No other tenor in all history ever sang this aria quite the way Caruso did.

There is one bad mistake early in the commentary. Caruso's first recordings were made on flat discs, not cylinders. FW Gaisberg first recorded Caruso in a Milan hotel in March 1902 - ten titles were issued by Gramophone and Typewriter [later HMV]. A second G&T series was made in November, also on flat discs. Only in 1903 did Caruso make 10 recordings for AICC, three of which were issues as Pathe cylinders, the other 7 only as Zonophone flat discs.

Caruso made no other cylinder recordings.

I love Domingo's remarks on Caruso. :) (Domingo might be considered a modern Caruso.) I'm glad Pavarotti had something to say, but there's one tenor missing: Jose Carreras. I wish he would've said a few words about Caruso too.

Caruso

Beyond great- Caruso's singing voice was the first I ever heard. After 50 years of listening to opera - Caruso's uniqueness grows. Melchior in his own repetoire is the only tenor with similar gifts and talents.

Thanks-John

@65attila: Thanks, John. I remember very clearly the first time I heard the golden voice of Caruso. Bought a Caruso LP around 1972 (actually my first "operatic experience") and was completely enchanted. A voice and empathy that somehow escapes definition.
