Caruso's records and recording career have often been subjected to the sort of exaggeration that surrounds so many legends. This newly expanded and revised survey, by one of the world's leading Caruso researchers, presents a more objective picture of Caruso's recording career, and of the records as artifacts. Features include:

  • A detailed chronological discography of all published and unpublished Caruso recordings in cylinder and 78-rpm formats
  • Correct playing speeds for all issues
  • Introductory chapters examining labels, disc markings, recording contracts, piracies, Caruso- related sheet music and ephemera, and much more
  • Newly discovered facts concerning the recording and manufacture of Caruso's earliest records
  • Color illustrations of 32 rare or unusual records
  • Title, partner, and issue-number indexes, keyed to the discography for easy location of any recording

"The definitive source of information on the recordings of Enrico Caruso... highly recommended."

Notes (Spring 2004)

"Caruso Records methodically and in a scholarly manner walks the reader step by step through the tenor's recording career. For the seasoned collector, it will be an indispensable research tool and a map to further discovery... by far the most comprehensive work to date."
