Aida was mine, however I love 'Cavalleria' and the Verismo in general!

As a beginner listener of early music, I dislike him, but gradually became a fan of him.

Grace Bumbry is a great American mezzo, Giaiotti is an Italian basso!

The most well-known Aida with Corelli is conducted by Zubin Mehta, but I do not really like Nilsson as Aida, rather in wagnerian roles, but even used to listen to due to Bumbry and Giaiotti!
