This is one of the older Met broadcasts to appear in the Sirius
rebroadcast series. It’s also one of the best, with Baccaloni and
Sayao in very top form. This is also available in MOoD.
Sayao and Baccaloni have a lot of charm in our only broadcast from the 40s this week This is also on Met Player, and it’s good to hear why Baccaloni and Sayao were so beloved. What personality even in 1940 AM sound.”
