 Bechi sang relatively little outside Italy, but did appear in England and North and South America in the late 1950s, but by then he was past his best.In his prime, Bechi possessed a dark and incisive voice and was a fine singing actor.He can be heard in a number of early recordings, opposite Beniamino Gigli, such as "Un ballo in maschera", "Aida", "Andrea Chénier", and "Cavalleria rusticana", conducted by Pietro Mascagni himself.
