Giovanni Martinelli, the celebrated Italian tenor, recorded two famous arias from French opera on HMV's D-series: 'Salut demeure chaste et pure' from Gounod's Faust and 'La Fleur que tu m'avais jetée' from Bizet's Carmen. Martinelli was one of the great voices of the early 20th century and remained active in recording through the 1930s–1940s. These are cornerstone operatic recordings.
