Two cornerstone operas of the Italian verismo tradition on a single 3-LP set: Leoncavallo's "I Pagliacci" and Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana." This 1968 Fontana recording features a stellar cast including tenor Gianni Poggi and baritone Aldo Protti, with the Teatro di San Carlo Orchestra and chorus providing authentic Neapolitan passion. These are works of raw emotional power—dramatic, human, with melodies that burn themselves into memory. The 1968 recording captures the vibrancy and authenticity of the verismo repertoire from a golden era of Italian opera.
