His First Recordings

Recorded between 1900 and 1902, presented here are the historic first recordings of the legendary Italian tenor and key pioneer in the field of recorded music, Enrico Caruso. Caruso set a standard with his singular singing style, and influenced almost all subsequent tenors in the Italian and French operatic repertoires. Caruso made more than 260 existing recordings over a 16 year span, and made a record 863 appearances at the New York Metropolitan Opera. 30 tracks, all selections newly re-mastered.
