Background: The present volume is the second in a series devoted to Beniamino Gigli's 'singles' - his song and aria recordings not issued as part of complete opera sets. The aim of the series is to include every Gigli recording released at the time, as well as every published alternate take and, wherever available, unpublished takes.

The sides here are presented in the order in which they were recorded. For this Naxos series, restoration engineer Mark Obert-Thorn has remastered his original, critically acclaimed Romophone transfers, cleaning them up further and re-doing some tracks in their entirety. Of special note in this second volume are Gigli's now rare discs of the duet from L'amico Fritz, the liquid quality of his singing of the extracts from Fedora and his first and best version of the famous duet from The Pearl Fishers.
