"Amor ti vieta" from Act II of the Italian opera Fedora by Umberto Giordano
Libretto by Arturo Colautti
Fedora has found out that Count Loris killed her fiance and swears to avenge his death. As the first step in her plan to capture Loris, she goes to Paris and attempts to get him to fall in love with her.
Later, they are at a party at Fedora's house and he tells her that he truly loves her.
Amor ti vieta di non amar...
La man tua lieve che mi respinge,
cerca la stretta della mia man:
la tua pupilla esprime: "T'amo"
se il labbro dice: "Non t'amerò!"
Love itself bars you from not loving...
Your light hand that repels me,
still looks for the stroke of my hand:
your eyes exclaim: "I love you"
even when your lips say: "I will not love you!"
Caruso lived from February 25, 1873, to August 2, 1921.
He was born in Naples, and at the end of his life he returned to Naples, hoping to recover from illness but instead dying there. He did not live in Naples during his adult life. Caruso purchased the Villa Bellosguardo, a palatial country house near Florence, in 1904. Caruso's real home during his years of greatest fame was a suite at Manhattan's Knickerbocker Hotel.
The tenor made more than 260 recordings for the Victor Talking Machine Company. A sensation in opera houses and on concert stages, he is still famous because his records were incredibly popular during his own life and remained popular long after the tenor's death. Many singers of the twentieth century said they learned much while listening to Caruso's voice.
He was loved as the lead tenor in "warhorse" works--that is, in operas that stand the test of time, being produced often. But he also took risks, gambling on newly created roles (with no guarantee that the new opera would succeed) and also helping revive forgotten operas. He excelled in Italian and French roles. His voice was not suited for Mozart or Wagner.
The tenor's first recording session was in a hotel room in Milan on April 11, 1902.
One month earlier, Caruso enjoyed a triumph in the premiere of Franchetti’s opera Germania. This led to the tenor making records.
On April 11, 1902, Caruso was paid by the Gramophone & Typewriter Company’s Fred Gaisberg to sing ten numbers into a recording horn in a Milan hotel room. The fee was 100 pounds sterling.
The story about the company saying the fee was too high is apocryphal.
The tenor sang to piano accompaniment provided by Salvatore Cottone.
Gaisberg (either Fred or his brother Will) wrote “Carusso” on early wax blanks.
