Liner Notes-Excerpt
"Schipa’s recordings remain a text book for any tenor willing to study
and learn. They provided a kind of vocal Bible for Carlo Bergonzi
during his transition from baritone to tenor. Schipa’s imprint can be
heard in Bergonzi’s supple phrasing, exquisite tonal shading and
pliant rubato. Bergonzi learned from Schipa’s recordings how a great
artist can make much out of little. The lesson is still there for any
tenor willing to learn." Robert Baxter, 1997
For the whole good thing:
