Friday Night on ‘A Little Night Music’ – Vintage Vocalists: Giuseppe de Luca

Every Friday on “A Little Night Music” – Vintage Vocalists. Jean Stillwell of “Classical Mornings with Mike and Jean” joins Kathleen Kajioka to explore great voices of the past. This week, Giuseppe de Luca.

This Italian baritone was one of the greats of the early 20^th century – a time when Puccini was around to write roles just for him. This artist, who premiered Madama Butterfly and Gianni Schicchi, was so good Arturo Toscanini called him “absolutely the best baritone I have ever heard.”

Tune in just after 9 to hear this extraordinary voice!
