The Best of the Vocal Scene
Caruso, Ruffo and Chaliapin
Rebroadcast - Saturday, July 17, 2010
George's early record-collecting hobby paid off handsomely years later for
him--and his listeners--when he created The Vocal Scene and was able to share
his knowledge of the great voices of the past. George refers to Enrico Caruso,
Titta Ruffo and Feodor Chaliapin as the "awesome threesome." You'll hear why
they were such huge stars a hundred years ago and would be opera headliners in
any era.
