Modern 78 RPM Tenors

What would modern tenors sound like if they were recorded 100 years ago?

I've done my best to replicate the sound of old recordings by cutting out all frequencies over 2000hz and boosting everything above 500hz combined with heavy compression and mixing in some dust from an old recording of Joseph Schmidt.

Big voices;
1. Giuseppe Giacomini, Esultate from Verdi's Otello.
2. Jonas Kaufmann, Vittoria! from Puccini's Tosca.
3. Franco Bonisolli, La donne a mobile from Verdi's Rigoletto.
4. Franco Tenelli, Niun mi tema from Verdi's Otello.
5. Vladimir Galouzine, Riddle scene from Puccini's Turandot.

Lyric voices;
6. Rockwell Blake, Terra Amica from Rossini's Zelmira (huge high D with coloratura).
7. Giuseppe Sabbatini, Salut demeure from Gonoud's Faust (perfect high C with diminuendo).
8. Gregory Kunde, A te o cara from Bellini's I Puritani (even bigger high D).
9. Franco Bonisolli, Lunge da lei from Verdi's La Traviata.
10. Luciano Pavarotti, Ingemisco from Verdi's Requiem.
