Free Music Review: Without a Doubt the "Greatest of All Time"
Hit: 5 Stars
I am not even done with this CD yet, I'm still listening while I type this. Because of sound quality issues I waited a long, long time to buy a Caruso CD. Only 3/4 through it one can imagine how powerful he must have been. The orchestra sounds as if it is ten city blocks away while Caruso's voice, admittedly in bad sound is vibrant and alive, annihilating the orchestra. Some of these recordings are over 100 YEARS OLD!!?!?! That they can even be compared to modern recordings is a testament to the man's greatness and legend. Others are as good as anyone in any age, simply AMAZING!
The Legendary Enrico Caruso: 21 Favorite Arias Poster
There's a plethora of single-disc Caruso collections, but this one's the preferred choice for opera fans who treasure this golden- voiced epitome of Golden Age singing. It's a Greatest Hits collection to beat all Greatest Hits collections. Selections span Caruso's career, from the lyric effusions of 1906-7 to the darker-voiced later recordings, including one of his last records, the 1920 La Juive aria, "Rachel, quand du Seigneur," which he invests with a heartbreaking poignancy that hasn't been bettered. Caruso shines brightest in the Italian repertory, capturing the pathos of Vesti la Giubba, the insouciance of the Duke's Rigoletto arias, and the hero's dilemma in Celeste Aida, among much else. But everything here is wonderful--great music, great singing. --Dan DavisClassical Music CDs
