Caruso sings E lucevan le stelle 1909. Recorded from an original 78 rpm shellac.

Caruso recorded E lucevan le stelle several times starting in 1902. This is his last recording of the aria from 6th of November 1909. Unlike the previous recordings this was accompanied by an orchestra. All the previous ones were accompanied by a piano player.
Translated text:
And the stars were shining,
and the earth smelled sweet,
the garden gate scraped,
and a step brushed the sand.
She came in, fragrant,
and fell into my arms.
Oh! sweet kisses, oh! languid caresses,
while I, trembling, released her lovely features from their veils!
My dream of love has vanished forever.
The moment is gone, and I die in despair!
And I never have loved life so much!

He sings this most beautiful aria with his enormous voice simply, without wanting to make a show out of it, as so many other do.
Thank you, dear Tom.

Indeed, he does not try to suck the attention onto himself.
