About

This recording of Don Pasquale, despite its age (1932), has long been regarded as the yardstick by which all subsequent versions of this sparkling opera have been measured. Still in fine voice, Ernesto Badini (1876 - 1937) in the title role was undoubtedly the finest basso buffo of the day - he was London's first Gianni Schicchi) and Tito Schipa was at the height of his career. Saraceni and Poli were also matchless in their roles. Also included are rare highlights in German with Rita Streich and Josef Greindl stylishly conducted by Fritz Lehmann, some tracks of which are on CD for the first time. There is also space for two further bonuses: Streich singing Norina's aria in Italian and the legendary version of Pronta io son with Lotte Schöne and Willi Domgraf-Fassbänder
