Del Monaco recorded a number of recital albums for Decca during his recording career and this Original Masters set . the first Decca/Philips set to be devoted to a vocalist . features several of them made between 1952-1969, in a variety of music that ranges from opera to Italian songs and in roles both familiar and unfamiliar.

This 5 CD set of DelMonaco Decca recordings is an outstanding compendium of this great Italian tenor's work during the period 1952-1969. What is outstanding about this collection is that it includes not only operatic arias but Neapolitan songs and other popular songs as well. The only downside to these recordings is that DelMonaco's stentorian style did not fit well with the recording studio sound limitations and therefore do not do justice to the beauty of his voice. The recording of Otello under Von Karajan is perhaps one exception. There are also other historical recordings of DelMonaco on CD singing live performances and one can immediately hear and sense the dramatic power and vocal ability that has in my opinion not been heard since. I saw and heard DelMonaco live at the old Metropolitan Opera and in particular recall a 1957 performance of Otello with Renata Tebaldi and Leonard Warren. DelMonaco's voice, crystal clear, filled the house with ringing tones that easily reached to the "standees" who were positioned behind the Family Circle, almost at the ceiling of the Met. Critics of DelMonaco's recordings always miss the point that a falsetto tone that is used to great effect on a recording cannot often be heard over an orchestra in a live performance. Furthermore, his stentorian style did not interfere with his seriousness as an artist and his insightful interpretations. I have had the priviledge of hearing Corelli, Pavarotti and Domingo live and quite simply none of these great tenors matched DelMonaco for the intensity of his vocal and dramatic ability.
