Enrico Caruso
Enrico Caruso was born into a poor family in Naples on 25 February 1873 and died there on 2 August 1921, aged forty-eight. Arguably the greatest operatic tenor of all time, he created tenor roles in several operas which he sang innumerable times in the greatest opera houses of the world. Caruso was one of the first major singers to be commercially recorded. During the period 1902-1920 he made nearly 250 commercial recordings.
