Today is the 100th anniversary of Enrico Caruso's first recording; a
recording session that made the gramophone. La Scena Musicale marks
this event with the first of a series of articles on the great tenor.

"It was a sunny afternoon 100 years ago, on April 11, 1902, when
Enrico Caruso sauntered into the Grand Hotel in Milan. Two hours and
10 songs later, the Neapolitan tenor walked out with a cheque for 100
£ ($10,000 in today's currency) and the world of music would never be
the same. ..."
The article contains a link to Mike Richter's web page devoted to
Caruso with 4 different versions of "Una furtiva lagrima" for
download.
