    NI 7927/8 NI 7927/8 Regiment of Sambre et Meuse should have been delayed until two months after the war had ended I do not know, but there is no gainsaying thepanache with which he trumpets forth his tribute to those intrepid military men. A comparison of these later recordings of Caruso’s with those made back in 1902 and 1903 PALESTRINA makes it evident how his voice had darkened and grown more massive over the years. The M I S S A O S A C R U M C O N V I V I U M advances in the recording process naturally emphasise this change, but in any case such was Caruso’s technical mastery that even when his voice was at its heaviest it never became unwieldy. His very last stage appearance was in a role which had been a favourite from his earliest days, Nemorino in L’elisir d’amore, which calls for great vocal dexterity; and anyone who doubts Caruso’s ability to sing rapidcoloratura in his latter days should listen to the cadenza at the end of his recording ofMia Piccirella from the operaSalvator Rosa, made in September 1919. I would like to end these reflections, though, with a glance at one more track from the current selection. This is the duet entitledCrucifix, written by the eminent French baritone Jean-Baptiste Faure, in which Caruso is partnered by Marcel Journet, one of the most celebrated basses of the day. Journet’s is the first voice that we hear, and very fine it is too; but when Caruso enters the sound is one of incomparable beauty, rich and majestic but astonishingly gentle too.
