FANTASTIC!!! But I feel you can still detect the tenor sound in his
incredible singing. I wonder if he is the best tenor ever. I don't think
any of his colleagues ever had the range or sonorious quality in their voices
as Caruso had. He even has a full and round sound in the old recordings while
other singers seem screechy.
