'œThis is the first book to be published in English on Titta Ruffo (1877-1953), the Caruso of baritones and a steadfast antifascist. It is an anthology of articles, interviews, and contemporary reviews, many translated especially for this collection.... Numerous illustrations of Ruffo, a chronology of his public appearances, a complete discography, and an excellent bibliography add reference value. ... Through the interweaving of the articles and reviews, the aura of the operatic world in this period is evoked. Recommended for all libraries with an interest in opera.''
