Prima Voce - Caruso
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Sounding across the years, through the haze of primitive (though remarkably vivid) recordings, the voice of Enrico Caruso is still a miracle. The sense of style, the feeling of effortless control and power held in reserve, and, most of all, the uncanny expressiveness that comes through in Caruso's combination of phrasing, accent, and intensity: it all compels the greatest admiration. Nimbus helpfully specifies the provenance of the takes collected on this disc. They span a period of 17 years, from several matrices recorded early in 1904--two years after Caruso had made his first recordings for The Grammophone Company--to a 1920 Victor recording of "Rachel, quand du Seigneur" from Halévy's La Juive, one of the tenor's signature pieces. Caruso died at the age of 48, when a lot of today's tenors are just reaching their peak. But as these selections show, he was a seasoned artist from the time he was 28. No wonder the world fell at his feet. --Ted Libbey

window into the past.......2006-03-24
What a great recording! Basically, a digital version of recordings made on the first analog recording technology. The beauty of Caruso's singing, his anachronistic melodramatic style and the bumps and scratchings of the orgininal recording blend together for a total effect that is quite persuasive and effective. Love it.
timeless beauty.......2004-11-24
When one hears the richness of Caruso's voice, and the depth of the emotion he expresses, it's hard to fathom that some of these recordings date back 100 years. The tracks are in chronological order, from February 1904 to September 1920.
The first three selections from 1904 are exquisite, and have only a solo piano accompaniment. The "Una Furtiva Lagrima" (track # 3) has a grace and luminosity that is breathtaking.
There are many arias that have remarkable aspects to them, like "Magiche note" from Goldmark's "La Regina di Saba", where he does a series of pianissimos, and of course, his most famous role was as Canio, in Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci", and this CD has both "Vesti la giubba" from 1907, and "No ! Pagliacco non son" from 1910. The latter is phenomenal, and has a deep, dark quality, sounding more like a baritone than a tenor.
There are some rarely heard pieces here, like the Goldmark aria, and "Deserto in terra solo" from Donizetti's "Don Sebastiano", and only occasionally heard is the beautiful "Rachel, quand du Seigneur" from Halevy's "La Juive", and no one can equal Caruso's interpretation of it.
What stands out most about his singing aside from the glorious sound is his phrasing, which is dramatic as well as supremely musical...one of the many reasons the name Caruso has become synonymous with "Italian operatic tenor".
The booklet insert has liner notes on Caruso's career, and a brief synopses for each aria.
The sound considering the age is a marvel, re-mastered from 78 RPM recordings, and states "A breakthrough in archive sound reproduction, Nimbus Natural Ambisonic Transfer technology preserves the immediacy and fidelity of the original performance". Thank goodness Caruso's emergence as a singer and the gramophone came into existence at the same time, so that recordings like this can still be heard.
Total playing time is 74'58.
A Very Good Place to Start with Caruso's Art.......2004-04-03
The best transfer of Caruso I can lay my hand on so far. There is no surface noise and the beauty of his voice is not at all compromised, it sounds as though it is recorded in the 50s !
Caruso eclipses the great tenors of all other ages with ease. However be reminded that to some audience, his singing is dated at least so in term of taste. Others may wish to add more songs or arias to show the best of his voice etc.
The fact is, this CD runs 69.31 minutes which is more than sufficicinet to give the audience a good profile of the greatest voice of the century.
There is No Better..........2003-10-05
Caruso has no better in the male sphere of singing in terms of his range and the beauty of his voice. This recording verifies the case completely. He truly puts the so called 3 tenors of 2000 immediately into the background of mediocrity.
My feeling with regard to Caruso is that he sang songs that he really didn't always convince me about. When you hear this CD, which I must say buy, buy, buy, you will understand. It is possible to float the most beautiful male vox over nonchalance; it certainly is done quite regularly. I think if Caruso had created his own songs on a regular basis, I would be even more convinced of him being the greatest male singer of all time. There is no better...
Matthew Hahn...
Best singer to date; period !.......2001-02-28
Thank you Nimbus Records for getting this CD out. I have owned this CD since 1998 and have listened to it numerous times.
Enrico Caruso is one of my most favorite singers. Truly, after listening to Caruso sing you will agree that his talent was just enormous. In number after number the VOICE will engulf you, and move you to new heights. Listen to track thirteen, "Ah! Fuyez Douce Image". You will not find a better rendition ANYWHERE.
If you like classical singing and if you wish to hear a true great ply his art, this CD is for you. Five stars do not do justice.

Ruffo- The Voice of the Lion!.......2001-09-15
This CD is an excellent introduction to the voice of one of the greatest singers ever to grace the operatic stage. The transfers are excellent, and I can guarantee that you won't have a `drop out' of the voice here, as happens on some `live' recordings, many of which seem to be done by people holding the microphone under their coats. The sound is what one can expect from the beginning of the century, as far as the accompaniments go. (Yes, they do sound weak and muffled.) The voice is crystal clear, however, and shows why many people think of Ruffo's voice as the greatest baritone of all time.
I personally cannot speak for the era before recording, but any accounts we have of any singers on records shows Ruffo to be unique. Was it the largest baritone voice? I don't know; one critic claims Domenico Viglione Borghese had a larger voice. I have heard a few of Borghese's recordings, and the man had an awesome voice. He also sang in an exciting fashion, with emotion and conviction. However, judging from the recordings, Ruffo had a richer voice, and an almost relaxed mode of singing, which is almost paradoxical when one thinks about it. (Listen to his little song from Verdi's Falstaff.) His Credo from Verdi's Otello, old as it is, reaches out and grabs the listener by the throat. (This is not one of those old recording where you'll barely be able to hear the singer. Ruffo's voice dominates the environment here, and I'm talking about your listening environment. Only Sherrill Milnes, among modern singers, comes at all close to Ruffo's savagery here, and even with a full orchestra backing him, there isn't half the presence. And Milnes had one of the most awesome voices I've ever heard.) That's followed by the Dream, which is a masterpiece of insinuating, serpentine evil, as Iago pours his poison drop by drop into Otello's ear. What follows? The justly celebrated vengeance duet with Enrico Caruso. What power! And what sheer insane anger! Among modern recordings there are only two I've heard which come close: Del Monaco with Leonard Warren (This is from one of the Metropolitan Opera's premiums.) and Jon Vickers with Tito Gobbi from the classic Serafin conducted recording, with Leonie Rysanek as Desdemona.
In Tremin Glinsani from Nabucco, Ruffo takes two parts; Zaccaria, the priest, and Nabucco himself. If anyone out there has heard anyone else come close to Ruffo's singing of Nabucco's aside here, let me know. I've heard Capuccili, Gobbi, and Juan Pons. What about Scarpia's aria from Tosca? The police chief's carnality and evil are on display here, with stunning power.
All'erta Marinar from Meyerbeer's L'Africaine is a showpiece for Ruffo's voice. The full range is on display here, from his rather weak lower voice, to a ringing sustained high A natural that has to be heard to be believed. This aria, in Ruffo's hands, can leave your ears ringing. And it all sounds so easy! The older Ruffo voice is displayed on the only electrical recording available on this CD; Enzo Grimaldo, with the great Beniamino Gigli. This is my favorite version of this duet, even though Ruffo's voice does sound a little worn by the years. Barnaba is an evil man, and one can feel the evil oozing out, as if under pressure. For those who like La Gioconda, there are also Ruffo's O Monumento and Pescator, which are sung in his prime. The richness of tone and variety of color on display here have never ceased to astound me.
Ruffo was not just a loud singer. He had many moments when he sang in half voice, which was very light and tenorish. I would not care to listen to him if he was only a bellower, believe me. Don't expect to be lulled to sleep here however; this man is not Perry Como. Expect to be astounded and moved. For further listening, get the CD's on which Ruffo sings Rigoletto, with Galvany and Pareto, and Ambroise Thomas' Hamlet. Even though the accompaniments sound rather primitive, given the limitations of the horn they had to sing and play into back then, the voices are clear and very exciting. For similar voices? Gino Bechi comes close, in terms of style, and the man is an exciting performer. Mattia Battistini had a similar type of voice (glorious top, small lower notes) and a snarling delivery. If you like Ruffo, and don't know about these two, give them a try. In more recent times, we have the beautiful and awe inspiring voice of Sherrill Milnes. This man sounds a little like Ruffo, with Leonard Warren mixed in. Try his Rigoletto, Iago, and Figaro from Rossini's Barber of Seville for a great deal of gorgeous singing.
Back to Ruffo; if you like his work in opera, try him out in the popular songs of his day. Maria Mari should be heard by anyone interested in the genre.

Customer Reviews:
Another success of Nimbus records.......2000-08-11
Thirty years of rich and varied repertoire in the Covent Garden since 1910 until 1940 is something too easy to say but too difficult to record. Some of the greatests voices of the century like Richard Tauber, Beniamino Gigli, Nellie Melba, John McCormack or Kirsten Flagstad are present in this splendid recording of its operistic experiences in the Royal Opera House. This is a "must have" to anyone interested in the live recordings of Chaliapine, Turner or Tibbet, Supervia or Caruso, Melchior or Gadski. Pay attention, specially, to the track nine. The "Ora e per sempre" from Otello is being performed by one of the gigantic but bad known tenors of the century: Renato Zanelli.
