  Bergonzi needs no champion here. He was one of the great voices of his era, with a long career.
  
  Smooth, elegant, stylish, Bergonzi was a lyric tenor who could present a credible Radames in his youth. I heard him live several times during the 1960's and loved every note.
  
  Try the Pinkerton under Barbirolli for a prime example of his art.

          Speaking of the "Don", I can thank BRO for selling me ($8 plus shipping) the 1942 Met Don with Pinza and Kipnis under Walter.
          
          Eight great singers, a conductor on fire, dire wartime circumstances, everyone sings and plays like their lives depend on it. Pinza is the only Don worth listening to IMHO (and that includes the young Siepi and John Brownlee).
          
          Check it out.
