Opera stimboard, this time not for a whole opera or a specific character, but for the aria (solo song) “Che gelida manina” (“What a cold little hand”), sung by the character Rodolfo in the opera La bohème (listen to it here).

Love is in Da Blog - Feb 19: Che gelida manina! La Bohème #LoIsInDaBl23
Today’s Love is in Da Blog prompt is ‘choose your own‘.
My understanding of the Italian language is limited to a handful of words and a few phrases, but I absolutely love the Italian opera La Bohème, especially the first song Rodolfo sings to Mimi, Che gelida manina!. This is a song of one lonely soul reaching out to another lonely heart. I don’t have to understand every word of the lyrics,…

Arturo Toscanini in 1898:
"By Heaven! If this Neapolitan continues to sing like this, he will make the whole world talk about him."
Beniamino Gigli:
"I wonder what would have become of me if, like him, I had been born in a city slum; for I did not have the gifts of personality that enabled Caruso to create life and warmth around him wherever he went."
Bruno Walter:
"I loved his voice, his talent, the sense of beauty expressed in his nuances of timbre, his portamento and rubato, his great musicality and naturalness, and we got along so well."
Caruso about his first teacher:
"It was he [Guglielmo Vergine] who impressed, time and again, the necessity of singing as nature intended, and - I remember - he constantly warned, don't let the public know that you work. So I went slowly. I never forced the voice."
Caruso about his performance:
"I know that I shall sing only a certain number of times. So I think to myself, "Tonight I will hold back my voice. I will save it a little and that will mean I may be able to sing a few more times." But when I go before the audience, when I hear the music and begin to sing, I cannot hold back. I give the best there is in me - I give all."
Caruso about his singing:
"I suffer so much in this life. That is what they [the audience] are feeling when I sing, that is why they cry. People who felt nothing in this life cannot sing."
Caruso about Nellie Melba and Melba about Caruso:
Not a quote but an action. The Australian soprano Nellie Melba was notorius for her ruthlessness and coldness. Performing with her in La Bohème Caruso, as a joke, pressed a hot sausage into her hand that he'd hidden in his pocket as he sang "Che gelida manina, se la lasci riscaldar."("What a cold little hand, let me warm it"). She had considered Caruso coarse and uncultivated and this, of course, only confirmed that ...
Melba, however, was impressed with Caruso's voice and wrote in her autobiography (Melodies and Memories): "As a voice - pure and simple - his was the most wonderful tenor I ever heard."
Geraldine Farrar:
“There are two singers you must put aside, one is Enrico Caruso, the other is Rosa Ponselle. Then you may begin to discuss all the others!”
Giovanni Martinelli about Caruso:
At a party an overdressed flamboyant woman persisted in demanding answers from Giovanni Martinelli
to questions in a loud voice to attract attention. Finally she said, “Come now, Mr. Martinelli, tell us the truth – Caruso was never as good as his press made him to be, is that not the truth.” Martinelli swung around and faced his tormentor. “Madame”, he declared in his accented, but thoroughly accurate English, “Put Gigli, Lauri-Volpi and me together – make us one tenor – and we would not be fit to kiss Caruso’s shoe tops”. “Does that answer you?”
Guilio Gatti-Casazza (director of the Metropolitan Opera):
"I heard all the great tenors of my time over and over again. Many of them were wonderful artists and had extraordinary voices. But in my opinion, not a single one of them ever sang an entire role with such vocal and artistic consistency as Caruso."
John McCormack about Caruso's voice:
"36 years later that voice still rings in my ears, the memory of it will never die."
Richard Strauss in excitement after hearing Caruso the first time:
"He is singing the soul (spirit) of the melody!"
Rosa Ponselle:
"When you speak of tenors, you have to divide them into two groups. Caruso in the first group. All the others are in the second."
The soprano Geraldine Farrar writes in her biography that she, the first time she stood on stage with Caruso, forgot to sing as she had broken into tears from the beauty of Caruso's voice.
"I have seen him sob for five minutes in his dressing room after the first act [of Pagliacci]; I have seen him fall on the stage, faint from emotion; and I have also seen him come off whistling gaily and joking with the chorus. Whatever his own emotions were, his audience was invariably overwhelmed. I asked him to explain the secret of this power. He said, "I suffer so much in this life, Doro. That is what they feeling when I sing, that is why they cry. People who felt nothing in this life cannot sing."From "Enrico Caruso - His Life and Death" by Dorothy Caruso.

Hey Operablr
You all have to have at least once instance where you have multiple recordings of the same song/aria/piece on your Spotify Wrapped. Which just really annoys me, because I want to know where the piece would have been had their powers been combined.

51 and 63
18 and 75
