Did Caruso really sound like this? (Donna non vidi mai)

Apparently this a recording from 1909 (didn’t know it existed - or is it the 1913 version?). Caruso’s voice sounds more powerful and intense than in other restored versions I’ve heard. E.g. Possibly closer to how he sounded live than the others? BTW, I’ve extracted it from with the title MANON LESCAUT - FRANCO CORELLI & ENRICO CARUSO in “ DONNA NON VIDI MAI “ PUCCINI.
