 Titta Ruffo information - Search.com
Ruffo's detractors accused him of bellowing and seeking to overpower audiences with sheer force of sound, however, his records show him to have been capable of great subtlety and nuance.
Ruffo's forceful singing style was not conducive to vocal longetivity, and his vocal decline began relatively early.
Ruffo himself seemed to recognize this and he refused to teach voice after his retirement, stating; "I never knew how to sing,that is why my voice went by the time I was fifty.

 Opera Shop: Titta Ruffo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Titta Ruffo was part of the impressive batch of male Italian singers to invade the international opera scene in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
Ruffo stood out as the most powerful baritone voice of his time, well-suited to the demands of the “modern” opera, such as those written by Verdi, Puccini and Leoncavallo, which dispensed with florid vocal passages in favor of dramatic declamation.
Although his voice was rich and powerful, Ruffo was not considered the finest singer of the batch.

 Ruffo, Titta
Ruffo’s voice had something of a force of nature about it, something animalistic even.
Deep at heart Ruffo was, in fact, a naturalist and by no means a pure belcanto singer.
This was offset by a certain huskiness in the lower range - a deficit that increased during the course of his career.

 Titta Ruffo Preiser 89607 [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- October 2005 MusicWeb-International   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The magnificent Ruffo is well served by this Preiser release.
Ruffo could float a half voice - try his Otello Credo — but all the while maintaining massive authority and he could generate tension expertly; Era la notte is a genuine example of bleached withdrawn tone allied to high tensile theatrical impersonation.
Fine copies have been used and sensitive studio restoration reveals the voice in all its glory, the glory that was Ruffo.

 Magda Olivero / Titta Ruffo / Lone Koppel / Peter Anders / Beniamino Gigli
Baritone Titta Ruffo, born Ruffo Cafiero Titta (1877-1953), was known during his remarkable career as the "singing lion." Imposing physically, he had power and stamina particularly in the upper register, and this is evident recordings on this CD, made from 1914-1921 when he was at the height of his career.
Ruffo's voice recorded very well and even though these are acoustic recordings the richness and vibrancy of his sound is very apparent.
About a decade ago Preiser issued a 3-CD set (89303) of Ruffo recordings and although about a dozen of those are duplicated here, the new material here surely will be of interest to collectors.
