Rigoletto - Bella figlia dell'amore

1851 – Rigoletto: "Bella figlia dell'amore"

From Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto. This 1907 Victor Records recording starred Enrico Caruso, Bessie Abott, Louise Homer and Antonio Scotti.

A quartet where every one of the performers is a star in their own right. While it has the flaws typical of early recordings, I nonetheless think this is an excellent version of the piece, exciting and fun.

Support. Surprisingly clean recording with only few clicks in the first half. Here is a link for comparison. --Vejvančický (talk) 09:09, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I was able to clea most of the clicks, but there was a couple in the first half where if I removed them, the slight skip made it sound like Caruso had an unpleasant vibrato. Caruso does NOT have an unpleasant vibrato: The clicks stay. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 15:08, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
