Eduardo Di Capua belongs to the musical record as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Eduardo Di Capua as Italian composer, singer and songwriter (1865–1917).
Eduardo Di Capua was born at Naples in 1865. His recorded nationality is Italy.
This was the century of the virtuoso and the touring soloist, when a performer could become famous across a continent.
He worked as composer, singer and opera singer.
The instruments recorded are voice.
Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.
That the work came out of Italy shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Eduardo Di Capua died in 1917, aged 52. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
