This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Stuart1900 (talk | contribs) at 08:15, 5 July 2020 (→‎Recordings). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The following discography is a work in progress. Currently it contains all known published recordings by Enrico Caruso made through 1904 and some from his early years recording for the Victor Talking Machine Company in the United States. The recordings are listed chronologically by recording date, title, composer and matrix number. A list of unpublished recordings follows the main discography. When more than one "take" was recorded for a selection, only the published take number appears after the matrix number; occasionally, multiple takes of the same selection have been issued. If only one take was recorded, no take number is listed after the matrix number. Matrix numbers should not be confused with catalog numbers.
