Background: The present volume is the sixth 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every Gigli recording released at the time, as well as every published alternative take and, wherever available, unpublished takes.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 Of particular interest in this seventh volume are the previously unpublished 1931 Kingsway Hall version of Tosti's Addio sung in Italian and the Chanson Hindoue from Sadko, a liquid piece of writing exactly suited to Gigli at his suavest.
