Caruso's first recording
Loading...
Uploaded by merrihew on Oct 2, 2007
I recently posted a record from Caruso's first recording session but this is the actual first recording: Studenti Udite from Germania (Franchetti). Recorded for G&T on 4/11/1902. They were obviously feeling their way. Recent research reveals that the Pathe and Zonophones discs and cylinders were recorded later. This is a repressing from the original master issued by HMV in the 1940's.

@Goodi8 Try Expert Pickups, ltd. in the UK. They've been supplying proper stylii for playing the old records for many years. We have seven different sizes, with a few more to come, in time...

Studenti udite! is such a wonderful aria and it is really a destiny that he start his recording career with Franchetti and finish with Rossini!
The last one not even a tenor aria.
Et sepultus est.

Was the original a brown wax Edison concert cylinder? I know around 1898-1903 the concert cylinders were the most popular.

I've read that interesting book sample and now you mentioned here I wonder if you have Cilea's accompanied Adriana Lecouvreur dec 1902. Thanks! May I say what am I mostly intrigue? Is the beautifull picture-book you show in La Donna e Mobile video, I've been thinking about it for same time.

They obviously had not had much experience with proper balancing.

No, this record was pressed from the original flat disc stamper. Caruso made some cylinders for Pathe in 1904.

It was possible to make your own recordings on early cylinder machines so Caruso may have done that but I've never read of any professionally made Caruso recordings before 1902.

That's the story from Gaisberg but more recent research suggests that Gaisberg had nothing to do with these records.
