The Great Chaliapin Sings "Vi Ravviso" From Bellini's La Sonnambula 1912

One does not usually think of the great Russian bass as a singer of Italian bel canto opera arias, but this recording of "Vi ravviso..." demonstrates clearly that Chaliapin could in fact sing anything he put his mind to, and very convincingly indeed. He was vocally endowed with all the abilities a singing bass could possibly hope for: range, legato, dramatic intensity, and a rather remarkable flexibility.
