This article focuses on various music performances. The audience's yelling at the Metropolitan Opera performance of "Otello" the author attended was some thing one could understand. But the yelling for Del Monaco was beyond comprehension. His voice was more bearable than at the close microphone-range of records, but even at a distance it was unpleasantly dry, rasping, and gritty. "Telefunken TM-68025" offers beautiful singing and phrasing by the soprano Margot Guilleaume. "Oiseau-Lyre DL-53004" offers the engaging ode, "Come Ye Sons of Art," sung by Margaret Ritchie, soprano Alfred Deller and John Whitworth, with chorus and orchestra under Anthony Lewis.
