Description

This is a rare find. There are no known commercially produced recordings of Cesare Valletti singing the role of Faust in Boito's Mefistofele. 
One 12" 78rpm Sample Disc
CESARE VALLETTI, tenor Two arias from the opera, Mefistofele (Mephistopheles) by Arrigo Boito Dai campi, dai prati, from Act I, Scene 2  Forma ideal purissima, from Act IV 
Condition: VG+
Mr. Valletti, who was born in Rome in 1922, studied privately with Tito Schipa and was widely regarded as one of the last exponents of the true Italian lyrical style at a time when recordings and international travel blurred the distinctions between national styles.  At the height of his career, he was renowned for the coloration and elegance he brought to his portrayals of Alfredo in Verdi's ''Traviata,'' Pinkerton in Puccini's ''Madama Butterfly,'' Ernesto in Donizetti's ''Don Pasquale'' and Almaviva in Rossini's ''Barbiere di Siviglia.'' He also had successes in Mozart roles, including Don Ottavio in ''Don Giovanni'' and Idamante in ''Idomeneo,'' as well as in the title role of Massenet's ''Werther.'' His recordings of most of these roles, as well as a few recital discs he recorded for RCA, have long been prized by collectors.
