Enrico Caruso & Titta Ruffo - Si Pel Ciel BEST VERSION (In Correct Speed and Pitch)

This is the greatest record of singing that has ever been recorded. Enjoy!
From Verdi's Otello. End of Act II, the oath duet. Oh! Mostruosa Colpa ... Si Pel Ciel

Caruso would've been the greatest Otello (and Calaf) in recorded history, if he had lived to sing the role.

I Bought and sold a copy of this 78rpm Record back in 1971: 50 years after Caruso's Death and I found out years later that the Recording was made 8 Months before World War One Broke out and I've now got a copy of the Recording Reissued under licence by His Master's Voice in the Golden Treasury of Immortal Performances on a LP Called the Art of Caruso Volume one Record Number CSLP-510 Reissued in 1956 the year I was Born and there only 18 LP Records issued in the Serious Mainly Vocal but there are a few intrimental and I found out years later that the Recording was made Eight Months before World War One Broke out

This is incredible, but Caruso said his greatest recorded duet was Solenne in quest'ora, and there is a broadcast on youtube with Frances Robinson of the Metropoltan Opera with Bruno Zirato, who was Caruso's secretary. in which he states that Caruso said his greatest record was his recording of Quando nascesti tu

Más allá de lo espectacular del duetto de dos gigantes. Personalmente aprecio algunos problemas de emisión en el registro agudo como que hay cierta tendencia a "empujar la voz" con algo de "golpe de glotis", de qué año es la grabación? Queda la duda, en mi opinión, dado el notorio deterioro de la voz (tal vez producto de algún resfrío mal curado), habría sido un buen Otello verdiano? Dejo abierta la consulta para los más entendidos.
