Cavalleria Rusticana (Rural Honor) -Mascagni A mono recording dating from circa 1951
A great, dirt-covered find.  After much cleaning, a gem has been revealed!  The brilliance of the performance is equalled by the brilliance of the recording. Based on a short story, Mascagni's opera is a compact, musical gem -- rather like a three act opera, without the first two acts.  If you don't like opera, give this one a try.  Despite its effective storytelling, it's short on words, long on great music. Two further notes of interest; The cover art was painted by a William Ward Beecher, and these are the finest MPEG3 files I have made so far -- they have the smallest file size, and the highest audio quality.  Abundanza!
