Carlo Galeffi (1882-1961) was a leading Italian baritone, particularly associated with the operatic works of Giuseppe Verdi and the various verismo composers. Wiki
Galeffi was reputed to have the most beautiful of all baritone voices. I think De Luca,Gobbi7 stracciari among the Italian school would have something to say about that. Mind you it was a very lovely sound. Henry Webb
Galeffi was, by all standards , an outstanding baritone. His voice, while being expressive, was far from being the most beautiful among the many outstanding baritones of the twentieth century. Personally, I regard him highly as an artist and enjoy his recordings immensely.
