Voce potente, persistente, senza difetti e travolgente ma che nello stesso tempo riscalda, avvolge, abbraccia, accarezza e protegge. Di una inarrivabile perfezione
@@donni1276 l'invidia non dovrebbe esistere anche quando si è morti lei giudica senza sapere né visto il colore di voce e il saper modulare fa di Enrico Caruso il prosultra se risponde educatamente
Su questo brano nessuno potrà mai raggiungere la bellezza espressiva del canto. Ho ascoltato altre interpretazioni, non può esserci confronto!!! Il TOP!!!
There are tears in my eyes; every time my soul is filled with his voice and humanity.when I hear it. Caruso is a calming balm. If I’m overstating it, it’s because I’m overwhelmed.
Música proibita , duna Bellissima canzone , cantata da Tanti tenori má lá piu che piace a me e côn Enrico Caruso , da sempre Grazie infinite a chi posta , tutte queste belle canzoni Raffaella M M Ricci .
No one sings this better than Caruso. A simple song made great by the master. Most singers over sing this song. Caruso gets your attention from the very beginning with the utter beauty of his voice and the complete absence of any forcing, then gradually builds to the wonderful climax. Caruso is one of those singers who always respects the song, an absence of ego in the singing. Bjorling had the same trait.
Mi stupisco per quanti amanti di lingua inglese abbia questa melodia! L'ho ascoltata in tutte le interpretazioni possibili ma Caruso e' sempre Caruso! Insuperabile!
Pensavano che fosse un baritono perché non si esibì al massimo nell’elisir d’amore. Ma rimane una delle voci tenorili più autentiche e belle di timbro. Riposa in pace maestro.
Sei il più grande tenore del mondo. L'unica voce capace di emozionarmi ancora alla bella età di 77 anni! La tua voce è possente ma anche dolcissima. W Enrico!!!!!
Concordo in pieno, ho scoperto Caruso ormai ai miei 75, dopo anni di Pavarotti, Carreras, Domingo e tanti altri grandissimi, ma la sua voce parla al mio cuore e alla mia anima come nessun'altra. Che tutti gli dei lo benedicano anche se spesso mi riempie gli occhi di lacrime. ❤
Now it has been 40 years since I first heard the voice of Caruso. I met many who heard him and now they are all gone. We are now at an age where many of his recordings have passed well over the 100 year mark. I for one as I grow older marvel even more than I did in 1971 when I first heard him and thought "My God". Now 40 years later I am just as awestruck. Now we have entered into the 2nd decade of the 21st century and it is our turn to watch the young say the same thing as we did so long ago.
La cantava sempre mia madre questa melodia! Grazie! "Vorrei baciar i tuoi capelli neri, le labbra tue e gli occhi tuoi sinceri...fammi provar le ebbrezze dell'amor..".

As an opera-lover since the age of 5, I'm so thrilled to be able to listen to all this wonderful music. Thank you so much, Tom, for sharing Caruso with us, I can't have enough of him! Thanks and greetings from Norway. 56Yeya
I first heard Caruso in 1971. Now near 40 years later I can still feel the thrill when first I heard him on a Victor record. I asked every person I could find who had heard him to tell me all about it. I was lucky that way, to at least hear from those who heard him live. He has brought more joy into my life than I can mention. In the year 2237 they will be talking about Caruso, He is not of the past, present, or future. He just is and will always be like a natural wonder of life itself.
2. I noticed that Caruso expressed with his voice all "the soul" of the text and of the melody with extreme perfection, communicating it totally to the listeners. When two days ago I listened for the first time to his interpretation of Musica Proibita I was even more astonished: an incredible range of tones and colours of his extremely expressive voice that make the listener ecstatic. Kievest says better than me: "But it is the soulful singing, the open hearted singing by that uniquely beautiful
4. I am not a musician like you but I am grateful to persons, experts in this field, who explain important details. I knew for example that Caruso came from a poor family but I did not know that he had less than two years of formal schooling as Tom said in his comments. Considering this and the perfection, the refinement of his deeply heart-felt interpretations I had to conclude that he was endowed with a divine talent as other geniuses. Greetings.
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this wonderful job. My father listened to Caruso alive in Mexico City back in the 1920's and he said that he sang without a microphone and could be heard in the whole bullfight ring where he performed. Now my father has passed away, but I am certain that he enjoys this music as much as I do, wherever he is. Once again, THANK YOU.
Nowadays we have so many outstanding things, like the sound of music we can hear... maybe we grew accustomed to improve so it became the norm, The music didn´t sound like this back in the fifties and i wonder how is it that our "old timers" really loved this music, so much, that everything had to stop! Shus!! granpa is listening to his music, go somewhere and play, do not interrupt...it was their moment and now 60 years after, I find myself coming back to listen to what granpa used to listen so attentively;
I can only say "thank you" again, Tom. This brings back so many happy memories of hours spent together with my father and uncle, who introduced me to music in general and opera in particular.
1. DIVINE ARTIST! I heard this incredible beautiful interpretation of Caruso for the first time last evening and I was stunned! Now I understand why he has become a legend. A "multidimensional voice",extraordinary technique but not only this! As Robert Becker writes:"For me, Heart is probably Caruso Greatest attribute!!!!!!!!! It is what speaks to people over the decades and century, it is his Great Heart that we all listen to."
Absolutely beautiful! Then again, what else can you expect from the best singer of all time. 13 dislikes!!! Must be Irishmen from New York City. Or maybe Rolling Stones fans. Another great version of this beautiful song is by Tito Gobbi, my favorite singer. Not in the class of Caruso, but I wish I had his voice
+Dino Merlo E' per questo che e' davvero straordinario. Ieri ho scoperto per la prima volta (!!!) la voce di Giuseppe di Stefano -- una voce *bellissima* -- ma rispetto di Caruso, di Stefano mi pare canta senza anima, senza sentimento.
Caruso aveva una voce scura , riusciva ad essere tenore con tecnica e fiato. Oggi , con i mezzi che ci sono, mi riservo i giudizi con riprese dal vivo . Del resto il tenore è una voce rara e bisogna accontentarsi. A tutti il loro campo , chi va fuori del suo repertorio per troppe volte la paga cara , esempi illustri ce ne sono.
Ο μέγιστος των μεγίστων όλων των εποχών. Πολλοί καλοί αλλά ο Caruso είναι ανεπανάληπτος. Ο μέγιστος παλιάτσος που με κάνουν να συγκινούμαι μέχρι δακρύων.
What a beautiful song, and celestially sung by this superb human being. I have always been a Gigli afficianado. I can see where Beniamino is coming from. Beautiful bel-canto singing.
Si è sforzato a dire che era bravo Enrico Caruso . È stato il più grande tenore di tutti i tempi , il sommo cantore come disse Lauri Volpi e hanno condiviso quest opinione Corelli e Pavarotti tra gli altri.signor... dire solo bravo a Caruso e " sapeva cantare " è poco, molto poco
This is Caruso with - again - in a beautiful interpretation of this song. To me, his talent lies in being able to reproduce the same line with totally different feelings. Note how he sings «Vorrei bacciar...» at 2:14, like he's lightly flirting with the girl in a garden full of flowers, then at 3:05, he revisits the same line with utter passion and almost darkness in the voice leading to the A and the finish with «l'ebbrezza del amor!» (the intoxication - like drunkenness - of love).
Tom, I hadn't listened to this beauty is quite a while; now, I can't stop the tears from flowing. Tender, beautiful, and powerful, all at the same time. My son, who is a big opera fan and loves Bjorling, is finally coming around to the incredible tenor who was Enrico Caruso.
I think they are both great, Bjorling has one of the finest voices of the 20th century. His only other rivals in my humble opinion, are Caruso and di Stefano. We will probably not see the likes of these great singers again. Pavarotti was great, the young Johnathan Antonie is very good, but the pickings are slim!
Caruso non è stato il più grande in assoluto e su questo non ci sono dubbi. Ma quando voglio ritrovare il bello della vita allora ascolto Caruso Il più grande interprete in assoluto . Altri non ne conosco. Grazie Enrico
BELLÍSIMA CANCIÓN QUE SURGE DE LOS TIEMPOS, EN LA VOZ INIGUALABLE DEL GRAN TENOR ENRICO cARUSO. LA RESTAURACIÓN DE ESTA JOYA MUSICAL ES NOTABLE Y LOS AMANTES DEL BEL CANTO LO AGRADECEMOS SINCERAMENTE.
During the 1920's and the 1930's following his Death on Tuesday August 2nd 1921 RCA Victor and its then English Sister Company Reissued his Records and in 1956 Transferred some of His Records to Vinyl under licence by His Master's Voice in the Golden Treasury of Immortal Performances and I've got all the LP Records in that Serious and it was such a shame that he died before he had a chance to Make Electrical Recordings
I would come home from playing music at NJ niteclubs, at 3 am, put my Caruso 78's and LP's. His multi-dimensional voice and technique was overwhelming! My mother (97 yrs.) heard him at the old Met with her Italian father in 1918. My wish is to hear him in heaven on his best day, and confirm what I always suspected, he was and is truly the best ever!
2. " An intuitive genious with extraordinary empathetic abilities - wonderfully expressed here and in almost all of his recordings."says Tom Frøkjær and I agree completly. Thank you,Tom, for sharing this precious jewel that gives us joy with his immense,timeless beauty.
I thank you, jd1906sf ! Caruso's art is timeless and communicates just as powerfully as 100 years ago. And along with it goes the touching story of how the kid from the slums of Naples, who went to school for just two years, rose to become probably the greatest tenor all times. His talent, hard work, charisma and not least his heart made him the standard for all to come.
Enrico Caruso era un tenore grande. Lui era l'ispirazione per tanti artisti. Lucio Dalla aveva scritto uno di suoui grande canzone di Caruso. Sempre sarà uno dei migliori, tra Pavarotti, Gigli, Domingo, Corelli.
È MARAVILHOSO OUVIR ESTAS BELISSIMAS CANÇÕES, TRAZ ME UMA RECORDAÇÃO INDESCRITIVEL, DO TEMPO QUE MEUS PAIS OUVIAM TODOS OS DOMINGOS. LÁ EM CASA. LAMENTO QUE HOJE NÃO TEMOS MAIS NINGUEM QUE OS SUBSTITUAM.
Thank you for posting these wonderful restorations with modern (audible!) orchestrations. These are some of the best ive heard which rightly keep his voice out front. I began collecting Cs recordings back in 1959 when all we could hear were the original 78s or the the reissues from the 30s where Victor attempted to do what is so well done here.
Hi Thomas, you are very welcome. I am glad you and others like my postings that all started when I first heard a restored recording of Una furtive lagrima - original recording from Feb. 1904. I felt I had to share this miracle voice with others. The restorations were not done by me. This digital restoration was done by a team in Austria. New orchestration, but the voice has been gently and expertly extracted with modern digital technology and beautifully integrated. Best, Tom
La Argentina fue el primer país de América que tuvo el privilegio de deleitarse con la voz de Enrico Caruso. Ello aconteció en 1899 en el Teatro de la Ópera. Luego volvió en 1900, 1901, 1903, 1915 -cuando realizó una breve pero intensa gira que abarcó las ciudades de Rosario, Córdoba y Tucumán- y en 1917; en dichas oportunidades participó en 135 representaciones líricas y en 18 conciertos. Su repertorio operístico incluyó 22 óperas, de las cuales estrenó para el público porteño Fedora, Saffo, Iris, La Reina de Saba (de Karl Goldmark), Yupanqui, Germania, Adriana Lecouvreur y Lodoletta. En total, Caruso convivió entre nosotros 546 días. La Argentina ocupó el tercer lugar en relación con el número total de participación en representaciones líricas: 861 en Norteamérica, 282 en Italia y 135 en nuestro país. En lo concerniente al número de su participación en recitales y conciertos, la Argentina ocupó el segundo lugar con 18. Por último, en lo que respecta al repertorio operístico abarcado por Caruso, lo encabezó Norteamérica con 37, seguida por Italia con 36 y, en tercer lugar, la Argentina con 22 óperas. Fuera de su Italia natal, Rusia y Buenos Aires consagraron mundialmente a Caruso. El 7 de julio de 1899, luego de poner en escena La Reina de Saba, el prestigioso matutino La Nación profetizó: “Caruso, el tenor de la voz preciosa, el gran Caruso, como tal vez se dirá algún día, cantó deliciosamente su romanza del segundo acto, y también hubo de repetirla”. El propio tenor, reconoció su consagración mundial en Buenos Aires. En efecto, a las pocas horas de arribar a nuestro país en 1915, en una entrevista que le concedió a un crítico del diario La Argentina, se entabló entre ambos este significativo diálogo: “-¿Qué impresión siente al llegar usted de nuevo a Buenos Aires después de tantos años? “-La de cumplir con un deber. Buenos Aires me consagró. Siento una inmensa satisfacción en ofrecer a la bella ciudad del Plata todo lo que creo tener de bueno. Quisiera cantar aquí como nunca he cantado para pagar la deuda de gratitud que tengo contraída con esta ciudad”. ¿Cómo fue la voz de Caruso? Nos lo dicen sus discos, más allá de las notorias limitaciones del sistema de grabación acústica. En su primera etapa, una voz purísima y brillante como una gema. Más tarde, progresivamente, un órgano vocal de acrecentada robustez y timbre áureo, siempre denso y aterciopelado, con reflejos casi baritonales y un volumen acaso superado por el de su antecesor Francesco Tamagno, el creador del Otello verdiano. Afirmamos la supremacía de Caruso sobre los restantes tenores de la época porque restituyó expresión a la ópera tradicional italiana y recortó desbordes y desplantes excesivos en aquella escuela cuyo realismo amenazaba, a la larga, con desacreditarla. Éste, entre otros, es el gran aporte estético de Caruso al arte del canto. Por su parte, el historiador y crítico Horacio Sanguinetti destacó: “La irrupción de Caruso marca el hito del siglo: se cantaba antes de un modo, se cantará luego de otro. Lo anterior es arcaico, mientras que hoy Domingo y Pavarotti siguen las huellas trazadas por el gigante napolitano”. Sabemos que en 1899 y en 1900 Caruso se alojó en el Splendid Hotel, ubicado en Avenida de Mayo y Lima. En las temporadas de 1915 y 1917 se instaló en una suite del Plaza Hotel y acostumbraba realizar agradables caminatas por la calle Florida. Frecuentó desde 1899 la casona de su tío Liberto Baldini, hermano de su amada madre, y se encariñó con su sobrino Roque, hijo de su prima hermana Sara y de Manuel Aulitta y del cual fue padrino de confirmación. Disfrutaba sus paseos en carruaje por la ciudad y entabló sincera amistad con Vicente di Nápoli Vita, Arturo Berruti, Enrique Larreta, Carlos Morra, Susana Torres de Castex y Pedro Barrera, entre muchos otros. Apasionado por la pintura recibió clases del eximio paisajista y retratista Felipe Galante y bajo la atenta supervisión de Angiolo Tommasi realizó un óleo del atractivo Lago de Palermo. Caruso poseía genialidad, no virtuosismo. Igual que a los grandes, al artista napolitano se lo divinizará en vida. En esa singular condición, el divo tuvo pleno conocimiento de su valor. Tanto más que él mismo, dotado de ese espíritu a toda prueba que se nutrió a cachetazos, supo poner distancia entre él y el mito. Prueba al canto: Caruso se autocaricaturizó. La creación artística no es obra de orgullo, de vanidad o de ambición. La creación auténtica, verdadera, es obra de amor y de humildad. Es el premio de la inocencia maravillada y entusiasmada. Apliquemos a Caruso el bello pensamiento del filósofo Michele Sciacca: “Yo quisiera que mi vida fuese un canto y no un discurso”. Su voz incomparable se hizo escuchar en varios países latinoamericanos: La Argentina, Uruguay, Brasil, México y Cuba. De no haber surgido inconvenientes de naturaleza múltiple, otros países hermanos habrían apreciado las cualidades del artista napolitano: Chile en 1899 y Puerto Rico, Venezuela y Perú en 1920. Al parecer, la gira que le propuso a Caruso el empresario Bracale en 1920 abarcaba otros países latinoamericanos, además de los mencionados precedentemente. En una carta que le envió el divo a su esposa Dorothy, fechada el 19 de mayo de 1920 en el Hotel Sevilla de La Habana, Cuba, escribió: “Bracale se halla ahora conmigo, y me habla del Perú, Venezuela, Puerto Rico y otras ciudades y países, y temo que me haga perder mucho tiempo, porque tú sabes de qué forma los empresarios se esfuerzan por convencer a los artistas”. La fatiga y las consiguientes terribles cefalalgias no permitieron la gira en 1920. Con respecto a Chile, en 1899, la travesía era harto dificultosa en ese entonces. Es de lamentar, sinceramente, que dichas giras no se realizaran. Véase: PEDRO EDUARDO RIVERO, Caruso en la Argentina, Buenos Aires, Editorial Universitaria de Estudios Avanzados, 1994, pp. 25-31.
Just wonderful! No wonder Mario Lanza & so many other tenors loved him. Each time I listen to this selection, done by Caruso or Mario Lanza, it brings me to tears. Thanks for this heartwarming vdeo.
@alber6161 Your sentence " Whenever i Hear or read the word ''Caruso'', my antennas start blinking...." is priceless. I am a younin as I have only knowm Rico for 58 years. Many more years of listening and regards-John

This is Caruso with - again - in a beautiful interpretation of this song. To me, his talent lies in being able to reproduce the same line with totally different feelings. Note how he sings «Vorrei bacciar...» at 2:14, like he's lightly flirting with the girl in a garden full of flowers, then at 3:05, he revisits the same line with utter passion and almost darkness in the voice leading to the A and the finish with «l'ebbrezza del amor!» (the intoxication - like drunkenness - of love).
Tom, I hadn't listened to this beauty is quite a while; now, I can't stop the tears from flowing. Tender, beautiful, and powerful, all at the same time. My son, who is a big opera fan and loves Bjorling, is finally coming around to the incredible tenor who was Enrico Caruso.
I think they are both great, Bjorling has one of the finest voices of the 20th century. His only other rivals in my humble opinion, are Caruso and di Stefano. We will probably not see the likes of these great singers again. Pavarotti was great, the young Johnathan Antonie is very good, but the pickings are slim!
Enrico Caruso sei nel mio cuore❤

Oh, how beautiful! Thank you, James and Tom.
Such a gorgeous, tender, manly voice!
Caruso non è stato il più grande in assoluto e su questo non ci sono dubbi. Ma quando voglio ritrovare il bello della vita allora ascolto Caruso Il più grande interprete in assoluto . Altri non ne conosco. Grazie Enrico
Io invece ascolto Mario del Monaco altri non ne conosco...la sua voce è il bello della vita
Sublime voce!!!
Esta canção foi gravada por muitos bons tenores e barítonos mas Caruso, nesta interpretação é imbatível! (23/9/16).
Amazing grace.
Thank you so much for sharing
BELLÍSIMA CANCIÓN QUE SURGE DE LOS TIEMPOS, EN LA VOZ INIGUALABLE DEL GRAN TENOR ENRICO cARUSO. LA RESTAURACIÓN DE ESTA JOYA MUSICAL ES NOTABLE Y LOS AMANTES DEL BEL CANTO LO AGRADECEMOS SINCERAMENTE.
During the 1920's and the 1930's following his Death on Tuesday August 2nd 1921 RCA Victor and its then English Sister Company Reissued his Records and in 1956 Transferred some of His Records to Vinyl under licence by His Master's Voice in the Golden Treasury of Immortal Performances and I've got all the LP Records in that Serious and it was such a shame that he died before he had a chance to Make Electrical Recordings
I would come home from playing music at NJ niteclubs, at 3 am, put my Caruso 78's and LP's. His multi-dimensional voice and technique was overwhelming! My mother (97 yrs.) heard him at the old Met with her Italian father in 1918. My wish is to hear him in heaven on his best day, and confirm what I always suspected, he was and is truly the best ever!
thanks for the post . and thanks to mister caruso, the voice of god,for shows how the art sounds
Wow! How lucky to have discovered this performance!
Impressionante per bellezza di canto ed espressione...forze la più bella interpretazione in assoluto...unico---saluti
Quante persone che non ci sono più l'hanno portata nel cuore.

" An intuitive genious with extraordinary empathetic abilities - wonderfully expressed here and in almost all of his recordings."says Tom Frøkjær and I agree completly.
Thank you,Tom, for sharing this precious jewel that gives us joy with his immense,timeless beauty.
I thank you, jd1906sf ! Caruso's art is timeless and communicates just as powerfully as 100 years ago.
And along with it goes the touching story of how the kid from the slums of Naples, who went to school for just two years, rose to become probably the greatest tenor all times. His talent, hard work, charisma and not least his heart made him the standard for all to come.
Es incomparable grande por siempre
o unico adjetivo que me ocorre e: FANTASTICO!
Sensazionale , emozionante ... CARUSO!!!
Enrico Caruso era un tenore grande. Lui era l'ispirazione per tanti artisti. Lucio Dalla aveva scritto uno di suoui grande canzone di Caruso. Sempre sarà uno dei migliori, tra Pavarotti, Gigli, Domingo, Corelli.
È MARAVILHOSO OUVIR ESTAS BELISSIMAS CANÇÕES, TRAZ ME UMA RECORDAÇÃO INDESCRITIVEL, DO TEMPO QUE MEUS PAIS OUVIAM TODOS OS DOMINGOS. LÁ EM CASA. LAMENTO QUE HOJE NÃO TEMOS MAIS NINGUEM QUE OS SUBSTITUAM.
Magical!!
Thank you for all you are doing to bring these treasures to the notice of such as I.
Repito es el mejor de todos no hay quien lo supere
Beautiful
many of us are happy to hear some of our heroes, led by Caruso in technically improved recordings, Bravo to technology.JRT
Interpretazione UNICA!!!
Thank you for posting these wonderful restorations with modern (audible!) orchestrations. These are some of the best ive heard which rightly keep his voice out front. I began collecting Cs recordings back in 1959 when all we could hear were the original 78s or the the reissues from the 30s where Victor attempted to do what is so well done here.
Hi Thomas, you are very welcome. I am glad you and others like my postings that all started when I first heard a restored recording of Una furtive lagrima - original recording from Feb. 1904. I felt I had to share this miracle voice with others. The restorations were not done by me. This digital restoration was done by a team in Austria. New orchestration, but the voice has been gently and expertly extracted with modern digital technology and beautifully integrated. Best, Tom
Tom Frøkjær We are greatly in your debt for these fine re-issues.

+Henry Webb I am glad you like my commitment to Caruso. All my pleasure to share this.
Caruso es un inmortal voz superior
Superb! TY James for sharing and Tom for posting.
La Argentina fue el primer país de América que tuvo el privilegio de deleitarse con la voz de Enrico Caruso. Ello aconteció en 1899 en el Teatro de la Ópera. Luego volvió en 1900, 1901, 1903, 1915 -cuando realizó una breve pero intensa gira que abarcó las ciudades de Rosario, Córdoba y Tucumán- y en 1917; en dichas oportunidades participó en 135 representaciones líricas y en 18 conciertos. Su repertorio operístico incluyó 22 óperas, de las cuales estrenó para el público porteño Fedora, Saffo, Iris, La Reina de Saba (de Karl Goldmark), Yupanqui, Germania, Adriana Lecouvreur y Lodoletta. En total, Caruso convivió entre nosotros 546 días.
La Argentina ocupó el tercer lugar en relación con el número total de participación en representaciones líricas: 861 en Norteamérica, 282 en Italia y 135 en nuestro país. En lo concerniente al número de su participación en recitales y conciertos, la Argentina ocupó el segundo lugar con 18. Por último, en lo que respecta al repertorio operístico abarcado por Caruso, lo encabezó Norteamérica con 37, seguida por Italia con 36 y, en tercer lugar, la Argentina con 22 óperas. Fuera de su Italia natal, Rusia y Buenos Aires consagraron mundialmente a Caruso. El 7 de julio de 1899, luego de poner en escena La Reina de Saba, el prestigioso matutino La Nación profetizó: “Caruso, el tenor de la voz preciosa, el gran Caruso, como tal vez se dirá algún día, cantó deliciosamente su romanza del segundo acto, y también hubo de repetirla”.
El propio tenor, reconoció su consagración mundial en Buenos Aires. En efecto, a las pocas horas de arribar a nuestro país en 1915, en una entrevista que le concedió a un crítico del diario La Argentina, se entabló entre ambos este significativo diálogo:
“-¿Qué impresión siente al llegar usted de nuevo a Buenos Aires después de tantos años?
“-La de cumplir con un deber. Buenos Aires me consagró. Siento una inmensa satisfacción en ofrecer a la bella ciudad del Plata todo lo que creo tener de bueno. Quisiera cantar aquí como nunca he cantado para pagar la deuda de gratitud que tengo contraída con esta ciudad”.
¿Cómo fue la voz de Caruso? Nos lo dicen sus discos, más allá de las notorias limitaciones del sistema de grabación acústica. En su primera etapa, una voz purísima y brillante como una gema. Más tarde, progresivamente, un órgano vocal de acrecentada robustez y timbre áureo, siempre denso y aterciopelado, con reflejos casi baritonales y un volumen acaso superado por el de su antecesor Francesco Tamagno, el creador del Otello verdiano. Afirmamos la supremacía de Caruso sobre los restantes tenores de la época porque restituyó expresión a la ópera tradicional italiana y recortó desbordes y desplantes excesivos en aquella escuela cuyo realismo amenazaba, a la larga, con desacreditarla. Éste, entre otros, es el gran aporte estético de Caruso al arte del canto.
Por su parte, el historiador y crítico Horacio Sanguinetti destacó: “La irrupción de Caruso marca el hito del siglo: se cantaba antes de un modo, se cantará luego de otro. Lo anterior es arcaico, mientras que hoy Domingo y Pavarotti siguen las huellas trazadas por el gigante napolitano”.
Sabemos que en 1899 y en 1900 Caruso se alojó en el Splendid Hotel, ubicado en Avenida de Mayo y Lima. En las temporadas de 1915 y 1917 se instaló en una suite del Plaza Hotel y acostumbraba realizar agradables caminatas por la calle Florida. Frecuentó desde 1899 la casona de su tío Liberto Baldini, hermano de su amada madre, y se encariñó con su sobrino Roque, hijo de su prima hermana Sara y de Manuel Aulitta y del cual fue padrino de confirmación.
Disfrutaba sus paseos en carruaje por la ciudad y entabló sincera amistad con Vicente di Nápoli Vita, Arturo Berruti, Enrique Larreta, Carlos Morra, Susana Torres de Castex y Pedro Barrera, entre muchos otros. Apasionado por la pintura recibió clases del eximio paisajista y retratista Felipe Galante y bajo la atenta supervisión de Angiolo Tommasi realizó un óleo del atractivo Lago de Palermo.
Caruso poseía genialidad, no virtuosismo. Igual que a los grandes, al artista napolitano se lo divinizará en vida. En esa singular condición, el divo tuvo pleno conocimiento de su valor. Tanto más que él mismo, dotado de ese espíritu a toda prueba que se nutrió a cachetazos, supo poner distancia entre él y el mito. Prueba al canto: Caruso se autocaricaturizó.
La creación artística no es obra de orgullo, de vanidad o de ambición. La creación auténtica, verdadera, es obra de amor y de humildad. Es el premio de la inocencia maravillada y entusiasmada. Apliquemos a Caruso el bello pensamiento del filósofo Michele Sciacca: “Yo quisiera que mi vida fuese un canto y no un discurso”.
Su voz incomparable se hizo escuchar en varios países latinoamericanos: La Argentina, Uruguay, Brasil, México y Cuba. De no haber surgido inconvenientes de naturaleza múltiple, otros países hermanos habrían apreciado las cualidades del artista napolitano: Chile en 1899 y Puerto Rico, Venezuela y Perú en 1920. Al parecer, la gira que le propuso a Caruso el empresario Bracale en 1920 abarcaba otros países latinoamericanos, además de los mencionados precedentemente. En una carta que le envió el divo a su esposa Dorothy, fechada el 19 de mayo de 1920 en el Hotel Sevilla de La Habana, Cuba, escribió: “Bracale se halla ahora conmigo, y me habla del Perú, Venezuela, Puerto Rico y otras ciudades y países, y temo que me haga perder mucho tiempo, porque tú sabes de qué forma los empresarios se esfuerzan por convencer a los artistas”.
La fatiga y las consiguientes terribles cefalalgias no permitieron la gira en 1920. Con respecto a Chile, en 1899, la travesía era harto dificultosa en ese entonces. Es de lamentar, sinceramente, que dichas giras no se realizaran.

beh del grande Caruso, il Maestro dei maestri, che comento si puà fare, se non unico e stupendo.
My mother's preferred song and my eyes becoming moist..tks for upoading!
I remember in my childhood when I was very young, my father sang "Music Prohibita" and I listened with delight.
Thanks for uploading it!
Best of the best!!!
Just wonderful! No wonder Mario Lanza & so many other tenors loved him. Each time I listen to this selection, done by Caruso or Mario Lanza, it brings me to tears. Thanks for this heartwarming vdeo.
Calil Elias - sem sombra de dúvida. Inigualável.
This has given Caruso a new coat of paint. He's never sounded lovlier.
D'accordo
Henry Webb
Muito obrigado Tomas, por compartilhar tão bela musica e com certeza um dos maiores tenores, abs.
incredibly beautiful.
@alber6161

I am a younin as I have only knowm Rico for 58 years.
