He was ubiquitous at one time, but what would we consider his signature roles these days? I actually can't think, off hand, of a single role where he would be the preferred tenor, or not even a top 3. This feels odd to me, given his reputation, but he was singing at a time when we had a large number of tenors covering the same roles. Di Stefano, Bjorling, Bergonzi, del Monaco, Vickers (before he became almost purely heroic), Pavarotti, Wunderlich, Domingo, etc. In my collection, I think I might have a collaboration with Callas, and then his performance of Benvenuto Cellini.
