This is the final Prima Voce volume of all Caruso’s published operatic recordings – the selection being driven by what was outstanding which itself was the result of what had proven most elusive. The recordings span virtually Caruso’s entire recording career from 1902 to 1918 through which we hear encapsulated the development of his art and voice production and also the technical capabilities of the gramophone.
