Producer's Note
The present volume is the tenth in a series devoted to Beniamino Gigli's 'singles' - his song and aria recordings not issued as part of complete opera sets. The aim of the series is to include every Gigli recording released at the time, as well as every published alternate take and, wherever available, unpublished takes. The sides here are presented in the order in which they were recorded except for the two Traviata duets, which are presented in the order in which they appear in the opera.
The selections in the current volume were originally issued in 2002 on Romophone 82023-2 ('Beniamino Gigli - The Complete HMV Recordings, 1938-40').

Tracks 1 and 4 sung in German
Track 3 sung in Italian and German
All other tracks sung in Italian
