Dear Gloria,
Enrico Caruso recorded one of Donaudy's songs, "Vaghissima Sembianza",
which favorably showed off the tenor's legato and phrasing abilities, and
is a pleasant, although not the most brilliant piece; at least does
not resort to vocal "fireworks".
Other than that I'm afraid I'm not very acquainted with SD.
