A Forgotten Great Baritone A Forgotten Great Baritone
Posted by: primobaritono

Video duration: 265 seconds

Giuseppe Danise was a Met baritone in the 20's and beginning 30's. Hardly anyone remembers this great artist today which is very sad indeed. He deserves a place among the greatest of baritones.
I only had one picture of Danise so I used some of the composer Leoncavallo as well. He's the guy with the awesome mustache lol.
PS: Sorry for the bad cut in this Prologue.
