Otello: "Sì, pel ciel marmoreo giuro!"

A 1914 recording by Titta Ruffo and Enrico Caruso of Giuseppe Verdi's Otello.

"Only one recording of these survive, the duet "Sì, pel ciel" from Otello. It is considered by many vocal connoisseurs to be the greatest single vocal record ever made. Among many other vocal feats in this recording, Ruffo, unlike any other Iago on records, manages an incredible, declamatory vocal style from beginning to end. Caruso rises to the challenge, and the result is unequalled by any other recorded tenor-baritone combination in recorded history." - Titta Ruffo.

Comment I Noticed that the statement for this recording is "unequalled by any other recorded tenor-baritone combination in recorded history." is an unsourced statement in the article. Can you provide a citation of this? Zginder 2009-01-29T20:00Z (UTC)
- Well, I didn't write that text, but it seems commensurate with Google Scholar's results on the recording. For instance, This one calls it "That paragon of recorded duets". Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 21:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support - sufficient for Wikipedia Featured Sounds, it's important historical recording with a good sound. No need to insert uncited pompous statements... --Vejvančický (talk) 09:21, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
