Aureliano Pertile was apparently a tenor in the pre lineage of Mario Del Monaco along with several others we will cover on this site as time goes by. Lets get to work and let you here this great voice, albeit a dated recording you can still hear the quality of his voice.
I am sure you will agree its a great emotional rendition of "E Lucevan Le Stelle"
Aureliano Pertile was known as a Lyric-Dramatic Tenor and was highly thought of as one of the most important tenors of the inbetween war periods if not the whole 20th century. His voice was not without its critics and some described his voice as ugly but as usual we are talking about one of the most controversial subjects i the world here.
He did thought become leading tenor at La Scala in Milan, and was said to have been the favourite singer of the principal conductor Arturo Toscanini. Lets end this with another aria for you to listen to. A real Tenor Warhorse here ! Manrico,s Aria
