EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary Italian tenor, Enrico Caruso, in the midst of his groundbreaking recording session for the HMV (His Master's Voice) label. The image, taken in the early 20th century, showcases Caruso's intense focus and passion as he sings the poignant ballad "Addio" by Tosti. The 78 rpm record, a testament to the technological marvel of the time, sits prominently on the table, surrounded by the recording equipment and an attentive orchestra. Caruso, with his distinctive red fez and formal attire, exudes an aura of sophistication and mastery. His expressive face and gesturing hands convey the depth of emotion in the Italian lyrics, which translate to "Farewell." The faithful canine companion at Caruso's side adds a touch of warmth and humanity to the scene, emphasizing the connection between the artist and his music. The HMV label, a symbol of quality and innovation in the world of recorded sound, is proudly displayed on the record. Caruso's collaboration with HMV marked a pivotal moment in the history of recorded music, as his voice reached an unprecedented audience and inspired a new generation of opera singers and music lovers. This photograph stands as a testament to the power of Caruso's voice and the enduring allure of the gramophone era.
