Well folks, there were Chaliapin, Callas, and then . . .

I've heard Italian singers who understood this less than this Russian. This is not just magnificent singing, it is world-class comic acting, with every word and expression given its full value. Matchless,literally matchless - this is one of my favourite arias, and I have never heard it half as well performed.

Where on earth did you find that footage?! And is it actually of him recording this aria?

@ChrisStockslager It's a British Pathe newsreel from 1927, and yes, he is actually recording this aria.
