		Gigli was a man who was almost entirely artistically obsessed; he was, in any case, far too busy with his art to take more than the most passing interest in political developments.
		Gigli had been drawn inadvertently to tell the truth at a time when truth itself was little respected and people were highly sensitive to it.
		Gigli’s first response was to arrange to sing with his daughter in a benefit concert for the partisans.

	Beniamino Gigli
		Gigli was born in Recanati on 20th March 1890, the youngest child of a very poor family.
		Gigli sang this role until the end of his remarkable career: in November 1946 at the Covent Garden in London with his daughter Rina (Mimì) he was Rodolfo once again, a "paternal" lover who did nothing to hide his fatherly pride.
		On 30th November 1957 Beniamino Gigli, the tenor with one of the most beautiful, voluptuous and impassioned timbres in the history of Italian opera singing, died in Rome.

		Gigli sang in South America in 1919-20, then made his Metropolitan Opera debut in the fall of 1920, again in Mefistofele.

		Beniamino Gigli was born on March 20th 1890 in Recanati near Ancona on the Adriatic coast of Italy.
		Gigli's acting and stage appearance didn't improve as his figure grew rounder, but this didn't seem to matter because of his wonderful gift of communication through the great variety of colours he could paint with his voice.
		Beniamino Gigli died in Rome of a heart attack on November 30th 1957.

		Gigli, however, had one huge advantage over the others; his voice was by far the most beautiful, and his overwhelming popularity with the public can be gauged by the fact that he was able to charge by far the highest fees.
		Gigli was a master of vocal colouring - though as a stage actor he was virtually a non-starter.
		Gigli was a singer who could set an audience laughing as expertly as he could bring the tears to their eyes.

	Memoirs and anecdotes about Beniamino Gigli as told by Michelangelo Verso Sr.
		Knowing that Beniamino Gigli, resided in his personal villa on Via Serchio 2, I phoned and asked if it would be possible for me to give an audition to which he willingly agreed.
		Gigli accepted on the condition that he sing together with the best young lyric singers of the moment, in order to promote a singing contest to select the most beautiful voices in Palermo at that time.
		Gigli felt very honoured by that proposal but replied that he couldn't take on such a responsibility as he felt the opera didn't suit his vocal characteristics.

	Golden Music Memories of Yesteryear: Gigli
		Beniamino Gigli was born at Recanati, near Ancona, on March 20, 1890, the youngest of six children of a poor shoemaker, who was also sacristan of the local cathedral.
		In 1914 Gigli graduated with honours, and in July, in a glare of publicity, won the international singing competition always held in Parma.
		All the recordings included here come from Gigli's prime, the years between 1926 and 1940, when the tone was at its most golden, an easeful sound that pleases the ear in whatever register its owner chooses to employ it.

	Sferisterio
		In the summer of 1921, Beniamino Gigli was seated at the Sferisterio watching Verdi’s Aida and, according to Pier Alberto Conti, after the performance, he congratulated Francisca Solari, the much acclaimed star of Verdi’s opera.
		Beniamino Gigli saw this headstone and thanked everybody, but when he saw the very last lines “the Sferisterio Association had placed”, he humourously reminded, whoever was in charge, that he was still living!
		Beniamino Gigli, as a singer, went back to Macerata in 1930 singing triumphally for the local Prefecture of the city, but an unpleasant and unpredictable “finale” was created.

		We also have a deal of Gigli in lighter fare singing the Neapolitan songs for which he was famed and also some Kreisler, and Flotow.
		His Bizet is less impressive, Gigli seemingly intent on breaking legato, and his Donizetti much admired by some but not by me. The run is loose and the sobs a portent of the stylistic anachronisms to come.
		This applies to De Curtis, whom Gigli did so much to popularise on disc and the honeyed Nutile which, despite a few catches in the throat and emotive pleading, is a superb example of his art in lighter material.

		This is the first of a series of issues that will publish in order the 'singles' made by Gigli, that is to say, the recordings that were not part of complete opera sets.
		Unfortunately, Gigli was not the best musician in the opera house and later in his career he adopted mannerisms that became annoying.
		There is very little of that here, although in 'E lucevan le stelle' (from Tosca) there are the intrusive sobs and portamenti that later became such a part of his style.

		Gigli went to US in 1920, having made some tonally beautiful but poorly acted acoustics for 'HMV'.
		Linking to his appearance at the Met, 'Victor' began a long association of recordings both acoustic and electric, and this album from Romophone is the 1st of 3 dealing with this period.
		Gigli's tone developed to its full during these recs, parallel with some intrusive bad vocal habits - nobody needs to use aspirates at all, and certainly not to the degree of Gigli.

		Gigli later lamented that he didn't have the same deprived background.
		Gigli (1890-1957) had large shoes to fill and he never quite managed to fill them.
		When Caruso died young, Gigli's career took off, and he was often called 'Caruso secondo', which was meant as a compliment.
