Cortis' voice has a unique quality about it - a kind of natural smoothness.
Although this is an excellent recording for 1929, it's still 1920's technology. If Cortis were recording today it would be breathtaking.
Thx for uploading.

Who among we who love opera would not want a tenor of Cortis' caliber on the international scene today?

ANTONIO CORTIS (12 August 1891 — 2 April 1952) was a Spanish tenor with an outstanding voice. He was acclaimed by audiences on both sides of the Atlantic for his exciting performances of Italian operatic works, especially those by Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini and the verismo composers.
MOLTO BELLO!!! Thank you for sharing this Wonderful video.

Cortis had a stunning beauty to his voice.

That is how the high note was written in the score. Cortis clearly could have held it longer. But he made this recording, if memory serves, in the late 1920s or early 30s, not long after "Turandot's" premiere. So no tradition had yet been established for tenors singing Calaf to sustain that top tone fermata --

@michaelkennedy100 I did not read the score, but I've always felt the tenors lacked lung in performing this piece

There is nothing wrong with the ending. Perfect rendition, sang as Puccini composed it.
