Tito Gobbi introduces records of his own choice.
Tito Gobbi first came to England with the company of La Scala, Milan, in 1950, but 1969 marks his first visit to the Edinburgh Festival. He produced Puccini's one-act masterpiece Gianni Schicchi there for the Teatro Comunale of Florence, and also appeared in the title role. This is one of his best-loved parts - the rumbustious. uninhibited rogue who manages to emerge from a miser's nest with the loot.
