Ca.1930 sangs IRENE MINGHINI-CATTANEO the same song. You must listen it. It is the original song and it is amasing.

I always loved Fedora Barbieri. A great Azucena, Amneris, Ulrica, etc. She sang with Callas a lot and they recorded around five operas together. Barbieri's voice lost it's top early on in the late 1950's, and she kind of became a contralto. She had a booming chest voice which made her ideal in roles like Dame Quickly in "Falstaff", which she continued to sing well into the late 1970's. She made her Met debut in 1950 and sang there off and on until around 1978.
