Ruggero Raimondi: RECITAL (on Elektra/Asylum) - one of the best renderings of Tosti's "L'ultima canzone" I've heard from any singer; also several other songs by Tosti, Brogi, Denza, and Rotoli, all interpreted wonderfully by Raimondi's warm, dark baritone voice.
Enrico Caruso: IN SONG - Volumes 1 and 2 (on Nimbus/Prima Voce) - mostly Italian songs, but also features some goodies like "Over There" by George M. Cohan and "Ombra mai fu" from Handel's SERSE (Vol. 1). Vol. 2 is all Italian songs.
