Robert Picardo did not sing this song

He answered a question in an interview about this:

Did you do all of the singing on the show?

I get asked constantly by the fans if I did all of the singing on the show and the fact is that I did almost all of my singing. I did all of my singing except for the second half of [#133 Virtuoso]. The Don Carlo duet and Rondino al Nido are voiced by an opera singer Augostino Castellnano (I hope I spelled that correctly). (For instance, the Tincoo hologram's aria was, deliberately so, too musically difficult and required a professional singer.) He's a terrific guy. I simply couldn't sing high enough or well enough to pull them off, but I did my own singing in [The Swarm], [Tinker, Tenor...], [Renaissance Man], [Someone to Watch Over Me] and all the others.

Picardo probably means Agostino Castagnola —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.36.229.127 (talk) 20:58, 11 August 2010 (UTC) Insert non-formatted text here[reply]

I've removed Picardo from the list of performers and changed the notes for Star Trek. Thanks for the advice! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 09:38, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

11 years old?

De Crescenzo was born in 1915 and had written it in 1926? Really?--93.215.79.254 (talk) 12:46, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The composer of this piece is probably not https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenzo_De_Crescenzo, not only because the age but also because he was a lyricist, not a music composer. But there is an older V. De Crescenzo who was a composer with several of his works available in IMSLP: https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:De_Crescenzo,_Vincenzo 64.225.166.71 (talk) 09:29, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Other ancient recordings and more data about the true author of this song

The Discography of American Historical Recordings ( https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/names/109964 ) about Vincenzo De Crescenzo (1875-1964) has two early recordings of this song:

Victor matrix BVE-36928. Rondini al nido / Beniamino Gigli. New York, 1926. (https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/matrix/detail/800011181/BVE-36928-Rondini_al_nido)

Victor matrix BS-92022. Rondine al nido / Giovanni Martinelli. New York, 1935 (https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/matrix/detail/200020437/BS-92022-Rondine_al_nido)

The DiscoGS web site has a page for each one of the two composers called Vicenzo De Crescenzo, attributing this song to the wrong one (IMO):

https://www.discogs.com/es/artist/4684024-Vincenzo-de-Crescenzo-2

https://www.discogs.com/es/artist/837676-Vincenzo-de-Crescenzo

Anyway, this article is not wrong, because there is not (yet) an article about the composer of the song on this Wikipedia. 64.225.166.71 (talk) 22:55, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
