Ingemisco (Verdi) : Caruso, Bjorling, Corelli, Pavarotti (with on screen translations to English)

Ingemisco is from the Requiem Mass composed by Giuseppe Verdi (1813 to 1901). 0:00 Enrico Caruso 7th Jan 1915 4:21 Jussi Bjorling 12th Oct 1938 8:29 Franco Corelli 1963 12:50 Luciano Pavarotti 1980? I uploaded separately another nice recording of this piece by Beniamino Gigli and if you wanted to watch that video the link to it is If you are comparing the recordings please remember that Caruso’s was made by purely mechanical means,10 years years before the use of microphones or electrical equipment of any sort. The accompaniment was by a small group of studio musicians rather than a large orchestra I have tried to get the best possible audio quality from the Caruso and Bjorling recordings but the Corelli and Pavarotti are, of course relatively modern stereo recordings. Just to give a “live“ effect and a smooth transition between tracks, I have added applause.
