Caruso's lyricism is evident not only in his voice but in his very soul. This lasted up until his last performance .It is this wonderful quality that sets him apart from all other tenors.
@smemr This is an example of a case of lack of absorbing Caruso's voice. He was capable of giving this high note whenever he wanted. He did not preferred transposing, he chose doing it only when his voice would sound the most beutiful. This should be understood by all opera lovers. His was an imcomparable voice. It took me fifty years to fully appreciate it. And when it happens, I promise you will feel in heaven.
From what I understand...recording tech. often only captured the ring of the voice and very little of the body of the tone with all of its rich overtones. That's why the tone sounds hollow, but the sense of expression and line is still great.
Versuchen Sie doch mal meine weiter o.a. Equalizer-Einstellung; Sie werden überrascht sein, wie klar und präsent die Stimmen und der "hohle Ton" plötzlich klingen.
Curious-is Caruso singing the high C at the end? Many tenors opt for the lower ending and I am surprised Caruso would go for the high ending given he often preferred to transpose.
@kjpporland. I take it that your opinion on Ferraro is voiced from the Tumbleweed Trail. Tumble what? Tumbletrailmix? When an opinion is markedly different from the rest of the world, it is not immediately wrong, therefore. But whoever voices it needs to clear his ears of tumbleweed.
"He had a Highball", Geri, and he outsung your arrogant little voice by a final gamescore of 76-24. Farrar was a pissy, arrogant, small voiced, fashion goddess of the period. Her individual recordings were of little merit. Her technique? Below average for the period. Why couldn't Caruso have recorded this with someone else? However, one of Caruso's better recordings from the Grand Prize label era.
The two of them must have been sensational and electrifying on stage together.

I'd love to hear what they sounded like with today's recording equipment.

Sie haben völlig recht; und die Restaurationen sind heute schon sehr gut mAn.

*EQ-Regelung* ist *KEINE* Änderung einer mgl. zugrunde liegenden Restauration. Sie wirkt wie z.B. eine 'Kirchenorgel stimmen' oder eine 'OhrBrille' und kann (bei alten Aufnahmen fast stets) zu brillanterem Kontrast der Wiedergabe führen. Das Schöne ist, dass es ohne großen Aufwand erreicht wird. Wer die Musikanlage vom Handy aus (Bluetooth Audio) steuert, sollte damit keine Probleme haben. Intensität der BBooster-(EQ) App bitte *vollständig* nutzen; Gesamtlautstärke ggf auf der externen Anlage einstellen!
Es ist NICHT leicht, mittels eines EQ eine merkliche Besserung der Klangqualität antiker Aufnahmen zu finden! Hierzu gibt's *kein* Preset. Die angegebene Präzisionseinstellung© hat hunderte Stunden meist kleiner Schritte der Verfeinerung erfordert (durch Abgleich vieler historischer Aufnahmen u. a. von ECaruso, LTetrazzini, Orgel, Violine, Klavier usw. - mit WFurtwängler, ATatum, KRichter, ACortot, SFiorentino etc), um alle Praxistests zu bestehen. Insofern ist nur *exakte, genaueste* ! Befolgung wirklich zielführend in "die 1. Reihe".
Great duet .

Yes, he sings the optional high C.
Wow

to hear Caruso as Pinkerton is a wonderul thing indeed...
Was ist *"Pinkerton"?*
:)
at 0.22 she sings he had an hyball becaus caruso dit have som alcoholics before he enter de studio.
Mit der o.a. EQ-Einstellung können Sie es ganz genau hören!
Da *Restaurationen* immer besser
werden, ist auch ihre *Wiedergabe*
wichtig: 'ne Übertragungskette ist
so gut wie ihr schwächstes GIied!

Good for her!
