Bravo Ruffo

The size of his voice moving with such ease is like an elephant doing perfect pirouettes in Swan Lake.

[ElSalvador50]

Ruffo is the only singer I listen to that hurts my ears when he sings, Imagine what he must have sounded like in the house!

[MrCafiero]

@ElSalvador50 LOL! True, but look up Caruso singing Serenata.

@MrCafiero When was this recorded?

[TheUlrichA]

Kónig unter den Baritonen! aber, Largo ist für ihm zu "light", trotzdem, Der König

[10clementine]

Yes, it is good, but I think Lawrence Tibbett's version is better.

[eli52133]

I really really love it !!!!

grazie mille ^^

[andriv123]

Definitivmente uno de los mejores baritonos de todos los tiempos!!

[leadoffeohippus]

PURE EE. Yeah, love it.

[69brancaleone]

Fantastic performance of the greatest!

[Kievest]

An astounding document of Ruffo as the

Baritone of One Hundred Voices! In this

one aria, Ruffo's enormous voice does

at least twenty reincarnations and turns

on a dime to express every feeling and

nuance of the score without losing one

centilla of power, finesse or jaw dropping

vocal virtuosity! Just Great!!! Thank you!

[halavey]

Fine recording not my favorite though, all just opinion of course.

[racheleleeba]

Wonderful!

[meltzerboy]

Ruffo recorded this aria at least three times. I believe this is the 1912 rendition, and the tone and technique are magnificent. The earlier 1904 version is equally superb. Ruffo's voice is a true force of nature!

[jfsanin]

tremendous force, power and technique. jfsanin

[Dobrib]
