[ARSCLIST] Audio Catalogue - Titta Ruffo

[Mike Richter <mrichter@xxxxxxx>]

I've written of this before, but realize that those with interest (and 
broadband) are welcome to a real version of what I call an audio 
catalogue. It is of the Italian baritone, Titta Ruffo and can be 
downloaded without charge from
  http://rapidshare.de/files/24935902/ruffo.zip

This is an 'easy listening' version of all of his recordings taking only 
97 MB. On DVD-ROM and CD-ROM it is accompanied by a less edited copy in 
high-rate MP3; on the DVD-ROM, the less edited files are also available 
in WAV.

Already on the WWW are the four CD-ROMs surveying opera from Bulgaria:

Comments are welcome, but my purpose here is only to indicate the 
advantage of having not only the 'card file' information but immediate 
access to the processed recordings. From there, the researcher can seek 
better source material as needed, though for some purposes the low-rate, 
lossy files will suffice.
