  2. Is there a link for the Tagliavini recital, or is it included in Tosca ?
    Thank you.

    1. Nope: due to re-uploading a lot of material on the HISTORICAL blog I haven't yet completed editing all the tracks from the ancient recital LP.

    Thanks.

    1. THAT MAY NOW BE THE CASE!!!

      Without MediaFire (and MegaUpload...) making files available without down-loaders experiencing VAST difficulties seems 'impossible'..so there's no longer 'any point' as cannot put everything onto just Sendspace/Hotfile...just tried Crocko/Filepost- but they are hopeless too..

      Personally, I don't think people *really care* so am sorely-tempted to call-it-a-day.

      Anyway..this SUPERB Tosca would now be expensive - and have saved 'someone' quite a few $$$'s..

      Ho Ho !!!

    Much appreciated -- I wish I had dared be effusive,
    but I was under some pressure about the uploading of downloads,
    and shy even of thanking someone of your integrity
    and generosity.
    I owe you a great deal of succour during my extended illness.
    Thank you again and again!
