Giuseppe Danise - La danza (Rossini tarantella) - 1922

From a review of a Chicago-area concert in 1922:
'Giuseppe Danise, who has won fame and favor at the Metropolitan Opera, has practically everything of vocal value that makes success. He has a voice, and he can sing. Volume, range, and a meaty timbre are his; wide versatility. He trumpeted out the high notes of “Eri tu,” a few moments later he projected the suave sticky romanticism of “Visione Fugitive” as ardently as the most sentimental soul could desire; still later the nimble measures of Rossini's “Danza” clicked out with all the accuracy of a smoothly running mechanism. Wherefore success and its testimonies, loud applause and encores, were his.'

This channel is primarily about vocal emission-aural examples of basically correct singing, correct impostazione-chiaroscuro, vowel clarity, firm and centered pitch, correct vibrato action, absence of throatiness or thickness, sounds free from constriction and from the acoustic noise that accompanies it-with occasional video examples that demonstrate what the body, face, mouth, jaw, and tongue look like when used with correct impostazione-the vocal emission of the one and only Italian school.

This is the first time I've heard this piece performed by a baritone, in a suitable key. Love it!
