Una furtiva lagrima

"Una furtiva lagrima" from Gaetano Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore Sung by Enrico Caruso in 1911 for the Victor Talking Machine Company.

The notable singer, the surprisingly accurate accompaniment raise this above any other recording I could find with an acceptable licence. Other recordings of this from this time period all had severe abuses against Donizetti's intent, ranging from the almost forgiveable substitution of a harp for pizzicato strings, to arco strings and worse. There's still a little noise, but I think I managed to all or almost all of the really distracting clicks and pops. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 13:36, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - the sound clefts and cracks are too disturbing for featured sound. However archive it may be. The previous is much better. --Vejvančický (talk) 22:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - per Vejvančický. I've heard this Caruso recording in much better condition. What has gone wrong here? --Klein zach 04:54, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
