That tenor video series is still available. It's called BEL CANTO: THE TENORS OF THE 78 ERA. Volume I covers Caruso, Gigli, and Schipa. Volume II covers Tauber, Slezak, and Schmidt. Volume III covers Melchior, Roswaenge, and Bjoerling. Volume IV covers Thill and Kozlovsky.
The Bel Canto Society, which produced the videos, also has a two-tape series called The Great Tenors (Tape I: Caruso, Gigli, Slezak, Tauber, Rosvaenge, Wittrisch, Schmidt, Kiepura, Bjoerling; Tape II: Corelli, Bjoerling, Di Stefano, Bergonzi, Gedda, Bonisolli, Kraus, Luchetti, Vanzo, Wunderlich), and a tape called Ten Tenors (featuring Schipa, McCormack, Piccaver, Gigli, Lauri Volpi, Martini, Tagliavini, Kiepura, Bergonzi, and Corelli).
