It's so nice that he doesn't try to go up t the end with the soprano, like most tenors do today;very sensitive.Melba's voice doesn't record as well as his, though she must have been fabulous live. Everything is kind of understated and intimate. These guys knew Puccini, so it must be terribly authentic...just thinking it was lovely.

@LordMgls Thank you so much. This is really the art of singing after all the horrible interpretations (pavarotti and others) we have heard of this so lyric duet

Monumental duet!! I love this duet and Caruso's interpretation. *****
Do you know the story of the sausage?

Yes, I know the sausage story :-)
Melba had always considered Caruso rather coarse (uneducated and lacking proper manners) and I'm sure the sausage incident just added additional weight to that opinion ...

@tomfroekjaer he seems like a wonderful person to me from what all i've read.

@seektheforce: from what I have read, Caruso was a very humble person. Always willing to help people in need and never forgetting roots - his own poor youth in Napoli.
