"E lucevan le stelle" (English: "And the stars were shining") is a romantic aria from the third act of Giacomo Puccini's opera Tosca from 1900, composed to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. It is sung in act 3 by Mario Cavaradossi (tenor), a painter in love with the singer Tosca, while he waits for his execution on the roof of Castel Sant'Angelo.
Written in B minor, it is one of the most famous opera arias. The vocal range extends from F?3 to A4. The aria is considered part of the spinto tenor repertoire.[1]
The aria is introduced by a somber clarinet solo. The incipit of the melody (heard in outline earlier in the act, as the sky lightens and the gaoler prepares for the execution) is repeated on the lines "O dolci baci, o languide carezze" ("Oh, sweet kisses and languorous caresses"), and also restated in forte in the closing bars of the opera, as Tosca jumps from the ramparts.
"Recondita armonia" is the first romanza in the opera Tosca (1900) by Giacomo Puccini. It is sung by the painter Mario Cavaradossi when comparing his love, Tosca, to a portrait of Mary Magdalene that he is painting.

***CAVEAT FOR PURCHASERS OF 78 RPM RECORDS FROM BARRY'S BARGAIN BIN*** The 78 rpm records offered here have accumulated from older relatives of mine. I am not familiar with most of the recordings and the information offered has been culled from my research on the internet (and may have factual discrepancies). For those who are not recording cognoscenti (including myself), be aware of certain details: (1) These records are very old--always FIFTY to ONE HUNDRED years or more; (2) As such, the recording quality is never more than acceptable--especially in comparison to Hi-Fi, Stereo, and Digital recordings. These are always noisy, with clicks, pops, scratches, etc.; (3) I have not played these records before offering them for sale. They are offered as COLLECTIBLE items. (4) Hence, NO RETURNS WILL BE ACCEPTED--FOR ANY REASON! I have been informed that major shipping companies--UPS, FEDEX, et al.--are prepared to handle these items and guarantee success in delivering them. The approximate cost to ship one record in the US is $25 (with minor variations concernings zip codes). That $25 is built into my price and will cover all domestic shipping and handling costs--including insurance and tracking.
