  • Oh, that makes perfect sense. Caruso had an remarkably natural and easy production. Not only that, but the passion in the voice is heartbreaking and thrilling.

  • Modern tenors tend to sing quite a bit further "back," less supported, and don't know how to sing pure vowels. The production, as a result, is thick, muddled, and lacks brilliance. I think quite a few people mistake this modern "dark" and muddy sound as being chesty or heavy...to me it's just bad technique. MrCafiero is correct about Caruso's voice as being dark and heavy, but it is supported and forward, with bite and brilliance (squillo). No modern tenor comes close to this sound.

  • I came here for the voice in this song not for the old guy with all respect,but really...

  • yeeeeeees great actor too

  • I agree GermanOperaSinger, Lanza was magnificent! Compared to Mario, Pav's voice was reed thin. Mario had the best top to his voice of any tenor ever. Jealousy prevailed in his time because only one of his genius could have catapulted himself to such worldwide fame so quickly. His looks and quintessential voice have remained unmatched.

  • @TheHaches claro que apesar de los inconvenientes es maravilloso escuchar ah caruso .otro como el pues de onde...

  • @Pertile23 While he is not "modern", Jussi Bjorling blows this newbie out of the water with all due respect : )

  • Why was someone else talking during the recording? No one would want Caruso's voice ito be interrupted.

  • Hi Onegin65, would you mind telling me where this video comes from? I'd like to find out who the guy is who is talking.. He says something really interesting about what a great performer can do when performing, and I'd like to quote it if possible. Thanks..

  • "The only way I can describe it, is this way: When you were in the audience, you became part of Caruso. You felt he was inside of your body."

    ... He filled the whole opera house with his presence....
