Great singing with a fine interpolated trill that is more conservative on his studio recording but this is live and amazing in the 2,800 seat (not amplified Carnegie Hall) The Carnegie Hall Concerts put to rest any talk of his voice being a microphone voice only. In a lyric role he could sing in any opera house in the world and he did sing in Boheme complete in Europe. He died in 1942 at age 38, not even in his prime. Here he was only 33 and with his fine technique his voice would have grown
FANTASTIC! WHAT STYLE! WHAT ELEGANCE! WHAT RESPECT FOR THE MUSIC! No hamming it up or playing to the footlights. Just Joseph Scmidt and Donizetti. This is artistry of the highest degree!

How so very precious is this recording? So very beautiful. There is simply no one singing like this today.
