   Beautiful recording of Lilli Lehmann, from 1907. She shows not only her wonderful dramatic coloratura and her high D’s but also she had a good low register as well with well supported low B’s.
   Lilli Lehmann was a dramatic soprano with immense versatility and a prodigious 3+ octave range. She was the most celebrated Norma of the turn of the 19th/20th century, and often referenced by Maria Callas.

I happened to be a young music student in those parts and one of my professors interviewed her. Never being a hard-core student of opera, I didn’t realize until years later what a giant she was.

5. Ken, that song was very popular with both Axis and Allied troops and was recorded in many different languages during the war. Canadian troops involved in some tough fighting in Italy wrote some new words using the same tune.
