I grew up with this recording on LP. It still brings tears to my eyes, just like the first time I heard it.

Sextetten ur Lucia di Lammermoor är bland det vackraste som finns i operarepertoaren. Hörde just en färsk version på Metropolitan i New York. Den grep tag!

I have this exact same recording. It is a record that holds real significance for it was this one, above all others, that first sent me cartwheeling into the sparkling galaxy that is opera. On a scratchy old farm gramophone I would play it in my room long after everybody had gone to bed - again and again and again and again. The world was different for as long as that record played. I still play it occasionally - on that same old gramophone - and while it lasts, I'm a breathless 12 year old again - on the brink of a life-changing discovery - lost in space where time does not exist.

I am absolutely amazed at the sound quality of this recording! It must be in the vicinity of 90 years old. I'm always in awe of Caruso's voice. No matter what the role.

"What from vengeance now restrains me?" 95 years cannot dilute the emotion, the voices. The mighty Caruso all but steals away from the intended soprano lead. Thank you for posting!

It doesn't get any better than this. I'm sorry there's only a "like" or "dislike" - there should be a "loved it!"

Electrifying---moves me every time I play it--what voices.

Unbelieveably beautiful! First heard this recording about 60 years ago as kid. Loved it from the get-go. I don't think it has ever been surpassed.
