GRAND OPERA SEASON
Sir,- Your correspondent M. T. Stewart (Listener, December 24). may be interested to know that a few other members of the present Italian opera company have made recordings. The dramatic soprano Germana di Giulio has recently done arias from Forza del Destino, Gioconda, Cavalleria Rusticana and Thais. The young tenor Aldo Ferracuti has recorded the duet from Cavallaria with the soprano Sara Scuderi. (It is Ferracuti, by the way, who contributes a few offstage shouts of "Butterfly!" at the end of Adriana Guerrini’s recent disc of the finale from that opera!) Baritone Leo Piccioli made some standard arias, also for Italian Columbia, some years ago, and the bass Agosto was rumoured to have done at least one recording when he was in London with the San Carlo company late in 1946, As a pendant to the Turandot discussion, it is interesting to note that Franco Ghione is the conductor of the complete recording of this opera.
