In a rather belated Easter-related upload - because it really belongs to Palm Sunday - Enrico Caruso sings 'Les Rameaux,' with orchestra conducted by Gaetano Scognamiglio. The recording was made by Victor in New York on 9 March 1914.

From Wikipedia: Enrico Caruso (25 February 1873 – 2 August 1921) was an Italian operatic tenor. He sang to great acclaim at the major opera houses of Europe and the Americas, appearing in a wide variety of roles (74) from the Italian and French repertoires that ranged from the lyric to the dramatic. One of the first major singing talents to be commercially recorded, Caruso made 247 commercially released recordings from 1902 to 1920, which made him an international popular entertainment star.

I transferred this recording from HMV DB 132. Although it's in reasonably good condition, no record played with steel needles on an acoustic gramophone could have stood up for long in the wake of the power of Caruso's voice, and there is audible distortion towards the end.

One of my favourite Caruso recordings and one of my favourite religious songs. I also love the Norman Allin record you uploaded a long time ago. I can happily listen to both one after the other.
