Description The greatest rendition of this aria. Effortless singing with stupendous breath-control and wonderfully sweet lyricism. John McCormack was a grand master of belcanto. Funny anecdote: Lawrence Tibbett and John McCormack got into a friendly argument about their respective B-flats. "I can sing a better B-flat than you can" Tibbett proclaimed and produced a sample. McCormack grinned and replied "Maybe so...but I get more money for my B-flats than you do." This ended the argument.
