About This Item
VAI has answered our prayers by giving us the next two volumes of Voice of Firestone telecasts. Both the picture and sound of these treasures have never been seen before in such excellent technical shape. If you love these singers or have nostalgia for a long gone era, I urge you to acquire as many volumes in this series as VAI issues. You will be amply rewarded! -- David Reynolds, American Record Guide (Nov/Dec 2024) THE ITALIANS The Golden Age of Singing All performances digitally remastered for the first time This collection of performances by legendary Italian singers and singers of Italian descent includes several selections available for the first time. 1.
