Enrico Caruso: Best Recordings
Beautiful voice. Soft interpretation, full with sentiment. The sound is quite punished, esp. regarding the orchestral instrumentation. Lacking power, as compared to Pavarotti, he more than compensates with his intention. It is almost as if he himself were surprised with his facility to do as he pleases with his voice. With such fluid transitions, it is a shame the recordings sound so bad, but most are near or more than a century old.
