At the end of the 19th century, a 10-year-old boy was working in a factory in Naples. His dream was to become a great singer. He went to a music teacher. However, the teacher insisted that this child could not become a singer, because he had neither musical hearing nor voice. The child's poor mother believed in her son. She adored the boy. She always praised him and claimed that he would become a great singer. This boy was Enrico Caruso.
I’m Italian and my grandfather it’s been first voice for many years at theater San Carlo of Naples I have same name and surname of him and I heard few times when I was teenager singer this song from him and believe me even the wall was shaking, today my grandfather it’s in peace from 10 years and every time I 👂🏻 O sole mio my eyes cry right away. Love you Nonno Carlo whatever you are
ho dovuto tradurre per capire bene il tuo commento commovente ! Io tempo fa ho conosciuto per un comune hobby un baritono di livello medio basso ( detto da lui) . gli chiesi se mi faceva sentire come cantava! roba da non credere una potenza spaventosa. Fu proprio lui a spiegarmi che la potenza non è sufficiente a fare una grande voce. Tuo nonno era un cantante di alto livello e capisco la tua emozione nel ricordarlo.
104 year old recording, wow. Amazing how we can still be affected by a recording all those years ago. People in 400 years time will still get to listen to this. Captured forever for all to enjoy amazing.
It is absolutely correct to say that there will never be another tenor like Caruso. His voice is a harmony itself..tenor, baritone and base all in one. His voice or instrument is a gift of God. Many people are not aware of this, so they compare many tenors with Caruso. Nothing can be compared with the gift of God...He is called "The Great Caruso" not for nothing. His version of O Sole Mio is perfect. My collection of Caruso's recordings has been with me for more than 68 yr.
Recording from 1916. Today, 2016, after 100 years, still the most impressive, emotional and "modern" interpretation of all times. R.I.P. MAESTRO, teach angels to sing.
Listen to Robertino Loretti's version and you'll change your thoughts.He is an earth angel who has never ever being taught or trained to sing, Yet so far nobody has come even close to his divine singing.
...I listened to Loretti's version now that he's in his 70s (he sung it on some Russian show) and he's _terrible._ He uses singing technique that should never be applied to opera or Neapolitan folk songs. He doesn't hold his notes properly during the chorus, instead doing weird note changes and essentially singing like a pop artist instead of an opera tenor. He should take lessons from Helmut Lotti and Jari Sillanpää on how to be a successful "self-learned pop opera tenor".
Oh my! This recording is nearly 100 years old...can you imagine what his voice would have sounded like with today's recording equipment...and what he would have sounded like in live performance... I am in awe.
If only Caruso had lived to see the maturation of recording techniques. This restored acoustic record sounds great, but no doubt his voice would sound a million times more amazing with today's technology.
In my opinion the low quality equipment really adds to the sound with these very old songs. It would be great to hear it all cleaned up but it wouldn't be the same thing anymore.
My dad was in hospital. One afternoon (no visits possible) we were on the phone. He asked me to look up Caruso singing O sole mio. We listened in awe. We were so happy and touched.
Mi padre cantaba esta cancion con una bella voz de tenor que todos comparaban a Caruso. El se durmio ayer en la paz del Senor. Su voz queda grabada en mi memoria con mas fuerza que nunca! Padre amado, descansa en paz.
Lucky me, I found a stash of Caruso 78s from the 20s. Unplayed, mint. I am too frightened to play them as I dont have a proper 78 turntable. Just a modern cheap one that may damage the grooves.
I’m proud of being made in America with Italian parts God bless both Countries Italians never took America for granted our ancestors came to work not to be a burden on society my dad was the first on the block to put the Stars and Stripes out
It is marvellous to hear this man with the Victor orchestra conducted by Walter Rogers , one hundred and five years later. My Mum was a cellist so I can really say this is beautiful music and we are so lucky that recording was available in 1916, a very special year in Ireland. His life mirrors I think the history of Ireland over last couple of centuries. Many many THANKS Enrico and all the people who made your voice available all these years later and online.. I am playing this through my large smart tv via casting from laptop and so the sound is magnificent. Thank you. Brian Mc C, 4/8/21, Sydney.
What a voice! Can you imagine what you'd here if all that static wasn't interfering in the recording. My father had a Caruso album with 4 different recordings and I listened to them when I was a kid. His voice was incredible.
When I hear this I think of all the Neapolitan immigrants in the Family Circle of the old Metropolitan Opera House hearing his voice and swelling with pride. Their lives were so difficult yet he eased their burdens a bit for a few hours. I know this because my great aunt (Jewish and a sweat-shop survivor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company fire) sacrificed her pennies to hear Caruso as often as she could because his humanity eased her soul - she often told me this. We thankfully know him from his recordings, but he was a phenomenon on many levels. For many people who think he was just another tenor: He was an inspiration to a whole generation of immigrants who sacrificed so much to come to the United States to improve their and their children's lives. He was a balm during bitter times.
that's so inspiriring. thank you for sharing that. i have only today discovered caruso's singing . he was magnificent for sure. i can see how his voice would lift people out of their despair for a while. i was listening to mario lanza this week for the first time and read that he played caruso in a movie or play, and now i can see why. both great and emotional voices; very moving.
Eddie Lew, thank you for this amazing comment. I live near the site of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company - now NYU and upscale. But this is a beautiful and true comment, everyone needs beauty! I have quoted you on my FB page. I hope that is alright with you!
One can see why Enrico was so highly regarded. Quite a magnificent voice. Wonderful modulation of pitch and power. Good fidelity for a nonelectronic recording.
A voice instructor once told him that his voice sounded like the wind whistling through an open window, but he never gave up and went on to be one of the greatest tenors that ever lived, please remember he died when recording devices were just getting started and don't always always sound great.
Wrong, he was not one if the greatest tenors that ever lived. He was THE greatest tenor that ever lived. Someone said, there are tenors and there is Caruso Rob Lowe
What i like about this era of opera is that the orchestral backing is minimal compared to the later modern times where it becomes fused with the tenor. It amplifies the genius of Caruso.
His singing is tear drawing, so rich and moving, full of passion and artistry. Do not compare him to 3 tenors, it is not a compliment. Class of his own, beautiful artist in deed. Bravo, love, Bravo, more Love...
Priceless and most beautiful rendition of this charming, emotional song, exactly as it should be performed and presented for us all by the incomparable Caruso together with the resplendent orchestra!
Words can't describe how it wows me ,dad always said Caruso was the best even though he loved mario lanza ,wish I could have been there when Caruso sang this I wouldn't have slept for a year with excitement,thank you so much for sharing kind regards and keep safe everyone listening 🎧 to this beautiful song Shirley h Darlington England 👌⭐ an🌹👂✋💖⭐👂❤️✌️✋

non sono un esperto, ma mi sembra che questa sia la registrazione della voce di Caruso di qualità audio migliore e fa capire perchè dopo 100 anni è ancora considerato il più grande tenore di sempre : timbro , armonia, potenza e tecnica ai massimi livelli possibili!
Even for people who lived at the time it’s estimated that less then 100k ever saw Caruso but he was the first artist to sell over a million copies of a single record
Recently found out that Enrico is my great great uncle on my mother's side of my family... We always believed music ran in the family! My great aunts were both on Broadway and my great uncle Paul was a part of the Chicago symphony.
Caruso was a Neapolitan. He must sing that better than Pavarotti. Else that would be shame ;) but of course. He sings that so incredible good as everything else.

my dear Mother would speak to me and tell me how Caruso was such a great singer and I was a kid who listened to AC/DC and Kiss. Now I am a little older and she is gone but I thank youtube for making me realize how right she was. grazie mamma.
"Many years ago a boy of ten was working in a factory in Naples. He longed to be a singer, but his first teacher discouraged him. 'You can't sing,' he said. 'You haven't any voice at all. It sounds like the wind in the shutters.' But his mother, a poor peasant woman, put her arms about him and praised him and told him she knew he could sing, she could already see an improvement, and she went barefoot in order to save money to pay for his music lessons. That peasant mother's praise and encouragement changed that boy's life. His name was Enrico Caruso, and he became the greatest and most famous opera singer of his age." (That's from the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie that brought me here.)
Thank you for sharing this! What a moving story! A mother's love gifted this great talent for all of us, for all time. She deserves to be remembered with the highest honor.
I'm Enrico's great great great grandson(I don't know exactly how many greats but I do know im related to him). I recently heard his recordings for the first time and I have to say, he has an amazing voice.
I didn't know you could sing like that!!!!!!!!!!!! until I discovered Rosa Ponselle and recently, Caruso !!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one is capable today of serving the Art of Singing so well !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
La cantavi sempre amore mio.. Ed è per questo che ad ogni singola parola di questa canzone associo i tuoi occhi sorridenti e dai miei occhi cadono lacrime.. Perché mi sembra assurdo non averti ancora qui a quasi un anno dalla tua scomparsa.. Credo che non saro mai piu pienamente felice, perchè manchi tu qui accanto a me.. Piccola grande donna.. Nonna ti amo!
brava meriti un fiore per le tue dolci parole :-) ricordarti della tua nonna brava anche io come te anche se da molto se ne andata ma come se fosse ieri mai dal mio cuore se ne andata così credo sia per te ma non disperare lei ti guarda da su :-)
I have just watched "The Great Caruso" on TV and it prompted me to look Caruso's videos on CZcams. I thought that legend would cloud reality and that I would hear just a good voice made great by time but how wrong I was . Enrico Caruso's voice is full like double cream, no harsh edges whatsoever ......a truly beautiful voice and I'm no expert but the nicest operatic voice I've heard and the easiest to listen to. I'm astounded as my favourite was Pavarotti.
Just imagine, we are listening to his voice on these very old recordings. Imagine live in theater, where the full dimension and resonance would be heard. He had an a beautiful voice. In our day and age, we don't understand that singers at that time might do things that by our standards is less attractive, like singing with heavy cover or breaking up certain phrases but it was the taste of the time. Even despite all that, he was unbeliavable.
Es un honor poder escuchar la voz de este maestro tenor, que sin necesidad de la tecnología que hoy usan los "cantantes" actuales, nos dejó estas bellas joyas.
What is the difference that you can hear in the remastering ? His voice sounds deep and smooth here , I'm assuming the original was a bit more treble ? Interested to hear your view .
Im relieved you said it was just the hiss and crackles that was the largest difference in the remastered version. Poor recording technology back then can make a voice difficult to judge but Caruso's voice is so rich.
The instrumental was actually recorded electrically around the 1930s with the electrical process, sounding much better than the 1916 process, with Caruso's original 1916 voice.
I was only a child when my dad's mother played this for me and told me he was the greatest tenor there ever was. I have always remembered it and believed it and, whenever I hear it I remember her.
@@johnschroeter9743 That is the key! That is what I did not expect! (My musical background is about average; trumpet in school band and played around with my sister's violin, my dad's guitar, my uncle's accordion, and noodled through simple tunes on the family pianos (every home had one). I am a writer and researcher (and learn much along the way) and I had set myself a task of objectively comparing tenors Lanza (my FIL's favorite) with Pavarotti (my Italian BIL's favorite) and later added Juan Diego Flórez (my opera loving spouse's favorite tenor). I had not listened to enough specific operatic tenors to have a favorite. I just "like everything." I also noted that Lanza was American, Pavarotti was Italian and Flórez was Peruvian a wide range over the globe. I started with Lanza and Pavarotti's versions of "O Sole Mio" and was then going to "Nessun dorma," comparing each tenors modulation, pronunciation, range and whatever else clearly separate the two versions. After Lanza and Pavarotti, I put on an Enrico Caruso version of "Oh Sole Mio" (as a "palette" (ear) cleanser, anticipating that it would sound "old and scratchy" and provide a great contrast in sound). WOW!!!! Caruso was amazing! I started to cry. Tears were running down and that was it. I was done! I had found a tenor who "had it all." I began looking for everything from Caruso on CZcams. His voice is absolutely captivating! Stunning! Like nothing I've ever heard before. My FIL had appreciated Caruso but changed his preference to Lanza since Lanza was "modern" (and closer to my FIL's age) and he watched him live on TV. (Nothing like that is possible with Caruso who died in 1921.) My (born in Italy) BIL had always preferred Pavarotti (one of the first opera stars he followed) for his energy and his "rich rounded" sound (and Pavarotti's engaging attitude with his self-deprecating humor). But, I became an (unintended) Caruso fan on first hearing him! His voice is the ONLY voice that brought me to (involuntary) tears. And, it's the sound, not the words (since my Italian is almost non-existent). The notion of Enrico Caruso, that amazing man, dying a horrific death at age 48, his entire body writhing in pain and filled with infection is heart-breaking. Medicine was primitive in the USA in 1921 but medicine in Naples was nothing short of faith healers at that time (and, in his case, worse than nothing). We are fortunate that Caruso recorded as much as he did. I expect he had NO idea that he would be making an impact, through those recordings, and bringing tears, over 100 years later. And that is key; the involuntary crying that comes from deep in the soul. Caruso's voice does that.
At the end of the 19th century, a 10-year-old boy was working in a factory in Naples. His dream was to become a great singer. He went to a music teacher. However, the teacher insisted that this child could not become a singer, because he had neither musical hearing nor voice. The child's poor mother believed in her son. She adored the boy. She always praised him and claimed that he would become a great singer. This boy was Enrico Caruso.
My grandfather stood outside an opera house so many decades ago. He said Caruso's voice was so powerful that you could hear it outside !

My dad cried when I found this song for him, and so I cried too. Caruso, one of the best tenors.... for all time
And who is the best then?
Not one of the best,but the one universally recognized among tenors as THE BEST EVER.

I am getting goose bumps. My grandma listened to his records. I am 73 and it took you tube to make me realize how GREAT he was.

February 25, 1873 and lived until August 2, 1921.

When Man sat down to play
At cards with his grizzly friend.

Caruso, Neapolitan pride. Teach angels to sing, maestro
Было бы хорошо,если бы на радио и телевидении,чаще звучали такие гениальные исполнители☺.ЭТО ЗА ГРАНЬЮ ФАНТАСТИКИ.
Единственный Голос, который поставлю с Голосом Лемешева. Если Сергей Яковлевич голос и душа России, тут голос и душа Италии, ее солнце, ее воздух.
I agree
The best ever will remain Enrico Caruso!
100 years ago the world was blessed with this voice. Will there ever be another so great ??
Pavarotti anyone? He was basically the new Caruso in talent and fame.
Amazing voice ever ,clear ,gentle and so powerfull
"Many years ago a boy of ten was working in a factory in Naples. He longed to be a singer, but his first teacher discouraged him. 'You can't sing,' he said. 'You haven't any voice at all. It sounds like the wind in the shutters.'
But his mother, a poor peasant woman, put her arms about him and praised him and told him she knew he could sing, she could already see an improvement, and she went barefoot in order to save money to pay for his music lessons. That peasant mother's praise and encouragement changed that boy's life. His name was Enrico Caruso, and he became the greatest and most famous opera singer of his age."
(That's from the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie that brought me here.)
Jesus why are so many vocal coaches/teachers such bellends??
I came here after the same book!! Very good book btw
The most beautiful voice I've ever heard
Thank you for sharing this! What a moving story! A mother's love gifted this great talent for all of us, for all time. She deserves to be remembered with the highest honor.
@@Thulesmann I agree with you 100%.May God bless everyone.
Such authentic sound. Music preserves the life of a honorable artists forever .
I shook with Erico Caruso many times. A great man he was! The greatest Tenor that was ever dropped down from Heaven by Angels!
Best voice of all the best tenors over the years. Best of all.
Wow,, want a voice. He was a giant in the opera world in his time and we can hear why too.
Oh quelle voix monsieur caruso magnifique merci
King Caruso still lives! Good lord, even after all this time , he still dwarfs them all!!!
I'm Enrico's great great great grandson(I don't know exactly how many greats but I do know im related to him). I recently heard his recordings for the first time and I have to say, he has an amazing voice.
As an Italian American too, I love opera and specially Enrico's voice.
I didn't know you could sing like that!!!!!!!!!!!! until I discovered Rosa Ponselle and recently, Caruso !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No one is capable today of serving the Art of Singing so well !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
La canzone classica napoletana, patrimonio dell'umanità, Caruso da brividi. Spettacolo.
Grande voz! Herança Italiana. Saúdo-vos do Brasil!
La cantavi sempre amore mio.. Ed è per questo che ad ogni singola parola di questa canzone associo i tuoi occhi sorridenti e dai miei occhi cadono lacrime.. Perché mi sembra assurdo non averti ancora qui a quasi un anno dalla tua scomparsa.. Credo che non saro mai piu pienamente felice, perchè manchi tu qui accanto a me.. Piccola grande donna.. Nonna ti amo!
brava meriti un fiore per le tue dolci parole :-) ricordarti della tua nonna brava anche io come te anche se da molto se ne andata ma come se fosse ieri mai dal mio cuore se ne andata così credo sia per te ma non disperare lei ti guarda da su :-)
La storia di Napoli! Napoli nel cuore sempre!💙💙💙
La plus belle version ! Et quelle qualité de conservation !
I have just watched "The Great Caruso" on TV and it prompted me to look Caruso's videos on CZcams.
I thought that legend would cloud reality and that I would hear just a good voice made great by time but how wrong I was .
Enrico Caruso's voice is full like double cream, no harsh edges whatsoever ......a truly beautiful voice and I'm no expert but the nicest operatic voice I've heard and the easiest to listen to. I'm astounded as my favourite was Pavarotti.
Just imagine, we are listening to his voice on these very old recordings. Imagine live in theater, where the full dimension and resonance would be heard. He had an a beautiful voice. In our day and age, we don't understand that singers at that time might do things that by our standards is less attractive, like singing with heavy cover or breaking up certain phrases but it was the taste of the time. Even despite all that, he was unbeliavable.
Yes, all other recordings on old 78s are very top end or "tinny" is the common term, this man must have had an unbelievable voice on stage.
SE E CONSIDERATO DA SEMPRE IL PIU GRANDE TENORE DI TUTTI I TEMPI UN MOTIVO CI DEVE ESSERE :) I MITI NON NASCONO PER CASO
Caruso was probably THE operatic voice of the century. His interpretations of arias and songs became the standard for later artists.
Très bon chanteur Enrico caruso

Wow, he is fantastic.
Wundervoll. Danke fürs hochladen ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Great Caruso!
Es un honor poder escuchar la voz de este maestro tenor, que sin necesidad de la tecnología que hoy usan los "cantantes" actuales, nos dejó estas bellas joyas.
WOW!!! This is a Fantastic Recording!!! Enrico Caruso is Awesome!!! I Love The Emotional Content and Expression in this Wonderful Song!!! Amazing!!!
this is what i call a professional singing only a few people can sing that good but everybody could sing modern music
I am sure. Caruso is the best of all time. Sure
I've just listened to this on the original 78 from 1916!! Someone did a really good job here with remastering!!
What is the difference that you can hear in the remastering ? His voice sounds deep and smooth here , I'm assuming the original was a bit more treble ?
Interested to hear your view .
WildPhotoShooter no hiss click etc just a beautiful voice.
Im relieved you said it was just the hiss and crackles that was the largest difference in the remastered version. Poor recording technology back then can make a voice difficult to judge but Caruso's voice is so rich.
The instrumental was actually recorded electrically around the 1930s with the electrical process, sounding much better than the 1916 process, with Caruso's original 1916 voice.
Adoro ópera ainda mais cantada por um mito como Enrico caruso demais!!Pena que aqui no Brasil não se da valor a esse estilo tão maravilhoso!!
I don't consider myself a lover of opera. But Caruso's depth and expression bring me to tears.
It's Now or Never: But seriously, this song, though I had no opera culture as a child, has been with me always.
I was only a child when my dad's mother played this for me and told me he was the greatest tenor there ever was. I have always remembered it and believed it and, whenever I hear it I remember her.
3 years later and I'm hearing this again and thinking of my grandmother and the beauty of this man's voice and tears are streaming down my face.
@@johnschroeter9743 That is the key! That is what I did not expect! (My musical background is about average; trumpet in school band and played around with my sister's violin, my dad's guitar, my uncle's accordion, and noodled through simple tunes on the family pianos (every home had one).
I am a writer and researcher (and learn much along the way) and I had set myself a task of objectively comparing tenors Lanza (my FIL's favorite) with Pavarotti (my Italian BIL's favorite) and later added Juan Diego Flórez (my opera loving spouse's favorite tenor).
I had not listened to enough specific operatic tenors to have a favorite. I just "like everything." I also noted that Lanza was American, Pavarotti was Italian and Flórez was Peruvian a wide range over the globe.
I started with Lanza and Pavarotti's versions of "O Sole Mio" and was then going to "Nessun dorma," comparing each tenors modulation, pronunciation, range and whatever else clearly separate the two versions. After Lanza and Pavarotti, I put on an Enrico Caruso version of "Oh Sole Mio" (as a "palette" (ear) cleanser, anticipating that it would sound "old and scratchy" and provide a great contrast in sound). WOW!!!! Caruso was amazing! I started to cry. Tears were running down and that was it. I was done! I had found a tenor who "had it all." I began looking for everything from Caruso on CZcams. His voice is absolutely captivating! Stunning! Like nothing I've ever heard before.
My FIL had appreciated Caruso but changed his preference to Lanza since Lanza was "modern" (and closer to my FIL's age) and he watched him live on TV. (Nothing like that is possible with Caruso who died in 1921.)
My (born in Italy) BIL had always preferred Pavarotti (one of the first opera stars he followed) for his energy and his "rich rounded" sound (and Pavarotti's engaging attitude with his self-deprecating humor).
But, I became an (unintended) Caruso fan on first hearing him! His voice is the ONLY voice that brought me to (involuntary) tears. And, it's the sound, not the words (since my Italian is almost non-existent).
The notion of Enrico Caruso, that amazing man, dying a horrific death at age 48, his entire body writhing in pain and filled with infection is heart-breaking. Medicine was primitive in the USA in 1921 but medicine in Naples was nothing short of faith healers at that time (and, in his case, worse than nothing).
We are fortunate that Caruso recorded as much as he did. I expect he had NO idea that he would be making an impact, through those recordings, and bringing tears, over 100 years later. And that is key; the involuntary crying that comes from deep in the soul. Caruso's voice does that.
