Thanks for the tip, Noah; I completely agree that Bonisolli remains hugely under-appreciated. The problem with buying a physical CD now is that shipping costs from the US to Europe are prohibitive, so downloads are the only option.
I thought that Mr. Moore would be interested in a recording of La Fanciulla Del West with Bonisolli, Neblett, and Guelfi singing the leading roles, and in excellent live stereo sound. As Bonisolli is one of my favorite (And most undervalued) tenors, I think that this recording might be the best one available for this opera. It is sold cheaply as a download or as a physical copy on Opera Depot, although I don't know if they ship to the UK.
As a side note, Opera Depot also has the wonderful Corelli and Gobbi Fanciulla Del West in better sound than is available on Opera d'Oro.
