DESCRIPTION:
It is unfortunate that Galli-Curci's vocal decline coincided with the birth of electrical recording, so nearly all of her electrical remakes of earlier acoustic recordings are inferior. However, taken by themselves, Galli-Curci's electricals still yield much pleasure and are important documents of one of the most unique and beautiful voices ever preserved on records. Her December 15, 1927 Victor re-recording of "Una Voce Poco Fa" from Rossini's opera "Il Barbiere Di Siviglia" is heard here.
