Carlo Sabajno

Carlo Sabajno was a prominent Italian conductor, particularly known for his work with the Gramophone Company (later HMV) in the early 20th century. He led many important recordings of complete operas and individual arias, capturing the voices of legendary singers like Beniamino Gigli, Mattia Battistini, and Tito Schipa. His recordings offer a valuable glimpse into the performance practices of the era and preserve the artistry of these iconic vocalists.

While Sabajno's name might not be as instantly recognizable as some of the singers he worked with, his contribution to recorded opera history is undeniable. He was a key figure in establishing the gramophone as a medium for experiencing opera, and his meticulous conducting helped to shape the way these works were heard and understood by a wider audience. He was particularly associated with Italian opera, conducting recordings of works by composers like Verdi, Puccini, and Donizetti.
