Comments

maybe 2nd issue circa late 1950s.

Inside The Groove

An impressive female soprano popular singing.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

This Italian diva was famous in the 1950s-1960s, performed on stages or in movies, in the U.S. It's surprizing to hear that she made a debut at Carnegie Hall at the age of 13. Unfortunately I didn't know much about her and her music...

Anyway, the music presented in this album is very interesting. Back up orchestra plays so ordinary, but listen to her voice and singing. Very unique and impressive.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

6 out of 10
