Belcanto - The Tenors of the 78 Era -- Episode 1 Caruso

[seektheforce]

What is the name of the song that starts at 4:20?

Beautiful - thank you so much for making this available.

Anyone that does not realize how incredibly valuable these films are must be nuts. Is the guy that Caruso kissed still living? Thanks!

[hiyadroogs]

madison, it would be very unlikely. The film of Caruso kissing the boy was from 1913. That's 96 years ago before even taking into account the boys age. He looks about 10 in the film. Even this documentary was 83 years after the event, so the gentleman would be over 90 here!

Thank you very much for posting this - and for the subtitles!

Caruso will always remain a legend and one of the greatest - if not the greatest - tenors ever.

Ja, ja Caruso singin in front of a microphone.

It would be great if they did exist then.

He had to record his arias in front of a simple cone.

And how it sounds!

Bendito Caruso. The best ever.

[nailju28]

Ja, ja. Ojalá Caruso hubiera tenido la oportunidad de grabar frente a un micro tan moderno como ese.

El hombre hubo de conformarse con grabar frente a un miserable cono.

¡¡¡Y cómo suena!!!

Bendito entre los benditos del canto

[paulostroff99]

Incredible!

[lukehusky]

Beautiful!! The begining is a real tear jerker.

[Isidore98]

If one has to have a fake Caruso why is the actor singing in front of microphone (Caruso died in 1921 - no microphones then!)

[Dagarvs]

incredible!
