PIPORG-L automatic digest system skrev:
It has been recorded by a host of stars,
including Celine Dion and Mariah Carey.
How short the public memory! It was recorded by Caruso, no less, in 1916
- and, less well known, it was one of two pieces in the first ever
broadcast music programme, recorded by the Canadian singer Reginald
Fessenden in 1906 (the other piece being Händel's “Ombra mai fu”).
