Enrico Caruso discography

Last updated

The following discography is a work in progress. Currently it contains all known published recordings by Enrico Caruso. The recordings are listed chronologically by recording date, title, composer and matrix number. When more than one "take" was recorded for a selection, only the published take number appears after the matrix number; occasionally, multiple takes of the same selection have been issued. If only one take was recorded, no take number is listed after the matrix number. Matrix numbers should not be confused with catalog numbers.

A tenor is a type of classical male singing voice whose vocal range lies between the countertenor and baritone voice types. It is the highest male chest voice type. Composers typically write music for this voice in the range from the second B below middle C to the G above middle C (i.e. B2 to G4) in choral music, and from the second B flat below middle C to the C above middle C (B♭2 to C5) in operatic music, but the range can extend at either end. Subtypes of tenor include the leggero tenor, lyric tenor, spinto tenor, dramatic tenor, heldentenor, and tenor buffo or spieltenor.
