Te felicito y sanamene te envidio. Ahora soy octogenario pero cuando muy joven recuerdo a mi abuela que me intodujo en la opera y me hablaba mucho de Titta Ruffo y otros grandes de su epoca que ahora gracias a Internet tengo la oportunidad de saborear sus voces cual un manjar..Saludos Alfredo en Santiago de Chile
a uno intenditore questa voce meravigliosa non piace ?! conosco il suo nome, e' il vecchio baritono di zarzuéla Placido Domingo ... Titta Ruffo - un nome leggendario, immortale.
Obviously did not know that the lyrics are made for a woman singer, singing of her love of a torero. Is comical to hear this voice saying the lyric a woman! Beautiful voice by the way...
Who didn't know that, you or Ruffo? Because Spanish baritone Emilio Sagi Barba also recorded this cuplé, and I guess he understood the lyrics. Why should we be more surprised to hear this song in a male voice than to listen to Schubert's serenade or "Maria Mari" sung by a soprano?
