Yield to Caruso and no one else.It's wonderful that you and I may prefer our favorites over Caruso, but it's also important to keep things in their proper prospective.My favorites are Di Stefano, Del Monaco Corelli and the great Lauri Volpi.I do enjoy other wonderful tenors like Cortis,Campagnano,Barioni,Fillipeschi,Pertile,Bjorling,De Muro,& Schipa. For true understanding of how an aria or song should be sung or interpreted ,I do turn to Caruso.Enjoy

Pav. was definitely a fine lyric tenor with beautiful diction & technique.However I did feel that Pav.sung through some arias with these 2 attributes, but otherwise sang as if it were an exercise and not really interpreting well or with feeling.Other than "O Sole Mio" his Neapolitan songs were really less than desirable.Caruso was the foundation & original interpreter for every tenor that followed.This is partly the reason why great tenors like Pav.Corelli,Del Monaco&many others yield to Caruso&

Struggente, intenso fin dai primi accenti. Tratteggia con intelligenza ogni sfumatura di questo Eroe decadente mirabilmente ritratto, in quest'aria interpretativamente difficilissima, nell'atto di declinare il paradigma della sua fragilità ed insieme della sua grandezza. Commovente. Nessuno meglio di Caruso sa raccontare la differenza fra emozione e sentimento. Irraggiungibile.

I agree that what Caruso was at this best was the dramatic in music, the emotion, the character--that was the greatest aspect of Caruso. Same as Callas, the ability to make every moment alive with emotion and communication. Pavaorotti I think had a more beautiful voice because he had a natural harmonic.

Flawless.. ancient recording or not.

Record the modern tenor or any singer with the old techniques of recording and the answer to who is best will be known. They dare not do it, because the truth will be known!

mrmeanmachine1971

the emotion etc in his singing is very hard to hear as its all mono and poorquality recordeing i agree with the one calling caruso the best . I read about him beeing a bari-tenor. correct i always forget his name tough there is one that had a range of no less then 5 octaves (only veryvery few have that like roy orbison and m carrey) really love him too but he's no caruse nor is/was Paverrotie (tremendes voice btw and good second or 3th anyway)

First...it was a long time ago... second..please be-carefoul, becouse Caruso it was not a full Tenor, was a bari-tenor, thats the reason of Pavarotti Idol...Caruso was the only classic sanger whi can singing deep and high......very impressfull and difficult.

@wiseroldfart Don't know which recording you refer to as the best Jussi recording of this aria? I recently uploaded a Jussi and a Enrico recording of the aria. The best Jussi and the best Rico recording I could find. Aside from the great difference in recording technique, I also found a great (personal) difference in empathy and feeling. Jussi was just not in the same league as Caruso. Technically as a lyrical tenor he was great and one of the best. But not much better than Lanza.

@drmpeacesage Unfortunate that the recording technique was so poor at the time. But at least we HAVE recordings of his voice. IMO we can still hear his extraordinary voice and empathy the best in the old 78's. If you search YT for /watch?v=9CAl7--JZTU (with the usual YT dot com before it), I've uploaded a digital transfer from an original 78. 50% of his voice is lost, but tune in (play it several times) and I think you'll understand why hearing Caruso sing was something people never forgot.

unfortunately for us, one must consider the recording quality of 0ne Hundred Years Ago. Zero way of comparing unless you heard Enrico Perform live.
