Notes
Release included an informative booklet and recording dates and locations.[From the Cover Notes:]
All the recordings included here come from Gigli's prime, the years between 1926 and 1940, when the tone was at its most golden, an easeful sound that pleases the ear in whatever register its owner chooses to employ it. Its individuality of timbre and phrasing are Gigli's own, wholly distinctive in character, a delight for ever.
The programme assembled here represents the best of what would be heard towards the end of one of Gigli's recitals and then continued in the encores. Known generically as Neapolitan songs, they do not by any means all originate in Italy, some derive from such popular sources; others were purpose-written for popular artists to sing.
