Thanks for the extra info about that album, Doug.
When you mentioned "Ballet Music from Aida," I was somewhat confused because I know Aida is an opera - I have a copy of a performance of Aida on DVD, with Placido Domingo. So, I take it, the music from Aida was arranged for a ballet?
I think a recording of Mario Lanza singing Pagliacci - Vesti la Giubba would sound great on a Magnavox. Perhaps I should look for such a recording, along with the "Ballet Music from Aida." I attended a performance of Pagliacci in Louisville last summer. The tenor was OK, but was no Lanza. Of course, after hearing Lanza, other tenors tend to pale by comparison. Just my opinion.
