5.0 out of 5 stars The Primacy of Caruso's Voice Recovered from Ancient Recordings
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2010
Many writers describe Enrico Caruso as the greatest operatic tenor in history. In the early 1900s, rustic recorders captured Caruso's voice for posterity. Compared with modern recording equipment, the pioneering machines of Caruso's time blended high distortion and scratchiness with low frequency response.

Today, acoustics experts use noise cancellation and other techniques to convert seemingly hopeless old recordings into surprisingly listenable CD tracks. The tracks on this CD include twenty three passages from some of the world's greatest operas, all sung by Caruso from 1902 to 1914.

Opera lovers will find these Caruso recordings remarkable for at least three reasons. First, they capture Caruso's voice so well, listeners will forget that the restored recordings are technically inferior to modern ones. Second, opera lovers will find it difficult to improve on the selection of passages used. Third, these recordings are good enough in quality to allow discriminating listeners to estimate differences in talent between Caruso and modern operatic tenors.

Listeners can begin estimating by listening to a favorite passage on this Caruso CD. Then listen to the same passage again, but pay close attention to the extent to which the quality of Caruso's background music is below modern standards. Now listen to the same passage sung by modern tenor A and take special note of the exceptionally high quality of A's background music.

Finally, provide an imaginary boost to Caruso's background music to make it equal to A's background and apply the same boost to Caruso's singing. The result is, if Caruso's singing is anywhere near as good as A's without a boost in quality, it would be much better with a quality equalizing boost.

Diese CD ist nicht zu empfehlen. Ab der Mitte der CD stoppt sie und springt.
Wird entsorgt, für den Preis lohnt sich alles andere nicht.
