Gigli and de Luca perform the duet from the beginning of act IV of La Boheme. Recorded 1927 (not 1931 as the video says).

This tears your heart out: poor Rodolfo, commisserating with his friend Colline that his beloved Mimi will never return to thim. This is precisely why Puccini is so beloved: Gigli and deLuca are just amazing in this.

Straordinari!! Gigli e De Luca due tra gli ultimi esponenti della gloriosa scuola romana di Cotogni, Marconi, Battistini...

god I love this.

Up until the nineteenth century apparently all Italians could sing as well as this, well nearly...

I don't know, the 1961 Tucker/Merrill version of this has always been my favorite, but these guys were awfully good... Thanks for the post.

SO beautiful!

The beauty of Gigli's voice in its prime is virtually without peer, especially in the music of Puccini. De Luca's warm, round voice and smooth bel canto style is equally magnificent.

That's awesome! Is anyone else in your family a singer, too?

Gigli is superb, and de Luca had a much richer, rounder voice than we associate with lyric baritones today --

I agree, this is Gigli at his prime. De Luca does have a very rich sound, but I don't think that with the rep he was singing at the time, he would be classified as a "lyric" baritone. He was the go-to Rigoletto at the time. Back then, the baritones who sang Marcello and Rossini's Figaro were the same who sang Rig and Scarpia.
