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 May 13, 1927 Victor recording of "Caro Nome" from Verdi's opera "Rigoletto" is heard here.
