Yes, I know people love him. My friend studied with Enrico Rosati, teacher of Gigli,Lauri-Volpi, and Lanza. His voice was souped up, but essentially probably fine..BUT what he does at the "le dolce brezze" makes me want to shoot him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw his Met debut and 40 more times. Yes, he could be a pain...but a fabulous man on that stage. Note the B flat Celeste Aida DIMINUENDO. Friends of mine and his loved him as a person. In the book it tells how he and wife Loretta fight in a hotel room. I asked Frank Guarrera, "With SAUCE???" YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO one like him and Del Monaco today!!!

Rather controversial figure but sometimes people are Goering to separate his possible Nazi connections from his art. I can do that, but not everyone can...but a GREAT MAN!!!!

If you asked me what 5 singers of the past I would most want to hear, Ebe Stignani would be one. The others I guess would be Lehmann,Caruso, Muzio and Eva Turner. Stignani never came to the Met, another one of their stupid mistakes.

I love my friend Olivia Stapp's "Giudici." However, when Ramey, Galvany, and I did it in 1970, she held the D so long I ran out of breath!!!!!

Luciano must have had a great time with Isola Jones. They always had to make doors wider so she could enter. I once told Soviero to wear metal panties, knowing what he enjoyed!!!
