1905 WOW and his voice sounds awesome !
One of the best voices ever there . Bravo!
My favourite version. Tears, man, tears. Beautiful. Turiddu's mom staring at him in the chicken house.
Thank you.
The gold standard of all tenors. Its divinely inspired for sure.
Un tenore genio? Non è necessario Un tenore affascina x la qualità della voce e l'interpretazione
😂❤Прекрасно,ярко,лучезарно звучиит голос Великог Дона Энрико.Голос его переживет века.❤😊
New to the opera? One year?This is the best.I's make you feel alive.I read about him when i was a teen.Now after hearing others nothing compares with Caruso.No technologies;but the feelings!
It took me years to locate this. It is used by WNET Channel 13 the New York City PBS affiliate in one of their promos. I even wrote and then called the station and they weren’t able to help me. Then I accidentally came upon this while I was on RUclips!
Enrico Caruso(1873-1921)
was an Italian operatic tenor with beautiful and tender voice.
Stupefacente!!! Thank you tomfroekjaer for posting this video.
Una voce bella e potente
I love the more polished 1910 version, but there is something emotionally raw about this performance, which is so touching, and keeps drawing me back to it.
Não canso de ouvir. É perfeito demais!!!
So soft and beautiful was his voice!
Dear Tom.
I'm having a 'Caruso' day, thanks to you, Sir. For my money, this is the definitive recording of this very difficult aria. And, it was done early on, when he was still having a little trouble with 'La donna'. Interesting!
I doubt if in 1905 we get a total picture of Caruso"s singing on record. He still sounds much better than anyone else. That is what is amazing and why my grandad who heard him on stage was only so-so about the recordings.
Thank tou for posting, John
Please tell us more details about your grandad listened Caruso by live
The most amazing part to me is that there are recordings that are over 100 years old. Go humanity!
"The basement of the tenor-vocal building", this how Luciano Pavarotti defined Enrico Caruso...he was so rigth!!!, Caruso's emsion is a new wave of verism into a world eager to receive reality into the lyrical stage,BRAVOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The greatest, el más grande!!
tomfroekjaer-Cortis O Lola is IMHO the best of all recorded performances of this gorgeous aria.
It is a pity that the recording quality, hi fidelity, was not invented in time to capture what it was like to hear Caruso sing live. No one alive has ever heard Caruso sing. And we are the poorer for this. I am glad that at least primitive recording methods have allowed us an insight into his voice quality.
His phrasing is awesome though.
Valahányszor hallgatom, arra kell jutnom, hogy ő a legjobb. Whenever I listen to him, I have to conclude that he is the best.
BRAVO! Caruso & Bjorling, stll unmatched! Thank u for this video.
Exactly! Bjorling is my idol, but then I hear Caruso saying, "Ah, but just listen to this"
I heard this song near the end of the new HBO show "Boardwalk Empire." A man was listening to this when getting killed. I cannot explain the EMOTION that scene exuded when it was being played.
Fantastic use of the song and a fantastic song in general.
Here for that very reason
Me too 😂👌
It was Big Jim Colosimo
Caruso, Unico!
They play a snippet of this on PBS kids between cartoons!
The haunting 1910 version will always be my favorite, followed by The several I've heard by DiStefano.
Now it is strange that you should say that, because like you, my favourite is the 1910 version, but this is the one I feel is the most haunting, so raw and emotional.
BEAUTIFULL...UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL...THANKS FOR SHARING IT.
wonderful
Beautiful, the kind of music that makes the heart ache- when sung well as it is here.
One of Mascagni's most beautiful passages.
As always, makes you wish for better sound. :-|
EL M EJOR , ENRICO !!!!!
Grande Caruso!!!
tomfroekjaer- Thank you so much for your response and opinion. Not only is this IMHO the finest version of this lovely aria,but it is also one of the best singing performances that I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Besides Cortis there are a few others worth hearing and they are named,Fleta,Lazaro,and Pertile. They are all so great that I could not choose between them. Have a great day.
GRANDE MAESTRO CARUSO!! UNICO!!!! :)
Il più grande. Senza dubbio
BRAVISSIMOOOOO, CARUSOOOOOOO
Прекрасно!
Yes, paulostroff99, certainly both Gigli and di Stefano were spectacular tenors and a pride of Mankind. I do not at all disregard these - or any other fantastic tenors like Bjorling, Lanza, Pavarotti, etc.
My purpose of posting these around 90 arias on RUclips with Caruso was to remind people of the person who created the standard for modern tenors.
Tom Frøkjær That is an immense service you do to anybody that loves opera. I thank you wholeheartedly, we owe you a lot.

@wollestoncraft: Thanks, Carole. I hope that these (any) masters of singing with the heart will never be forgotten !
Superb! TY for posting this gem.
Grazie mille!!! grande Maestro
TY Tom for posting. Lovely singing.
Just listened to the Cortis version and you're right - spectacular!
despite that technolgy is not the same he sound so good Bravo!!!!
Most modern tenors I cant even listen to anything they sing. 10 seconds in and I feel my ears being murdered by exagerrated nazel tones lacking color ,emotion and carrying power. Caruso is a diffrent story. Top quality UNBEATABLE
Bellissima
great !
Nice to have a civilized exchange of viewpoints with you. - And by the way the Cortis Nessum dorma is, I believe, the best I've ever heard.
La grande classe !
avrebbe grande classe!!!!!!..Ma.per carità!!
bocelli è un cantante a cui Pavarotti predisse, tempo addietro (e non so proprio come osò dire una scelleratezza del genere ), che sarebbe diventato il più grande tenore del mondo. Tuttavia, dal numero delle visualizzazioni dei suoi post e dai "mi piace "che ha qui in youtube si ha l'impressione che siano tutti impazziti e solo perchè quanto ha dichiarato Pavarotti è stato preso come vangelo.
Bocelli è per me anche uno scarso cantante di canzoni, ma siccome Pavarotti ha detto che sarebbe diventato il migliore tenore del mondo , tutti si chinano a Bocelli come fosse un vero artista....., mentre questo signore , che io compatisco per la sua cecità, ci rende ridicoli quando , immancabilmente ci rappresenta nelle trasmissioni importanti che la RAI fa in Eurovisone.
RAI svegliati, bocelli è un grande "Nulla".
Ma no cara Bruna, non sono tutti impazziti, sono soltanto pubblicità e grandi agenzie che fanno il loro gran lavoro verso un vuoto giro di affari neomelodico di infima qualità.
@@brunaazzurra Sa bene che gli orecchianti hanno la voce più grossa insieme ai pompatori delle multinazionali del disco...
@@brunaazzurra pienamente d'accordo, meno male che qualcuno la pensa come me! Credo sia la più grande cantonata che abbia preso Pavarotti!!!!
Love caruso's this and del monaco's.
Caruso, the great tenor.
What Caruso could have done with the high quality digital recording gear we have nowdays!
He did pretty darn well with what he had back then.
It was not really till Victor started recording in the church in Camden that they were able to have a room like 826. It was one of the best studios they ever had and was kept just from 1903 to 1904...I have around 20 recordings of singers who made records there. Caruso's last series of recordings were made in the church.
Insuperable en la ópera verista.
Si è unico, ma ne vorrei un altro...
@tomfroekjaer Great minds...I've already subscribed to her channel. Have a great evening, and thanks again.
Nice.
განუმეორებელი!!!!!!!!!!!
Grande
@goodboybuddy1 You're very welcome, James - great channel she has indeed, and not only just Caruso uploads.
Il gigante
@Joelomite The man was James Colosimo a.k.a Big Jim Colosimo, and yes, It's really emotive
tomfroekjaer.Yours is a noble and historically positive attitude -in thanking the grand master for all that he has given to us.
melzerboy-Thank you for your kind comment. Music being subjective-I respect your view. In certain ways I even agree with it,but for beauty of voice I think Antonio Cortis excels. I'm pleased that you believe as I do -that his Nesun Dorma is as good as it gets.
This recording was made at Victor's second studio in New York on 5th Ave. Acoustically it was not as good as room 826 in Carnegie Hall. But it was not surrounded by vocal studios either. That was the sad and main reason for leaving room 826. Recording Caruso and a number of other singers with a wide range of harmonics was troublesome for the acoustic process. To combat this there were times when cotton was put into the horn to deaden the vocal effects. This while solving an issue for recording also limited the quality of what was being recorded. While I am not not saying that there was any cotton used here, I have noticed in the 1905 recordings a more distant sound of the voice and a stronger piano. Not as well mixed as the 1904 recordings. They seem to lack the feeling of the 1904 recordings in which you can hear the room resonance the brilliant quality which that produced. I find that true for all the singers who recorded in that room.
Émouvant ! 5*****
Ohne Schnörkel und opernhaftes „Beiwerk“…😀😀😀
@meltzerboy -Antonio Cortis ruled on this aria.
tomfroekjaer-Those are 2 very valid points. I also very much like the di Stefano and the Gigli versions.
ShawDAMAN, yes - unfortunately mostly poor recordings. Just uploaded a 1910 recording of the same aria (video response).
Cheers, Tom
The REAL reason why Edward Bernays could use Uncle Siggy's PR/brainwashing tech, and make Caruso a household name: He was Caruso.
@goodboybuddy1 Hi James, I also have a Caruso day today :-)
This aria is indeed very difficult, but he pulls it off beautifully.
... Today I received a personal message from a youtube user who has uploaded some of her own 78 Caruso recordings - absolutely worth listening to: youtube etc slash user/thegirlofmusic1
Great that people all over the world "rediscover" Caruso.
Cheers, Tom
Life story caruso
I'd like to see this in a Quentin Tarantino movie. Maybe as the intro....
According to the definition, you're right. I was basically just parroting others who had English as their mothertongue and seemed to know what they were talking about :-)
How about 50% of the nuances were lost ?
adiós big Jim Colosimo
Makes sense, technically. Can't think of a single word/term that would describe this accurately, so I'll just call it lost sound.
Who are the 3 guys who didn't like this?
People who cannot understand the greatest voice of ALL opera singers, people with deaf ears and people who cannot see the beauty and phrasing of the greatest of all. in my 99th years I have met literally hundreds of people who heard him live or who sang with him, my father sang in the chorus at Covent Garden from 1909 till 1940, he himself was a very fine robust Welsh tenor voice up to a high D natural. he sang in every performance that Caruso sang until WW1, back to Caruso, my father had heard all of the great Tenors from before 1900 most were coming to the ends of very long careers , of course he spoke to many people in that time of the old timers and most were of the opinion that Tamagno and Gayarre were the best in those years and that some were alive who had heard Tittaschek , I think that is his name, but when they came to Caruso they said much as the Great Composers said he was the best they had ever heard, my father's opinion was there was no one better in Caruso's day, and he said and there has been no one since, that was said after a Gala performance at the London Palladium after hearing Lanza, he heard in the last years of his life the best after the war, Corelli, Del Monaco Fillipeschi, Di Stefano, Krause and the list goes on and on , he heard Domingo and Pavarotti Vickers, none he said come close to Caruso, he put it this way, Caruso's voice had so much NATURAL feeling and changes of colour and shadings, to have just one of these is great but to have all and they were natural to him he said, it was a voice that could bring people to tears and that means that it his done with heart and not the brain, he said of what you call Squillo some call it ring in the voice it was actually so powerful , that he said if you were standing behind him with scenery at the back of you, his voice would go out to the Gods of the Garden and come back and shake the the scenery, it was so perfect in its control and beauty, he saw many great singers who were watching in the sides of the stage cry and this includes one very famous Soprano who was in the Opera Faust that evening, his High C was exceptional and very Virile and Manly , he sang it a lot at the Garden especially in the Huguenots, Faust and Rigoletto, I do not like comparisons with other singers, my father said to me on his death bed, if I had to compare one tenor that he thought could be compared he said it would be Melchior, simply he said because like Caruso he was unique, his other favourite Tenors at that time, in the House were Zenatello Martinelli, Zanelli ,Gigli, Pertile, Ansseau Franz. Borgioli, and after the war Corelli, Del Monaco and he much enjoyed Pavarotti, he thought that Domingo's voice had great beauty he heard him in Tosca, he said that he greatly admired Del Monaco he said exciting, much like Martinelli, you knew you had seen a performance with them two he said, he did not like Lauri Volpi who he said was rather not nice to people, also his vibrato he said when he first came to Covent Garden was very 19 century, fast like De Lucia and Bonci, one of my father's friends was the English tenor Walter Widdop when he was in the area he always popped around to my parent's house in Buckinghamshire, I liked him also a very good Tenor and man.
So as you see I am a man at the end of a very long life, of being born in to a wonderfully musical family, I have heard that question many times, how good was Caruso, was this tenor better, that tenor better, I just said there was nobody better, I had the honour to talk to Giovanni Martinelli in 1962 after a lecture, I was then penning a few quotes for a well known Opera Magazine at that time, I said to him, I met you in 1937 during the Coronation Season I had heard him sing a truly fantastic performance of Aida, I asked for an autograph, ah he said the young man who was with his mother, I said that his correct Sir, we talked a little bit more and I explained to him that in 1919 he was rehearsing a performance of Ballo in Maschera at Covent Garden with Emmy Destinn and some members of the Chorus were there, I said my father was one and they asked you and Emmy Destinn about Caruso, Emmy Destinn said that Caruso was the greatest and will always be, you said much the same and you said that he would have wished his great friend to come to London again, it was not to be, he then said, this is in 1962, the amount of times I have been asked this question, I can tell you I will not tire of saying it, you can wait another 100 years you will not have another Caruso.
So these three guys or dolls have deaf ears.

@meltzerboy Martinelli's Lola is good.
@DanyelHawkes: 1905 - miserable recording quality.
- The empathetic genious of an (almost) illiterate Neapolitan "peasant" conquers the world...
1910 VERSION IS THE BEST.
No, there is too much reverb.
I love the 1910 version, but there is something so emotionally raw about this one. I come back to it again and again.
yes... Pippo did it.
This voice washes of all bad.
....
meltzerboy-IMHO Cortis did better even Caruso on this gordeous aria. He is beyond phenomenal on this and other arias.
Yes, you are right - sounds better than Caruso. His rendition is absolutely fabulous!
Maybe, though, we have to take into account that Cortis had two definite advantages over Caruso:
1. He was able to sing into a microphone (and the recording techniques in 1905 were so misrable that 50% of the overtones were lost)
2. And he also had the advantage of heard Caruso's interpretaion of the aria ...
WOWOWOOWOWOWWOWOW
You can't hear overtones on recordings. Please go read what overtones are.
Modulation mit 'Bass Booster Apps':
Die Klangcharakteristik der Stimmen und Instrumente wird dadurch nicht verändert. Weil jedoch die mMn. *kaum wahrnehmbaren* Obertöne verstärkt werden, gewinnt die Wiedergabe an 'Präsenz' bzw. Brillanz (die Akustik wirkt ebenfalls realer) und *Text* ist viel besser *verständlich.*
(An der *Tonquelle - z.B. Gesang, Violine, Orgel etc.* sind unter anderem die Obertöne maßgeblich mit-verantwortlich für die Qualität des Gesamterlebnisses. Je weiter entfernt ein Zuhörer, umso mehr lässt die Signalintensität nach - bei *hohen* Frequenzen *schneller* als tiefere... Für ältere Aufzeichnungen bereits relevant beim Input in alle im Raum postierten Mikrofone. Dem wird mit neuester Aufnahmetechnik natürlich Rechnung getragen. Bei früheren Produktionen wirkt hier mAn. eine Crescendo-Verstärkung der in einer Aufnahme geschwächt, aber *original* enthaltenen höchsten Frequenzen der Aufzeichnung >>3 kHz diesem Hochtondefizit leicht entgegen. - Hören Sie selbst: fast unglaublich; evtl. recht gut an Begleitinstrumenten erkennbar.)
Bitte vergleichen Sie mit/ohne EQ ... ein etwas getrübtes 'Portrait' wird bemerkenswert schärfer. Auch an 'Surrogatparametern' (Instrumente oder *Text)* ist der realistischere Klang erkennbar. Warum, kann man am Graph der Funktion, die aus der *genauen* Regler-Position (kein preset; manuell *präzise* einrichten) resultiert und eine Crescendo-Verstärkung der hohen Frequenzen zeigt, diskutieren: Er erscheint im Display. Wiesehr hochwertige Lautsprecher klangverbessernd wirken, ist bekannt. Dass schon ein EQ das Ergebnis günstig beeinflussen kann, ist weniger geläufig.
Try Schipa's version of this one
Then what about Gigli, Lanza, Björling or Pavarotti? Or another 30 or more tenors? Schipa was Schipa and Caruso and all the others had their own fantastic voices.
@@tomfroekjaer because I think it fits particularly well with the aria and it's worth a listen.. I should have said "also" try Schipa's.
@@alvarodecampostabacaria4223 Sorry ... I often get upset when comments seem to make Caruso less than what I think he was. Schipa was a genius like Caruso. Could you link to a particular version of Schipa that you like?

Depend on your own personal taste. I prefer slightly softer sound of voice in this aria. Still I love Mario del Monaco.

The nuances you want to hear aren't there. The nuances happen when people sing in front of you and manipulate the "space" they are singing into via throat muscles, depending on the opera/aria/role/phrase. Even with technology as it is, you can only hear, crescendo/decrescendo, cover, no cover, dark, bright; However, what you don't hear/feel, is how these singers manipulate the sound, and that is the magic of opera. And this is why opera has become so sad, because no one can do this anymore.
HOW COULD ANYBODY EXPLAIN CARUSO´S CHARM? Not the best technique, not a big voice, not that beatiful, SIMPLY CHARMING
Caruso > Pavarotti > Bocelli
Bocelli NON E' UN TENORE, ma solo un cantante POP.
bocelli?? ma chi è????
Tenor, is not a professional title. Tenor means vocal category.
Bocelli is a tenor, no matter what he sings. He has, however, so much to do with Caruso or Pavarotti, like a child's tricycle with a Ferrari.
EH no, Bocelli ha la voce che appartiene alla categoria di tenore, ma questo non fa di lui un cantante lirico. Cioè la voce di tenore non fa di lui un tenore come Lauri Volpi, Gigli, Pavarotti o Caruso ;)
@@ursmue1937 a natural tenor is someone who can reach tenors' notes. A lyrical tenor is a trained operatic tenor.
