5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Introduction To The World's Greatest Tenor, May 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Great Caruso (Original Mono Recordings from 1904 - 1919) (Audio CD)

The transfers of the original accoutic 78's are very good and the selection gives you a great slice of the arias and songs that made him the benchmark for all tenors that have followed. This is a great introduction to his art and will make you want to get one of the complete sets.

I understand these are original mono recordings, but the audio quality was very poor. The static so loud that it significanly took away from the enjoyment of listening to Great Caruso.
