Every tone regardless of volume is clear, text sparkles and he sings with a manliness that escapes modern baritones. Everything he sings rings and he sings louder but it does not become pushed. He also does not over cover the top, he colors but it is still clear and ringing. This is the way Cotogni sang. This is genius level singing.
Bravo, bravo. What a vocal treasure to be able to listen to this man's artistry. A true Bel Canto singer who sang through words and gave them their rightful meaning in a phrase. He had a great range - even extending into the tenor range. His interpretation of Largo Al Factotum is just fantastic and a joy to listen to.
To the wonderful channel meister. RC sang a song called "When the Evening Bells are Ringing". Would love to share with others as Ihave it on an O,A.S.I [ LP] along with songs sing by DeLuca and Mardones. I wish it would be put on CD for a backup copy. That LP goes with me to the Desert Island.

listen to all that "wild & nasty" sound quality like an "animal"....all great singers of the past have it......
As a voice student......I am listen to these "old great singers"....for that quality......"the animal spirit"
