Enrico Caruso - The Greatest Recordings of Italy's greatest tenor 

this is why Italian people were thinking of him as a family when he died.... RIP great one!

Thanks you so much. Sending back love from France ❤️

Sono d'accordo con te. Caruso era il piu` bella voce sul mundo, ma per tutt'eternita`!! Dr. Gennaro Giammarino, III

🎉🎉🎉😢 nessuno è pari a lui.

It is true... you can hear it ... :)

Sec9nd greatest tenoe

Words like "greatest" have little meaning when it comes to tenors!! I'm sure you wouldn't like to hear that I am more than satisfied to hear other tenors such as Carreras, Pavarotti, Gigli, Zenatello, and Villazon depending on circumstances...

Welcome aboard the opera train! Glad to have you. I'm 73 and overjoyed to hear your reaction.

you sir, can read my levitten.

I'm so happy for you. Opera can enrich our life. I am 80 years old and has always been solace and joy to my soul.

Just imagine being able to listen to him on a daily basis on the original shellac records. I own 9 of them. I don’t even touch them with my fingers they’re so fragile. They date from 1908-1927

I am glad for you that you made a wonderful discovery for yourself early enough. Don't stop: there are still many amazing surprises ahead of you!

Только после Джильи и Скипы.

Un grandissimo Tenore del suo tempo. Viva ENRICO CARUSO per sempre.

Gigli.

Это можно сказать о каждом выдающемся вокалисте.

Bene fache!

I think so.

Thanks for sharing this story !

На самом деле всё было наоборот, и вопрос принадлежал Карузо, слегка кокетничающему, разумеется.

Why Caruso? Past Life Experience they say😇

Thank you for allowing younger generations to hear this timeless beauty❤

Gracias por compartir esta grabación. Caruso ¡¡ incomparable!!!

고음에서도내지르는듯한거친소리가없고자연스럽습니다 코렐리,브욜링,질리와도또다릅니다

My thoughts exactly.

perhaps because he is the least insipid of tenors? (he's not insipid at all!)

Concordo in pieno.

@@salvatorespinelli1328 my Father sang in Opera with him he was a leading Tenor in the Chorus at the Covent Garden in London from 1909 till 1940, he heard all the greats of that Period Martinelli whom he and I also greatly admired Taccani Zenatello Pertile Lauri Volpi Gigli Melchior Tauber Roswaenge Lorenz Borgioli and on and on, he said that Caruso was simply unique and was in another universe from all the others, many had beautiful or Dramatic or lyrical or even both, but he said if you were near Caruso you would hear all of his voice the Sheer Strength and Power his Dynamics his empathy for what he was singing , his voice was large and luscious he had all the combinations and an equally superb Lower Register. I have said before those who say he did not have an High C are talking complete sorry to swear "Bollocks" . he certainly used it in London when he appeared regularly, in Huguenots Faust and even in Puritani which he sang at the London Coliseum in 1911, in other Opera's as well, my father wrote in his diary that in a performance of Faust with Melba Journet and Amato, he sang the Salut Demeure with such emotion and with immensly Beautiful tone with a ringing High C that would go to the back of the Theatre and Come back to the stage, that even Melba was crying, the performance was stopped and the Great Tenor was applauede by everyone on stage on the side stage Audience Mr Pitt the Conductor and the Orchestra, emotion was always with Caruso like no other Tenor. Melba upon hearing of Caruso's death said that the Greatest of all singers was now with the almighty, he will be eternally remembered I will miss him greatly. Melba was quite a stubborn lady who did not like Italians whom she thought were rude, she obviously did that for show, her love for Caruso's voice never left her either. My Father lived long enough to hear all the best Tenors from the war up till his Death in 1979 , he told me many times there was still no one to touch him, that included Del Monaco Corelli Bjorling Domigo Pavarotti Di Stefano Etc, he did say the Young Di Stefano was a joy to listen to and he thought Domingo wasa Baritone and a Light one, Pavorotti he said should keep to Bellini and Donizetti he is a pure Lyrical Beautiful voice, he also heard a certain Mario Lanza twice in London at the Royal gala's at the Palladium, is opinion of him that he was overbearing and a showman with a good voice that should have been trained properly, he had poor breath control. I can say I am now in my 104th Year, I am housebound and I can say personally I cannot listen to modern opera singers, the screaming poncy Tenors , to fake singers like Florez and that awful man Vogt, Kauffman needs to find out where he gets that Horrible throaty sound from , it seems to come from his toes, he is NOT a good tenor Villazon when I first heard him had beauty, but he thought he was Caruso and paid the price, Netrebko I saw in St Petersburg in 1995, a beautiful light lyrical Soprano, now its like watching a Circus, Singing in its true Operatic form is becoming extinct, it need not happen, stop the training of so called Pop Singing Opera Stars, tell them fill their chest with air start singing with the Mouth opened drop their Jaw, let the true voice pour out Chest notes not these mamby pamby notes from the Mak that sound like mice squeking, I am sure Caruso could Fart stronger than most Modern Singers he or Martinelli or Melchior did not need Microphones why because they were trained to project the voice and to use their Chest. Oh my God I am going astray, sorry Caruso is Immortal the rest are below his qualities as a Man Singer and all round Decent Human being. Prynhawn da oes gwelwch yn dda.

@@robertevans8010 dear Mr.Evans, what did your late father say about maestro Gigli? Maestro had a very rich lyrical tenor, though he could sing Otello and Radames after his 50, when his voice had naturally darkened. But still, it was so gentle and rich, was it not?

@@robertevans8010 Beautiful comments

@@robertevans8010 Очень интересно

Everybody!

Неточная формулировка. Фонограф сделал его голос всемирно известным, но великим певцом он уже был до своей первой звукозаписи.

Como decía Lauri Volpi: para cantar se necesita voce, orecchio ed anima.

How then were they recorded? Thanks

Que grande!!

Agree 100%

I agree. Caruso had an acoustic like lungs. His sound was born on the bottom of his lungs. Listen carefully.

He was,Indeed, the greatest and will never be equalled. Grazie,Enrico

oiui k non iii nnnnkl ggg tgg

True ❤️

Well he did Record with Tito Ruffo the duet from Verdi Otello Based on Shakespeare Othello on Thursday January 8th 1914 Just Eight Months before World War One Broke out on Tuesday August 4th 1914 a war that was going too claim 10 Million lives before it finally ended at 11am on Monday November 11th 1918

Eddie, I think what Caruso does is beyond art, it is Divine. It is as if a G-d’ angel is moving his heart and vocal cords.

@@martincook318, wenn wir heute am Rand des WK3 nicht aufpassen und dem kein Ende setzen, werden bald noch ein oder zwei Nullen (00) mehr dran gehängt. Sehr schlimm.

Don't forget Leonardo DaVinci. ❤❤❤

Yes, for you and all of us opera lovers.

Well said my friend

EQUALIZER Variante (update Einstellung!) *©2024* HL, Germany. *-* 0,4 dB (60Hz) -12,9 dB (230Hz) -15,0 dB (910Hz) -15,0 dB (4kHz) +15,0 dB (14kHz) Die kleine Mühe der EQ- Einstellung lohnt sich.... Bitte vergleichen Sie ab 4:24 oder 10:32 mit/ohne EQ ... ein etwas getrübtes 'Portrait' wird bemerkenswert schärfer. Auch an 'Surrogatparametern' (Instrumente oder *Text)* ist der realistischere Klang erkennbar. Warum, kann man am Graph der Funktion, die aus der *genauen* Regler-Position (kein preset; manuell *präzise* einrichten) resultiert und eine Crescendo-Verstärkung der hohen Frequenzen zeigt, diskutieren: Er erscheint im Display. Wiesehr hochwertige Lautsprecher klangverbessernd wirken, ist bekannt. Dass schon ein EQ das Ergebnis günstig beeinflussen kann, ist weniger geläufig.

Thanks for commenting :)

Der Eintrag wird ergänzt, weil's viele unterschiedliche EQ gibt. Er bezieht sich hier auf eine *'Bass Booster App' (apk) - ohne* Zuschalten des BASS BOOST. Die meisten bedienen an ihrem Gerät/Handy Bluetooth ja korrekt: Bitte Audio-Output Stereo, 'Advanced settings' überprüfen, *'Compatibility* Mode' der App 🎧 und evtl 'Sound Field FLAT' Ihrer Anlage (den BBoost nicht - oder vorsichtig verwenden). Auf *Artikulation* bzw Instrumente achten, dann wird der Effekt deutlich: Einige denken, das sei weniger wichtig; - es *ist* wichtig! "Ohr des Dionysios" - nur Aufnahmehorn, ohne Mikro. Ziemlich beeindruckend. Der "Samt" in Enricos Stimme ist nun da. Die Qualität nähert sich dem Original. Modulation mit 'Bass Booster App': Der Klangcharakter der Stimmen wird dadurch nicht geändert. Weil jedoch die mMn. *kaum hörbaren* Obertonanteile >>2kHz crescendo-verstärkt werden, gewinnt die neue Wiedergabe relevant Brillanz (selbst die Akustik wirkt echt) und *Text* ist gut *verständlich.* Eine 'Zeitreise..'

EQ-Regelung ist *KEINE* Änderung einer mgl. zugrunde liegenden Restauration. Sie wirkt z.B. wie eine 'Kirchenorgel stimmen' oder eine 'OhrBrille' und kann (bei alten Aufnahmen fast stets) zu brillanterem Hörkontrast der Wiedergabe führen. Das Schöne ist, dass es ohne großen Aufwand erreicht wird. Wer die Musikanlage vom Handy aus (Bluetooth Audio) steuert, sollte damit keine Probleme haben. Intensität der BBooster-(EQ) App bitte *voll ausnutzen;* Gesamtlautstärke ggf auf der externen Anlage einstellen! Es ist NICHT leicht, mittels eines EQ eine merkliche Besserung der Klangqualität antiker Aufnahmen zu *finden!* Hierzu gibt's *kein* Preset. Die angegebene Präzisionseinstellung© hat hunderte Stunden kleiner Schritte der Verfeinerung erfordert (durch Abgleich vieler historischer Aufnahmen u. a. von ECaruso, LTetrazzini, Orgel, Violine, Klavier usw. - mit WFurtwängler, ATatum, KRichter, ACortot, SFiorentino etc), um alle Praxistests zu bestehen. Insofern ist nur *exakte, genaueste* ! Befolgung wirklich "zielführend in die 1. Reihe".

I agree all that has been said about Caruso and have listened and enjoyed his singing since I was 13 years old and I am no 89 years old

é vero

Его превзошёл тот, кто учился на его записях - Марио Ланца. А Паваротти , Каррерас и Доминго признавали гениальность Ланца.

Try listening to one from your own generation who carries Caruso's torch today. His name is Jonas Kaufman who is widely considered to be today's greatest tenor. He has easily filled the shoes of Pavarotti, Carreras and Placido Domingo. These gentlemen have courageously carried that operatic torch that they inherited from the great Caruso. Also check out Mario Lanza from the 1950's who brilliantly followed in Caruso's footsteps. Mario's recordings shine partly because the technological expertise for recording was not present in Caruso's lifetime.

Cindy S. Collins It’s feminazis’ fault.

A new face and voice has appeared in Britain, Maxwell Thorpe. Gave me chills hearing him sing like I do with Caruso and Domingo.

@@belindawilliams3728. Jonas Kaufman? Come on?!?! Pavarotti and Carreras are too sweet for my taste. They did not inherit anything from Caruso. While Monaco, Corelli and Bjorling were perfect. Their voice technique however was completely different.

@@robynkroetz1311. I have been listening to Gigli for almost 65 years. Gigli was not Caruso. Different voices and characters. Gigli did not replace Caruso in my heart.

Az operaénekes Caruzo 19. században Nápolyban született. Később nagyon sok követője lett.

"sound" as an adjective? circular...

otherwise, I'm tempted to agree!

that is true until you hear the older singers and understand that were better ones.....like Alessandro Bonci...Adelina Patti, Rosa POnselle and others.....research

@@rubyedelman2445 how recherché!
