Petre Ştefănescu Goangă (b.1902 - d. 1973)was a great Romanian singer and teacher (his most famous pupil was Ludovic Spiess, but there were many others). He studied with the great Felia Litvinne in Paris. Because of the communist regime he didn't have a great international career, but he was very appreciated in his country. The most recordings with him were made, when he was about 60 or over 60. There is a wobble in his voice, because he was a man of very big proportions and by this age he had problems because of this. Mr. Joseph Shore made some comparisons with baritones singing the prologue and according to him Warren was the winner. Well according to me it is Goanga. :) By the way, Warren was Goanga's favourite baritone.
