Caruso: His Songs

A symbol of Italianism and bel canto singing, Enrico Caruso moved from provincial Neapolitan stages to the world’s most prestigious opera houses, and as naturally as the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto, he could return to being the scugnizzo or street urchin of popular songs. A little-known repertoire that deserves today, 150 years after Caruso’s birth, to be rediscovered by a new audience. (Urania)
