The recent triumph ‘of this great baritone at Covent Garden was to be expected after his successes on the Continent, where he was pronounced by the critics to be one of the greatest artists of the time.
Itis with pleasure that we are able to offer three splendid solos by this famous singer, besidesthree selections from Ernani, including two made with the assistance of the chorus of La Scala, Milan.

The respective admirers of Battistini and Ruffo in Europe are now engaged in a warm argument as to which is the greater artist. This is a question which the Victor will not attempt to decide, but will be content to offer records of both singers and leave the judgment to the public.
The record of the thrilling Ernani finale which we present is one of the most remarkable concerted records ever issued. Battistini as Don Carlos is supported by artists, chorus and orchestra of La Scala; and under the direction of Maestro Sabaino these forces have surpassed themselves.
