This is real perfection! I can't find words to express what I feel after hearing this wonderful voice! I just say that I feel closer to heaven!

By understanding what is going on in the opera, his marvelous way of singinging will make more and more sense. How beautiful this blessed voice was! What an artist!
I can´t imagine how marvelous would this great artist sound in modern technology recording...
Anyway, blessed are we for being able to hear it so many years after his death.
May God give him a high place among the angels in the Heavenly Choir.

Very different both great, one a spinto and Jussi a lyric spinto with a more lyric voice. Caruso later sang more verismo roles than JB and had a darker voice but both great artists. Bjorling early in Sweden sang 53 roles by the time he was 27 but then later sang only about 10 roles regularly since he went more with concerts, as he said they paid better. The voices where not much alike and Caruso ended like Tucker with Juive a big heavy role. they both died before age 50

I don't quite understand my good friend german opera singer in one comment---- Caruso like Tucker did not mess with singing piano much when older especially but he had dynamics in the color of his voice all the way from bottom up and could sing with great refined beauty, look past the old sound. Gloria Caruso did give his clown coat from pag. to Tucker who was a great american spinto and mrs Caruso was a huge fan of Bjorling a very different type of tenor voice of course.

Some good comments some not-- never compare a Spinto with a lyric or lyric spinto except for tech. Gigli was more lyric and did some spinto roles with great beauty but Caruso was a great artist and never was really hammy nor did he mess around with tempos much. I think he had dynamics especially from [piano to forte and this when he was young was a good role for him. My grandfather born 1880-1980 died at 100 and alert heard him 3 times live he said his sound was way better then on old records

I also what you have with this new digital formats is also crap, it is not really a human you hear in the recording. Singing is a analog process and nothing else and to be truly enjoyed with its full intention and sublime ideas it has to be analog and tuned at C 256. Also to note Bel Canto is the only true form of singing modern singing to be real is just childish screams i would put Björling in the same specie of tenor as Caruso.

increible que un ser humano pueda tener semejante don en las cuerdas vocales.maravilloso.

that's true, but it really doesn't apply to Caruso. Tomfroekjaer (Youtube's user) may explain you that, and maybe you'll understand that even living, he was allways an important tenor.
