Enrico Caruso, the most admired Italian operatic tenor of the early 20th century and one of the first musicians to document his voice on recordings. His voice was sensuous, lyrical, and vigorous in dramatic outbursts and became progressively darker in timbre in later years.

Through his recordings, Caruso fundamentally changed the cultural landscape of the early twentieth century. He appeared in early films and was featured in countless newspapers and magazines, becoming one of the first international celebrities in the modern sense.

Caruso was the first recording star in history, who sold more than a million records with his 1902 recording of 'Vesti le gubba' from 'Pagliacci' (Clowns) by 'Leoncavallo'. His voice had a combination of the full baritone-like character with the smooth and brilliant tenor qualities.

That was the voice of the great star. And this one did not exist only in the heavens, it existed for the whole world, through the medium of the gramophone record. The famous question is often asked, did Caruso make the gramophone or did the gramophone make Caruso? The answer is yes and yes again.
