Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
This disc is the result of a remarkable experiment in digital prestidigitation. Shellac recordings, made by the first recording superstar, tenor Enrico Caruso, were scanned into a computer and reworked until the voice was separated from the orchestral accompaniment. The surface crackles and hiss were then also removed, so that what was left was "pure" Caruso. The conductor Gottfried Rabi and the Vienna RSO then had the difficult task of providing a modern orchestral accompaniment for Caruso's idiosyncratic and rhythmically very free performances (and not even at modern concert pitch.) The result is an intriguing curiosity, and not dissimilar to those films and adverts where people remain in black and white though their settings are in colour. The wondrous thing is that Caruso's voice still radiates its extraordinary power, even after all the computer jiggery-pokery, and is as compelling now as it was nearly 100 years ago. --Warwick Thompson
