Jonas Kaufmann followed in legendary footsteps last night: the role of Maurizio was taken at Adriana Lecouvreur's 1902 premiere by none other than Enrico Caruso.
Shortly afterwards Caruso made the above recording of No, più nobile. Although it's part of a duet, there's no soprano on the recording. Caruso is accompanied by the composer himself, Cilea, on piano.
