THE VOICE OF RUFFO
Sir,-I am, and have been for a number of years, an interested listener to the various programmes throughout the Dominion. During this long period I have nevet heard any record of the’ great baritone Titta Ruffo put over the air. Recognised as one of the greatest. artists, it seems strange that the. NZBS has never broadcast his tecords. Ruffo created a sensation with his rémarkable voice in the opera Lohengrin. He appeared at Covent Garden, 1903, and at the Albert Hall, 1919.

(Wellington).
(There are only one or two pre-electric recordings of Titta Ruffo in the NZBS library, but they are used occasionally in special programmes. A Ruffo programme will be heard from 2YD in the Stars of the Concert Hall series at 9.0 p.m. on Friday, February 24, and from some of the other stations later.Ed.)
