A te o cara

Miguel Fleta (1897(1893?)-1938)singing O te, o cara, amor talora from Bellini's Puritani recorded for Victor in 1923. I had posted his La Donna E Mobile yesterday but this is a better record. Born in Spain, his potential was not realized until he was in his
20's. He spent most of the 1920's in America at the Met and in Chicago. He developed a wobble early on which curtailed his career. Probably one of the three most important Spanish tenors of the period (others being Cortis and Lazaro - more of them to follow).
