Melba sounds rather more vibrant and 'live' on this video than in many recordings/videos I've listened to. I'd like to think that perhaps this is how she, in person, sounded in the space of an opera house. Thank you very, very much, Tom Frøkjær!
Thank you! These old recordings are such a treat in history and beauty!
I love the original 78 recording. Awesome!

Vergleichen Sie bitte ab 1:47 mit/ohne Equalizer-Variation⚘.....wie ein etwas verschwommenes Foto insgesamt klarer/schärfer wird. Auch an Instrumenten oder Textverständnis ('Surrogatparameter') ist der präsente differenziertere Klang erkennbar. Warum es sich so verhält, kann man am *Graph* der Funktion, die aus dieser *genauen* ! Regler-Position ( kein preset ) resultiert und eine Crescendo-Verstärkung der hohen Frequenzen zeigt, diskutieren: Er erscheint im Display. Wiesehr gute Lautsprecher den Klang verbessern können, ist bekannt. Dass ein EQ das Ergebnis günstig beeinflussen kann, ist viel weniger geläufig.

When I hear them singing La Bohème, I can't help remembering the story with the hot dog :) They were fantastic beyond any doubt.
Thank you, dear Tom and take good care of yourself.
Yes, the che gelida manina sausage! Caruso was maybe a "peasant" - but what a peasant ! Both legends. Hope you and your family are safe.
@@tomfroekjaer Yes, it was a sausage indeed! He used to get in Melba's nerves, especially at the beginning of their cooperation, however, she was very fond of this peasant.
For the time being we are well, but nobody knows what that next day brings.
Warmest greeting from Crete.
@@aetion Yes, the Covid-19 is unfortunately spreading again with more restrictions being imposed. We do not worry too much as we live in a small village 60 km south of Copenhagen. We were actually on a holiday on Crete last month. 10 nice days with great weather and a lot to see.
@@tomfroekjaer, glaubt doch diesen Mist nicht, den die Propaganda erzählt!! Ein genialer *dreister* Propagandatrick! Hoffentlich wachen die Menschen endlich auf. LG

You truly are the greatest opera channel on CZcams !
No way! I might be the most comprehensive Caruso Channel, but certainly not the greatest opera channel!
I don't know the first thing about opera!
@@tomfroekjaer well, to put it another way, opera without your channel is opera without Caruso and opera without Caruso isn't opera at all !
@@abcdefgh-db1to Well, if you put it like that 😄
BRILLANTES AUS LÄNGST VERGANGNER ZEIT
Superbe final !
Bravissimi 👏
Bravo, bravissimo, Caruso !!!
Dear Tom Caruso is a Tsunamy of passion Massimiliano Moltedo
Indeed!
I wonder how many times she wanted to clobber him & his pranks.
Heel lang geleden by myn opoetje oma bestondnog niet een grammofoonplaat en op de grammofoon een grote Hoorn voor het geluid
Best version as he defers to Helen Mitchell. The Farrar record is inferior.
Agree.
What a corkerM
