Mein Herz voll Treue bis zum Sterben sung by Wolfgang Windgassen

Track 9: Ella mi fu rapita! sung by Carlo Bergonzi
An aria from one of the most popular operas (Rigoletto) is sung to perfection by one of my favourite technical tenors.
Track 10 ...
