	Classical Net Review - Prima Voce - Pinza
		Pinza's glory lives in the suavest musical line this side of Duke Ellington and in the seamless evenness of his tone, low to high.
		Even here, the liner notes by John Steane point out that Pinza was at first rejected as a vocal student on the grounds that he had no voice.
		What Pinza lacks in 1923 is the beautiful singing line that I consider his hallmark.

		Ezio Pinza is perhaps best remembered for his portrayal of de Becque in South Pacific, but he was a splendid basso and international opera star.
		Pinza is likewise more than acceptable even though he has a rather droning vocal part.
		The record itself is in fairly good shape except for the unfortunate distortion on the final chord, in this instance probably caused by much play with a worn needle.

		When Pinza made his first published recordings, in June 1923, he was thirty-one years old and had just completed his first full season at La Scala.
		Evidently a voice was now manifest, for Pinza was not merely accepted as a pupil but supported financially too.
		Over the years his performance was to deepen, but in 1928 it was already hailed as a masterpiece of the lyric theatre: "an artist second to none" reported the critic of the New York World.

		He was also, I imagine, a man of some exceptional radiance, one who moved at ease in a world of wealth, art and fashion, and yet who kept a good deal of the simple countryman about him.”
