He was the Greatest Tenor in History by a Universe, that is the Opinions of the Critics Audience Composers and people who heard what was before him and by what followed him he still has an enormous Following since his Death in 1921 at the of 48 in an operation for Pleurisy.
His funeral in Naples was followed by over a Million people and the Doors of the Cathedral were opened by the King Of Italy. His Home was in New York, the last recording the 1907 Recording sold more than a Million Copies and he is regarded as the Man who through his talent and beauty of Voice brought about the Success of Voices being recorded mainly at that time Opera, but he was alsoa singer of the Popular songs of that time and a great singer of them also, I would Like to say that my Grandfather first heard him whilst training in Italy to be a Opera Singer in 1897 and heard him many times again later, because my Grandad became a Leading tenor in the Chorus at Covent Garden from 1909 till 1940 . He met him and said he was a Wonderfully kind man, but the Voice on the stage and there were no Microphones then, could be Heard hitting the back of the Large Opera House and returning to the stage it was that powerful and the quality was his Ringing top notes that were so pure. he last sang in London in 1914 he was to hve returned in 1922 for performances, but of course died in 1921.

I would like you to hear one of his Final Recordings he made in 1920 whilst he was suffering from the Pneumonia that was to kill him, he is virtually singing on one lung, it is from Halevy's Opera La Juive, Rachel quand de Seigneur in French, this would show his voice more directly and the pathos of the aria of the Old Jew Eleazar in the thought of his daughter being executed is one of the most poignant recordings in Operatic History.

I take your point I am also an old man of 87, when I was in my Twenties, I loved Jazz and Ella Fitzgerald and I still do, but Opera is in my Families blood so that is my forte. But your opinions are really good because you DID listen, I do recommend the later Recording from 1920 there are many that regard that as the greatest of all operatic recordings. From a man who was already near death.

Caruso was probably the greates tenor of all times.

[juanprc]

The greatest tenor in recorded history, alongside Gigli.

[alexjany]

First song to sell 1 million copies!! What’s treat to see you guys react to this.

[karolyn]

Thanks so much. I requested this so you could hear the quality of these old wax recordings from more than 100 years ago. It's amazing that they have survived. And oh, what a voice! My favorite opera singer, Mario Lanza, starred in movies rather than on the stage. One of his best was "The Great Caruso" based on the life of this great singer. He did a very good job of it.
I respect your opinion. Opera is definitely an acquired taste, not everyone's cup of tea. I'm pleased, but not surprised, that you recognized the fantastic beauty of Caruso's voice.

He's the Greatest Stinger of All Times!!!

[stevecasucci]

Caruso was the First Blockbuster! He made the recording industry explode! Elvis Presley was the Second. He made Rock & Roll explode & The Beatles was the third block buster that launched the British invasion. However, No human can match the power & soul of Enrico Caruso!!! The Microphone wasn't invented yet.

Enrico Caruso's version of Vesti La Giubba was the first record to sell over a million copies. He is singing 'On with the Motley' from the opera Pagliacci. He is singing that he laughs though his heart is breaking. The first version you played was recorded in a hotel room in Milan rather than a 'recording studio' by the Typewriter and Gramophone Recording Company before he signed to Victor records. They were recorded at different speeds. Caruso is the highest paid singer of all time in comparative terms and is regarded as the greatest tenor in history.

Pagliacci means "clown" in Italian. It's the story of a man who, with is wife, is in a travelling clown show. Dressed as clowns, they play the parts of a man who's wife is cheating on him. In real life, just before a show, he discovers that his wife IS cheating on him. As he's putting on his clown costume, he sings this song, crying 'laugh clown laugh'

I want to thank you both for reacting to the recordings of Enrico Caruso, who was the preeminent opera singer of the late-19th and early-20th Centuries.  If you get the chance to do so, I would like for you to react to a song recorded in 1891, by George W. Johnson, who was the very first African-American recording artist, who recorded during the Ragtime Era, from the 1890s to the mid-1900s.  I want to see the both of you react to his recording of the song, "The Whistling Coon".  Note:  30 percent of wax cylinder recordings at that time were "coon" songs.  I have read the lyrics for this song, and I believe that Mr. Johnson chose this song, because the lyrics reflected a hidden inner strength.  In spite of all the bad things that happen to him in the song, he still has the strength and courage to "whistle a tune" to ease his worried mind.  Johnson was also a great whistler, as you will hear on the recording.  The 1891 recording of "The Whistling Coon", by George W. Johnson, is available to hear on YouTube.  When you scroll down the "Comments" section for the song, some viewers posted the lyrics for the song, so you can read them either before or after you react to the song.

The photos show some of his costumes in various operas (ie plays, mostly tragedies and commonly sung in Italian. ). Fantastic considering only mono recordings could be done. A few decades before stereo was invented and no opera had been recorded on film then.

[corawheeler]

Notice how 'tinny' the piano sounds? Caruso was singing into a cone shaped primitive recording device. Also, these were 78rpm, recorded on only one side. They were played on Victrola record players that were non-electric ... you had to wind them up.

[spursbasketball]

Caruso is Amazing, however, Pavarotti’s version it’s just amazing. Obviously we are talking that there’s a difference in years, technology, technic etc, but in my humble opinion, Luciano has a better voice, interpretation, and acting skills. Caruso is the blueprint but Pavarotti is the goal ❤

[terrymac]

You guys should react to mario del monaco singing this as well he's amazing

[SimonTBam]

Not only could he sustain those notes he could do so on a 60 a day smoking habit.... mega strong Egyptian Pretty cigarettes. Which would be illegal in the UK now due to their tar and nicotine content.

[cheryljohnson]

Beautiful Vesti La Giubba means on with the show. The story is the clown's wife is having an affair and he must dress up like a clown and pretend to be happy even though his heart is breaking. Of course, it's opera so it all ends badly. Ridi pagliacci means ridicule or laugh at me- Pagliacci_ because I am a clown.

[killakode]

Check out Mario Lanza. He was the total package; He had a voice of a god, handsome, and was a great actor. The Holy Trifecta.

[MyHeroAcademiafan]

Listen to Pavarotti version of the song

[TheLordHighXcutioner]

React to the Last Castrato Alessandro Moreschi, freaky stuff.
