Turiddu's aria "O Lola, lovely as the bright blooms of spring" from Pietro Mascagni's opera "Cavalleria rusticana."
Recorded in 1905.
More info on Caruso: http://www.enricocaruso.dk
There are several other versions of this with Caruso on YouTube, notably one from 1903 with subtitles posted by balletamie ( http://youtube.com/user/balletamie ): http://youtube.com/watch?v=hd9XJEdii5E
A good short introduction to the opera can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalleria_Rusticana

Has any other tenor sung this with such a rare combination of sweetness, sensuality, concentrated power, brilliant technique, and artistic phrasing as Caruso? Even Bjorling, even Gigli? I doubt it.

@meltzerboy Martinelli's Lola is good.

The most amazing part to me is that there are recordings that are over 100 years old. Go humanity!

Dear Tom.
I'm having a 'Caruso' day, thanks to you, Sir. For my money, this is the definitive recording of this very difficult aria. And, it was done early on, when he was still having a little trouble with 'La donna'. Interesting!

@goodboybuddy1 Hi James, I also have a Caruso day today :-)
This aria is indeed very difficult, but he pulls it off beautifully.
... Today I received a personal message from a youtube user who has uploaded some of her own 78 Caruso recordings - absolutely worth listening to: youtube etc slash user/thegirlofmusic1
Great that people all over the world "rediscover" Caruso.
Cheers, Tom
