Aureliano Pertile (9 November 1885 – 11 January 1952) was an Italian tenor, who ranks among the most important tenors of the 20th century.
Verismo Machismo
In all his La Scala roles, Pertile achieved compelling dramatic results despite possessing a voice that was not especially suave or beautiful. It was sometimes even described by critics as "brutta" (ugly). – Wikipedia

Though collectors have found
That the Pertile sound
Can lead to tendentious debates.
