'His voice is of faultless beauty and remarkable expressive power; it possesses the velvety richness which we have not experienced since the days of Gigli and Lauri Volpi', wrote an eminent American critic in 1948 following Giuseppe Di Stefano's Metropolitan Opera debut.

During the ensuing decades, this great artist ranked among the finest and most lionized tenors in the world. Here, released for the first time internationally on CD, is his only opera recital recorded on Deutsche Grammophon.
