4.0 out of 5 stars
Much more than "South Pacific", July 20, 2007
This review is from: Pinza Prima Voce (Audio CD)
Such is the nature of pop culture that beloved italian opera singer who sang classical music all his life,was upon his death remember chifely for his later Broadway succes,when in fact Broadway was just a short chapter in oterwise dignified and serious career.There is nothing wrong in "South Pacific" of course,but there is so much more to Pinza and this is why "Prima Voce" is important to represent how this thundering bass worked his way from Italy to Metroploitan.Lots of goodies here,my favourite arias from "Don Giovanni" and "Aida",also nice to cmpare his later recordings with very first ones done in Italy with conductor Carlo Sabajno (acoustic! before they started making elctric recordings) apparently his talent was there from the very start.Excellent.
