The Complete Vanni-Marcoux

Vanni-Marcoux’s (1877 – 1962) career in opera roughly-spanned the first half of the last century. Marcoux made his debut as Wagner in Gounod's Faust in Bayonne in 1900; was a guest at Covent Garden every year between 1905 and 1912; created the roles of Guido Colonna (Monna Vanna) and Panurge; performed with the Boston Opera, Chicago Opera, the Colón, and La Scala; appeared in film; and ended his career as the director of the Opera in Bordeaux. His recording career began late (1924), yet Marcoux made approximately 120 sides, leaving a legacy that is well-loved by many and is highly sought-after. His voice is rich and expressive and his diction is near perfect, which alludes to his reputation as a great actor.
