antonio paoli, nobil lama al ciel raggiante (il cid )

[MrGer2295]

Antonio Paoli (April 14, 1871 – August 24, 1946) was a Puerto Rican tenor. He was known at the height of his fame as "The King of Tenors and The Tenor of Kings". He is considered to be the first Puerto Rican to reach international fame in the musical arts. Paoli has been recognized as "one of the most outstanding opera singers of all times", and as one who had "one of the most lyric and powerful voices ... superior even to his contemporary rival, Enrico Caruso."

Grande! Thank you for sharing.
