Renato Zanelli - Un di, all' azzurro spazio - r. 1929

Born in 1892, Zanelli was Chilean by birth with an Italian father. He sang at the Met as a baritone from 1919-1922. However, he found some roles to be too heavy for his voice. So, in 1923 he went to Italy to retrain his voice and emerged from it as a tenor. He came to be regarded as the principal Italian Heldentenor of his day. His Otello was likened to that of the great Francesco Tamagno. This beautiful 1929 recording of Un di, all' azzurro spazio from Andrea Chenier is one of his best. Zanelli died at the early age of 43 in 1935. Enjoy this rarely heard recording of a truly great artist with a magnificently gorgeous voice.
