It appears to me impossible that I should cease to exist, or that this active, restless spirit, equalty alive to joy and sorrow, should be only organized dust....ready to fly abroad the moment the spring snaps, or the spark goes out, which kept it together. surely something resides in this heart that is not perishable....and life is more than just a dream...
This is one of the 1930s electrical "recreations" of Caruso's recordings in which a small orchestra has been superimposed over the original - which can still be heard in the background. To my mind, this is more effective than the overblown, symphony orchestra used in the modern digital versions released in the last decade or so.
может быть у Карузо и есть баритональные нотки, но душа то поет, говорят, что душа весит всего 4 грамма и расположена неизвестно где. от голоса поет все, что есть в теле живого человека, а может и мертвеца оживит?
This is Neapolitan Enrico singing a Neapolitan song - feel free to listen any other performances for comparison. If you find a better one by another artist, let me know.
@tomfroekjaer I mentioned before that I prefer this version because it takes me back to the Neapolitan era like no other. Sure, Lanza does it very well, but his version just doesn't give me as strong a feeling for the era.
@wiseroldfart Caruso and Neapolitan songs. Can hardly get any better. Lanza was an Italian American - couldn't ever communicate the same as the Neapolitan Caruso.
@tomfroekjaer I always put Caruso on a pedestal by himself& it's really unfair to compare anyone with EC.Many tenors held Caruso in the highest esteem,stating that Caruso was the best. Including, but not limited to,Lanza,Pavarotti MDM,Di Stefano,Corelli&Volpi.I think Di Stefano,Gigli&Schipa sing the Neopolitans songs quite well,and everyone else is just so so.It can be said that no one communicated the so called American songs as well as Lanza, Espescially the very famous Italian&Spanish Tenors
i read his life story and it is very inspiring and it proves that 'an idle mind is devil's workshop!" So we must keep on working hard against all odds like him! :)
Enrico was indisputably great but Lanza's version was better. Whenever I hear anybody else, it just cements for me that as controversial as he was, Mario has no peers vocally. His life was all too short but then again, Caruso didn't live to be an old man either. Mario went out at 38, Enrico at 48. We are fortunate that both were with us.
@Lovelytenor1 I know this is written two days late, but I still agree with you. I am unfortunate to not have been born yet during his time, yet he is one of my all-time favorite singers. Thank goodness we can still hear these marvelous recordings..and I hope they will still exist for future generations. His recordings should be a good starting point for those newly-acquainted to opera, as well as required listening for fledgling opera singers.
Faz dezessete anos que não tenho minha avó perto de mim. Mas quando ouço essa música, como por encanto, consigo senti-la ao meu lado... O poder da canção italiana. Saudades de vc, vó Dora...
La nostra Napoli ha dato i natali a Caruso, Bovio, Di Giacomo, al Principe De' Curtis, a Scarpetta, ai De' Filippo, ai Maggio, e questo elenco comprende solo alcuni dei piu' grandi di sempre. Grazie Napoli. E intitoliamo l' areoporto di Capodichino a Enrico Caruso, la piu' bella voce di sempre ! Sarebbe il minimo per ricordare il Tenore che a Napoli nacque e mori' e che ha reso Napoli e le sue canzoni immortali e conosciute ovunque ! Viva Napoli !
questa è musica NAPOLETANA NO ITALIANA.......QUESTA è NAPOLI NON IMMONDIZIA,CAMORRA E MALAVITA..............FIERO DI AVERE NAPOLI COME MIA CAPITALE............VIVA LA CAMPANIA E NULL'ALTRO.......
CON LE COSE POSITIVE NAPOLI E LA CAMPANIA NON DIVENTANO PIU IL PATTUME D'ITALIA..QUANDO INVECE SI PARLA DI DISCARICHE DI DISOCCUPAZIONE DI MALAVITA ALLORA NAPOLI DIVENTA IL PATTUME D'ITALIA.....FIERO DI ESSERE CAMPANO DI APPARTENERE A QUESTA MERAVIGLIOSA REGIONE
One of my favorite Caruso records. It displays his wide range of tone color, plus his control of dynamics, from his soft pp to his broad, barreling forte. My Lord, what a voice, what a sound, what a technique:) --
Interpretazione perfetta,daltronde non poteva essere diversamente,perchè a musica classica napoletana ottimo interprete sempre napoletano!....Grandissimo Caruso!
The Italians are the best artists. I hope an Italian American will become President so that our nation will be an oasis for the arts. I pray that an Italian will be the next Pope.
@anatolepushkin FALSE. Alfredo Krauss, Monserrat Caballet, Plácido Domingo, Josef Carrera, etc are not from Italy. They are SPANISH. ¿an italian president like berlusconnii???? no thanks!!!
I just got the book "1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die". This is the very first song listed (because the book is in chronological order, starting in 1916). This is a great song, and is indeed available on iTunes. The book lists the writers of the song as: Giovanni Capurro and Eduardo di Capua. The Producer is Uncredited, and the Label is Victor Talking Machine. Album is: N/A.
@webambiente Della musica Napoletana direi ;) e non la denifisco italiana, perchè dietro c'è tutta una storia che è nata solo ed esclusivamente a Napoli e nel Regno di Napoli!!! La musica Italiana non ha niente a che vedere con questi capolavori!!!
This reminds of my childhood on the east side of buffalo ny,watching the expression on my fathers face,while remembered his mother and father. it brings tears to my eyes everytime.
EL MEJOR TENOR QUE HUBO , NO SE DIGA MAS , MI PADRE ES TENOR , SE LO Q DIGO ... AL IGUAL Q MARIO LANZA , SIN EXCLUIR A CARRERAS , LUACIANO , ANDREA BOCCELI . OBVIO ..........
You're right...sorry about the inaccuracy. You posted a beautiful song...maybe one of the top 10 most popular...people everywhere seem to know it and know of Caruso. As kids we used to even do pretend opera singing in front of the girls and this was the song most of us "sang." Fortunately, our parents bought the recording and that settled that.
On a YouTube interview, Franco Corelli says that "O Sole Mio" is the most difficult song he ever sang. The reason was because the song must be sung all the way through with full voice--there's no room for fudging. He says that Neopolitan songs are like that. Well, Caruso needs no introduction and everyone loves him. Students should listen closely as every singer can learn something from this giant's effort.
I believe you're referring to a video called "Mario Del Monaco's last interview" where Del Monaco talks about Neapolitan Songs, including "O Sole Mio" and how it has to be sung at full voice. He does mention Corelli in the video though.
