152 years ago today, February 25, 1873 (January 28, 1873 in the lunar calendar), Italian singer Enrico Caruso was born. Enrico Caruso (1873.2.25-1921) was a world-famous Italian tenor singer. In 1895, he sang "Faust" for the first time in baritone on the stage in his hometown of Naples. In 1898, he began to sing the tenor role as Rolles in the play "Fedura". Later, he traveled to Genoa, St. Petersburg and other places to sing and was very popular. In 1904, he performed at the British Abbey Garden Opera House and became famous. He has worked hard all his life and performed more than 50 operas. In his ten years in New York, he has performed more than 600 times, and can perform more than 500 songs at any time. The most prominent feature of Caruso's singing art lies in his breathing technique. His accompaniment Fucido said in the book "Caruso's Art of Singing" that Caruso applied the joint breathing method of two ribs and one diaphragm. This breathing method is considered by the vocal masters of the Italian Bel Canto School to be the most natural breathing method for people. They believe that to master the breathing techniques of singing well, it is not only about muscle control, but also about combining it with the meaning of the word. Focus on performing muscle control. One of the characteristics of "Bel Canto" is the leggings in singing. Caruso sang the ligature as if every note were connected to the second note so that it seemed to melt together. The ligature he used in the progression of minor intervals was the same as the ligature he used in the major interval, or on the same note, and no flaws were audible. This is the connection he did in the tone. In terms of pronunciation, the connection he mastered between each letter is very wonderful. That is, when each letter changes to the second letter, it goes very round and seems to be seamless. When he starts with the pronunciation, his pronunciation is very soft, but it is very powerful. He never allows the consonant to sharpen and affect the vowel. When Caruso sings, the flesh in all parts of his mouth remains natural and relaxed. Because of this, coupled with his complete breathing techniques, he can use different resonances as much as possible to achieve diverse sounds. Whether in the most simple folk songs or in opera arias, when the music changes, his voice can conform to the overtones of the musical harmony and change extremely carefully. In terms of the range of singing repertoire, many singers are famous in history for their wonderful singing within a limited range or for their success in playing a certain role, but Caruso sings a very wide range of songs, including almost all famous operas in Italy and France. He can sing everything from lyrical to dramatic songs, from the lightest Nemolino to the strongest Othello (only recording of the latter role). He sang the realist operas written by Puccini, Mascani, Leon Cavallo, Giordano and Cirea. He also sang older plays such as "The Prophet","African Woman","Protestants","William Tell","Faust", etc., of course, the most important ones were Verdi's works. Caruso was the first person in the Bel Canto school to rise up and abolish conventions. He refused to give in to traditional singing methods that made lyrics slaves to her, singing about the meaning of the words themselves and expressing their feelings and meanings. He obeys the control of his soul more than the influence of his skill, and his emotions are the only mentor of his singing. The human voice is expressed by the joys, sorrows, sorrows and other colors in the world, which cannot be expressed by the pronunciation of a musical instrument. The sad and moving emotions in the world are Caruso's magic, and his singing penetrates into the hearts of all those lucky enough to hear it. Contemporary tenor king Pavarotti's evaluation of Caruso was quite summary. He said: "Caruso is indeed a role model, and all tenors should learn from him. His voice is unmatched in the world. He has always maintained a clear and mellow tone. Not only that, his extraordinary phrasing and incredible musical passion have given him access to the true meaning of music better than anyone, and no one can compare with him." Caruso died on August 2, 1921 in Sorrento at the age of 48.
