Query: You must own this recording!!!!

This recording is a must have. Bjoerling is at his vocal and dramatic peak on this recording. All his arias ("Un Grande Spetacolo", "Un tal giocco" "Vesti la Giubba", and "No! Pagliaccio non son!") are all flawlessly sung. Leonard Warren's performance of the sinister Tonio has never been matched. Warren sings the difficult "Prologo" with great ease and aplomb. A virtual voice lesson. De Los Angeles is exquisite as Nedda and her "Qual Fiamma Avea Nel Guardo...Hui! Stridono Lassu (Song of the Birds)" will melt your heart. Another luxury this recording holds is the magificently rich baritone voice of Robert Merrill as Silvio, Nedda's village lover, who sings the treacherously high tessitura of this role magnificently. Renato Cellini does a wonderful job of conducting the RCA Victor Orchestra. Do yourself a favor and make this recording yours. You won't regret it.
