Rare FILM of Apollo Granforte - Largo al factotum [Il barbiere di Siviglia] - 1932
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxFOQVsE2Oo
This is the only known film footage of the one of the very GREATEST Italian baritones Apollo Granforte. It is extremely rare footage and probably rarely, if ever, has been seen by anyone outside of Australia, where it was filmed in 1932. The audio of the transfer was pitched a half-tone too high. Since no baritone in his right mind would transpose the Largo *UP* on purpose, I have re-pitched the audio to its true key. As a result, Granforte's voice takes on it the more sonorous quality that we know from his studio recordings.

Apollo Granforte (1886-1975) was a magnificient Italian baritone with one of the greatest timbres any baritone has ever had. His complete recordings of Otello and Andrea Chenier are of remarkably high quality for their time and definitely worth having. This Prologue was recorded in 1927.
