Bastianini popularity has grown internationally, especially in the last several years. Beyond the Decca recordings, for which Bastianini is universally known, this Ricordi release is the only one not produced by the London label in which the Italian baritone has participated. He is heard here alongside Alfredo Kraus, Renata Scotto, and Fiorenza Cossotto. Price: $43.98 |
