For those of us who do not understand Russian, this performance by Giorgio Tozzi is absolutely marvelous. This is so much better than following with a libretto or reading subtitles. What a voice! What a great performance!
Such wonderful memories I have of working on this aria with dear Giorgio! I brought in a different translation and he recalled this one and had me change it. It's a much better translation!!
If Siepi was the King of Bassos surely Tozzi was the Crown Prince. The warmth and legato of his singing is unparalleled.

He was still a treasure later on when he did "Most Happy Fella" singing "My heart is so full of you"---God,he was marvelous!
