- A recording from the 7th of January 1915. From the opera Il Duca d'Alba, Act IV: Angelo casto e bel.
... Curious which copyrights YT suggests. There cannot be any copyright on this recording. All recordings before 1. January 1923 are in the public domaine. No copyrights possible.
Magic! This time only the Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society might claim copyrights - not Sony.
Unico inimitabile per colori ,timbro e interpretazione , quest'uomo aveva le corde vocali che nascevano direttamente da ventricoli del suo cuore , sublime.
Esta aria es como Casta Diva es decir, son tan, tan bellas que no son de este mundo…son de un mundo onírico…hay tanta belleza en la palabra, la música, el sentimiento..va más allá de nuestra comprensión. Mil gracias, por subir este registro.
Bellissima quest’aria ,non l’avevo mai sentita
Lyricism at the peak! Bravo al maestro dei maestri!!!
What a miraculous singer. I just loved this performance. Thanks again!
un referente principal en la cuerda de tenores
Great, great, great, great record.
I heard this aria sung in the local opera house summer festival, and I remembered Caruso singing it. I found out the name of the aria and listened to Caruso's record (this one) many, many times. I searched as well for other versions: Plácido's, Pavarotti's, Kraus's(better than last ones) -- all inferior to this.
I've just returned from Met Live in HD! Wonderful "belcanting"!!!
Thanks so much!!
Gorgeous and sensitive. So rarely heard.
Thank you so much... I knew the opera listening to a CD (Caruso's best arias, or something like that) and this aria was in the CD, but the CD was so broke and then I could't listening again... however I can remember the voice and the arias (in Caruso this is very easy) and this was one of them, thank you again and again I had a good nostalgic moment...
Is there any aria that this man did not sing to meltingly musical and dramatic perfection - with power, sweetness and beauty to spare? When you talk about the number of different arias sung by any tenor that could compete for the best version on record of that aria, no other tenor even comes close to matching the number produced by Caruso. Having said that, I'd still give the edge to Pavarotti on this particular aria, due to the utterly stunning beauty and freshness of his sound, and the not too shabby bel canto singing to boot. Caruso, however, is a close second, with the next best tenor a VERY distant third.
divino.
Grande tenore
@dantitustimshu Yes, Tim. Caruso's voice had darkened in 1915, but I think his technique got better and better. He was constantly improving technically till his premature death. His voice control and legato is much better here than in the "lyrical years." His empathy - being what he was singing - never diminished, in my opinion.
Hello Tom, after listening to Caruso for almost 80 years, I agree with your comments completely. However, I prefer to say that in my own humble opinion, Caruso's singing was three dimensional and completely different from the others.
This is one of my favourite Caruso recordings. Can any other tenor match the heartbreaking beauty of his singing from 3:06 on?
Grande!
Why all rights are reserved only "by Italian People"? I think that the art of Enrico Caruso belongs to all peoples of the world! Thank you for posting this video.
Totalmente de acuerdo. El arte no tiene nacionalidad. Saludos cordiales.
@meltzerboy Ramón Vargas must also love this air. Her has recorded it twice.
Cómo caruso nadie nadie glorioso
Q

Muy cierto. Saludos cordiales.
He looked like my grandpa 😢
@Aetion: Yes ! Copyrighted by Italy and all Italians everywhere. Period !
@meltzerboy Of course Caruso's recordings before 1910 are his best, when his voice was lighter and fresher. Everybody is agreed on that. But though Caruso's voice production is a bit too heavy for this air-Giuseppe Anselmi's magical Fonotipia must remain the golden standard here-there are moments of gorgeous legato, especially when he softens his tone to something like mezza-voce. Thanks for the referral, dear Nate.
@Elena59Rus: yes, of course, fully agree, the art of Caruso belongs to the whole of humanity, but some international big-bucks companies seem to have found a way of copyrighting his work even if they were not able to previously (copyright laws implemented after Caruso died). Many recordings are thus blocked from view by CZcams (depending on the country you live in and where these profit-fixated fruitcakes were able to gain copyrights). Example: O sole mio is blocked if you live in Italy...
@anaminalwafdi: right you are ! I have deleted them.
Canio als der Herzog von Alba. Es mag kein Donizetti sein aber trotzdem kein Grund fürs Grunzen auf Bierzeltniveau.
