A Forgotten Great Baritone

Giuseppe Danise was a Met baritone in the 20's and beginning 30's. Hardly anyone remembers this great artist today which is very sad indeed. He deserves a place among the greatest of baritones.

I only had one picture of Danise so I used some of the composer Leoncavallo as well. He's the guy with the awesome mustache lol.

PS: Sorry for the bad cut in this Prologue.

Never heard of him before, and I hate to judge on one recording, but he sounds first rate.

I'd love to hear him sing "Il Balen".

"Il balen", or anything else! I'd like to hear him sing Happy Birthday!

Just heard Pagliacci today on a recorded "live" from La Scala. The baritone was very good, but as we say in NY - OY VEY! We can't duplicate this type of singing. I love the dark quality of his voice for this aria.
