Enrico Caruso Cielo e mar (1910)
Great recordings of 100 years ago 1910 was a great year for Victor, HMV in my opinion; both Caruso and McCormack made several of their all time greatest recordings that year. Since this is the year 2010, I am going to do a little series called Great recordings of 100 years ago, where I try to post recordings that were recorded exactly 100 years ago to the day of my posting them. This is a 14 March 1910 Victor, HMV recording of the Gioconda Act 2 aria Cielo e mar (abridged version), sung by the great Enrico Caruso. 14 March 2010 was only a week ago. Caruso made 3 recordings of this aria: in 1902, 1905, and 1910. This recording (the 1910) has been posted before but only in its remastered form. My post is the original transfer. This shows Caruso s voice in its absolute prime, and he is stunning. Enjoy. br, br,
