- IMO the best restoration of this Caruso aria (originally recorded on the 6th of November 1909). I have received it from / pawelp - thank you!
Pawel wrote: "...it also shows the brightness in his top unlike most other recordings." - I can only agree with that.

E lucevan le stelle is the romanza of Mario Cavaradossi in the 3rd act of Tosca, the opera composed by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. It is sung by Tosca's lover, the painter Mario Cavaradossi (tenor), while waiting for his coming execution.
Text Italian:
E lucevan le stelle,
ed olezzava la terra
stridea l'uscio dell'orto
e un passo sfiorava la rena.
Entrava ella fragrante,
mi cadea fra la braccia.
O dolci baci, o languide carezze,
mentr'io fremente le belle forme disciogliea dai veli!
Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d'amore.
L'ora è fuggita, e muoio disperato!
e muoio disperato! E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
tanto la vita!
English translation:
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! - Hudba
I can't imagine what it was like to experience this in person, in the present moment - to feel the vibration of the music and of his voice moving through everything. It must have been amazing to experience live.
DOPO 100 ANNI LA VOCE È ANCORA VIA!
Un saluto dall'italia.
Non ho molta competenza ma allorquando ascolto la esecuzione del cantante napoletano Enrico Caruso ,la voce del millennio mi accade come con Totò : un tuffo al 💓.arte al di là delle potenzialità umane
Beautiful ---and beautiful Soul singing it! You can feel his every sentiment--and in spite of it not overdone )as some later 20th C. marvels who will remain nameless). Once a few years ago i had a young man coime into my house to do some plumbing work and i had Caruso playing on my old Pathe Actuelle phonograph--he came into the room and stood speechless at rapt attention. When Caruso had finished he said Oh my God who is that? I dont know what hes singing about but i feel it in my heart--the sadness and the pain !! Didnt we all. Thanks for posting so others can feel it too.
More singers like Caruso and conductors like Toscanini today and opera would be much more appreciated.
For me, Caruso is something like the "blues singer" among opera tenors. He really knew how to deliver an aria well.
that's the perfect way of categorizing his appeal! he wasn't singing to show off or come off as 'refined'; he was making the audience feel what he feels.
@@darklord220 Of course being blessed with his incredible instrument adds substantially to the appeal as well XD
The best singer of all times and nations! BRAVISSIMO!
El mejor ha sido Pavarotti, con todos mis respetos para Caruso, gran cantante tambien.
@@angelrovira7261, Pavarotti hat ihn jedoch auf unbestreitbare No. 1 gesetzt! Erst danach kommen "alle anderen".
Man this has to be one of Caruso's best renditions of this piece on record. If not outright the best among them (might be speaking too soon--the quality of the restoration scores huge bonus points of course). Thank you for preserving this!!
I'm so greatful I can hear that voice but he was a hundred years before his time.. flawless
Thank you so much for posting!
One hundred years after its recording, I found the Caruso rendition valuable. Besides its exellence, I was impressed with the way he was able to allow his voice to break, twice, near the end, with emotion, and still return to the true line of the music.
Also, your translation from Italian to English seems better, to me, than the libretto I have.
Many many thanks!
Caruso is still and will always be my favorite! Beautiful aria!!!
L'âme, oui l'âme est l'outil essentiel du chanteur!!! Tanto Bravissimo Maestro !
Im playing this as dear don is no longer with us. Rip. 19/2/31. To 13/11/23. Best mate a man could have. You and enrico. ❤. Geoff steele. 28/11/23. 😅
Don reeves idol. Rip don. 13/11/23. Your love of enrico will be with me always mate. ( 19/2/31). To 13/11/23. Great rich life you had via your love of opera. Not totally lost on me❤ geff steele. 😊
Another thing that made Caruso the greatest I think is the impeccable legato and frasing, you also always her the word he sings.
It's incredible, in spite of having been recorded nearly 100 years ago, the beauty of that voice still comes through. Caruso, Pavarotti and Di Stefano; the most beautiful voices ever!!

Der Eintrag wurde ergänzt, weil es sehr unterschiedliche EQ gibt. Profis wissen das. Er bezieht sich hier allgemein auf eine *'Bass Booster App'* 🎧 - ohne das Zuschalten des BASS BOOST. Die meisten gehen wohl heute mit Bluetooth in ihrem Endgerät/Handy richtig um ('Advanced settings' überprüfen, den BBoost selbst vorsichtig verwenden, falls man ihn nutzt).
'Compatibility Mode' der App und 'Sound Field *FLAT'* Ihrer Anlage. Texte oder Begleitung bitte vergleichen; so wird die Auswirkung jedem klar. Beeindruckende Brillanz von EC - ohne Mikro aufgezeichnet!
Vergleiche die Wiedergabe, z.B. ab 1:03f. mit und ohne o.a. Equalizer-Einstellung.... Hier wird die 'klarere Übertragung' recht deutlich hörbar.
Allerdings weist die Begleitung
darauf hin, dass etwas mit der
*Tonhöhe* nicht stimmt mAn...?
I love Enrico Caruso and never tire of listening to his wonderful voice. There never has been and there never will be a voice to match his. The hair stands on the back of my neck when I listen to him sing.
Best performer of this piece, in my opinion.
they show the intensity and focus of the voice
agreed, very good
Mesmo sendo dos primórdios da gravação,uma rotação um tanto lenta,a voz de Caruso,de um tenor lírico,na ária de Una furtiva...está limpa e leve.A cadência final,primorosa.
Immortale!!!
Thank you for possible to hear that great voice!
Великий Карузо! Спасибо!
OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
This is incredible!
Imagine what this would sound like with modern sound systems. No harm in dreaming.
Great voice ever.
ja er war der Beste !!! danke
Maybe one of the best versions out there
ORGOGLIO NAPOLETANO!!!!L`Italia dopo ha cancellato tutto.!
Per sempre nel mio cuore.
Masterpiece
Wonderful. It gave me goose bumps.
amazing vibrato
Du liebe Gott, was für eine Stimme !
grazie
Thank you Tom for helping keep Caruso alive in the modern world, La vita bella canzone .
Tan portentosa como Lanza !brillante!.
Thank you very much, this voice is incredible!
Yes, I think it's good too. Pawelp sent it to me for upload.
In questo caso ogni commento è superfluo, dico solo era CARUSO, definito con ragione, il più grande tenore della storia
Caruso is forever and ever the best!
R.
Better than the one I'm used to (Naxos). But the Manon Lescaut one that was posted a while ago was even better. What I like about these recordings is that they show the intensity and focus of the voice. Listen to the last A he sings, it's an intense beam of energy. Gives me goosebumps.
geez the power
I can imagine that when Caruso and Melba got together the theatre must have been alight with audience emotion..? It will take a lot more sophisticated technology to even come close to reproducing Caruso's voice accurately. It is very hard to insert something which was never there, such as an extended frequency range, dynamic range and low distortion, all of which mitigate against ever hearing him 'properly'. I'm sure anyone today would be completely blown away by his voice. He had no equal.
Beautiful
the italian opera is the best, i ahte french, the italian has that emotive feeling in the way of talking, spanish is great too, i love them both
@KaleidoscopeAct Yes, it was speeded up somewhat, I think. But then again we have only poor recordings - in various qualities - to judge by. How did he really sound like live?
The majority of the opera public at the time (MET and abroad) didn't buy tickets for a specific opera, but for a performance where Caruso was the tenor.
Incanto💖
Il tenore italiano per eccellenza, la voce per eccellenza del XX secolo.
Enrico Caruso, Luciano Pavarotti e Maria Callas le voci per eccellenza del XX secolo.
Oggi, invece, la voce per eccellenza che abbiamo è quella di tre giovani stelle nascenti italiane di notorietà mondiale con il nome d'arte de Il Volo, che nonostante la loro giovane età già sono riconosciuti universalmente come i tre artisti italiani per eccellenza del XXI secolo.
Bravíssimo
Yes, vurria123, there were several personal problems at the time (Giachetti) and, I believe, the first operation on his vocal chords - his voice was definately darker after that.
I received this remastering from (CZcams username) Pawelp, so I cannot really take credit for it :-)
The GOAT 🥰🏆👏🇮🇹
Pavaroti squeaked all operatic repertoires. But people like Caruso singing how should be, greatly
hammer! nice!
You are most welcome, Dionaysia !
Glad to share it and Caruso with you, NaiveVoice!
Come to think of it, didn't Caruso have "Naive" Voice?
unico
Pavoratti said it right. He said "Caruso is still THE superstar."
Pavarotti also said in an interview that “Caruso is the base of the building.”
we can discuss about many tenors or any kind of voice,but Caruso NO!!!!!!!!!!! he comes from heaven nobody ever like him
Harika cidden tek kelimeyle🫶🏻
@rosaponselleart Thanks R. - or M. :-)
... Beautiful soul and voice.
@KaleidoscopeAct Nope - I'm sure it isn't. But it sounds great ....
The definitive 1906 Earthquake documentary, The Damnedest, Finest Ruins, is available for free streaming from KQED/PBS (San Francisco) - complete with restored silent film clips, rarely seen photos and the restored voice of tenor Enrico Caruso - who sang at the opera house 5 hours before the quake hit - is at -

Caruso records often run around 75 or lower, but Idk what this one needs. It's a bit too fast I think.
Wieviel Umdrehungen/Min sollte es denn sein? Wie waren denn die *Instrumente* damals gestimmt??
Esta medio ton arriba, que bueno!!
Recomiendo pavarotti y tito schifa pero, logico, nadie como él
Τρομερή εκτέλεση, από έναν μεγάλο καλλιτέχνη. Σας ευχαριστούμε για
την ανάρτηση αυτή.
Was soll denn "schrecklich" sein? Vielleicht die Aufnahmetechnik? Das könnte stimmen.....
Towering.
@Kadda1234 Yes, it is too fast.
Hi Tom, how are you doing? My translation of Marafioti's book about Caruso's tecnique is going to be finally released also in italian, with a small company, I'm going to send you a copy as soon as I'll get one, too! I owe this to you, at least! Greetings from Italy
I wonder how this was digitally enhanced. Did they use deconvolution or FFT noise reduction techniques?
Not sure how he did it, but I think the latter.
Wonderful, thank you, but I hope listeners will also listen to the slower digital remasters on CZcams - in this speeded up recording his characteristic dark tone is lost. It was that baritone timbre, a unique quality that gave a warmth and poignancy as part of his gift to all tenors who followed him.
Listen to Caruso here:
czcams.com/video/3TjEoAXzJ9E/video.html
Der gleiche Eindruck entsteht bei
mir auch. Die "Tonhöhe" stimmt nicht. Das kann nur die schlechte
Wiedergabe-Einstellung der Dreh-
zahl nach oben von einer anderen Aufnahme-Geschwindigkeit sein.
(Nur meine Meinung)
Man müsste den "Kammerton 440 Hz" vergleichen, dann würde die Manipulation messbar mAn.
Is this the right speed?
This is in the wrong key. Somebody must have speeded it up at playback
@@hostlangr no spreken ze Duetch. English or Espanol
Would it be possible Caruso's voice is more powerful than Corelli's?
Not sure why you ask this, but Caruso sang in big opera houses without any voice amplification for more than 20 years,
or live?
Holy ya nahwhat
Yes, as you say, the previous Monon Lexcaut is better and this is better than the Marston where much of the power of his voice is missing.
When are they going to invent that time machine... :-)
Many bird species but some are canaries!
