In his early years the legendary Italian tenor Enrico Caruso had difficulties with voice control due, in part, to inconsistent training. However, Caruso eventually mastered his technique, coloring his smooth tenor with the smoldering timbre of a baritone. The most enduring quality of his voice was his ability to produce broad phrasing and vigorous dramatic outbursts. Although he died in 1921, Caruso is still considered by many the greatest tenor of the century. This 1910 recording of Ruggero Leoncavallo’s “No! Pagliaccio non son” from the opera Pagliacci shows Caruso’s ability to use a wide range of vocal effects.
