Richard Tucker - Un di all’azzurro spazio (Improvviso)

Thanks to pearlmuth3 for sending me this excellent Met Record Club recording of Andrea Chenier with Richard Tucker in the title role. Here is the Improvviso sung as well as it will ever be sung. Many people consider Tucker as the ultimate interpreter of the famous revolutionary. The vocal line and ease of production are unparalleled by any other spinto tenor of his time. Photos are of Tucker and his family, his wife Sara and sons Barry, David and Henry.
