Richard Crooks was a celebrated American tenor, known for operatic and concert repertoire. This V-Disc pressing, a non-commercial recording made for US Armed Forces during World War II, carries 'Una furtiva Lagrima' (a famous tenor aria from Donizetti's *L'elisir d'amore*) and 'Largo' (presumably by Handel or another classical composer, with Ezio Pinza perhaps as partner or comparison).
