EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the legendary Italian tenor, Enrico Caruso, in an intimate moment with his cherished HMV 78 rpm record of "Testa Adorata" from Giacomo Puccini's beloved opera, "La Boheme," by Ruggero Leoncavallo. The monochrome image, taken in the early 20th century, captures Caruso's intense focus and deep concentration as he holds the fragile shellac disc close to his chest. The record, bearing the distinguished HMV label, was a testament to the singer's mastery of the art form and the technological marvel of its time. The iconic pink label, with its dog logo and "His Master's Voice" inscription, symbolized the pinnacle of recording excellence and authenticity. The single-sided 78 rpm record, a precursor to the modern long-playing record, was a significant innovation in the history of recorded music. Caruso's voice, immortalized on this early recording, continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, a testament to his enduring legacy as one of the greatest opera singers in history.
