 Classics Today.com - Your Online Guide to Classical Music
Before Jan Peerce began his illustrious career as an operatic tenor he appeared frequently on the popular radio shows of the day, singing mostly show songs and numbers from current films, interspersed with the occasional aria or Neapolitan Song.
The ones that might interest classical music lovers are "Torna a Sorriento", "O sole mio", "Macushla" (an Irish song made famous by tenor John McCormack, here sung with fuller tone--and in a higher key than McCormack), "Ah, sweet mystery of life" by Victor Herbert, and "La donna e mobile".
I plan never to listen to it again but will listen instead to Peerce's opera recordings, many of which are led by Arturo Toscanini, who championed his career.

Elsewhere, she is excellent, as are Jan Peerce (Riccardo), Virginia Haskins (Oscar) and Claramae Turner (Ulrica).
This recording has good acoustics, having been recorded live in Carnegie Hall instead of the notorious Studio 8-H. But because of Toscanini's queer balances, it remains more of a hothouse performance than his recordings of "Otello," "Falstaff" (1937 version) or "Aida," all of which are excellent despite occasional cast lapses.
