In issuing the present Supplement to our Catalogues of Gramophone Records, we add yet another famous name to the long list of musical celebrities who have recognised the wonderful perfection to which the Gramophone has attained. Madame Albani, the world-renowned Diva, while staying a short time ago at Truro, heard, to her astonishment, 'l'amagno's voice singing the " Morte d'Otello" in an adjoining room in her hotel. Filled with amazement she sent to the room in question and discovered that one of our representatives was entertaining some friends with his Gramophone. Madame Albani immediately requested him to bring the instrument to her salon, and our representative was not released until he had pjayed every one of the records he had with him, some of them twice over. The result was that Madame Albani visited the Gramophone Laboratory and made several records for us, two of which we now give to the world, only remarking in publishing them that Madame Albani has accorded the most unstinted praise to the Gramophone, and has expressed her entire satisfaction with our records of her voice. What further recommendation can he asked for? R.L. 3505 " Home, Sweet Home." R.L. 55325 "Ombra mai fu." (Handel's Largo.)

TAMAGNOGRAMOPHONERECORDS. COMM. FRANCESCO TAMAGNO. Comm. Francesco Tamagno is acknowledged to possess the voice of a century. He is an Artiste still in his prime ; he is crowned with honours, and there echoes in his ears the acclamation of every capital in Europe. Comm. Tamagno is devoted to art, and so jealous of his reputation that the most latish offers of operatic impressarios all over the world will not tempt him to sing except upon special occasions. for In order to make records of Comm. Tamagno's voice it was necessary the entire staff of our There latest laboratories to proceed to his Palace at San Remo on the Riviera. was erected our recording in his he in plant, especially built for the occasion. In his own Palace, own good time, and when was a to do himself justice, the great singer made the Records mentioned below. The effect on the mood be instantly listener is that the making of these Records was a labour of love. In listening to them this can greater he, in realised. Tamagno was singing in this case to an audience far than any that even all his unique experiences, had delighted-namely, Posterity. Comm. Francesco Tamagno has granted to the Gramophone and Typewriter Ltd. the exclusive right for the reproduction of his voice for the whole world. 526735=67452675From " Otello," by Verdi, " Esultate."

"CARMEN SYLVA" (Her Majesty The Queen of Roumania). Firstly, because These records will interest the whole world. there " Carmen Sylva," is not a civilized country where the poetical works of the Royal Poetess, have not been generally read and admired. Secondly, because the sweet gentle tones of her deep and sympathetic voice are reproduced to the life in our records and will appeal most strongly to all lovers of the poetic muse.

KUBELIK. It is quite certain that no immediately modem violinist has created so personal a sensation as Kubelik. In every country and nearly on every occasion of his appearances, he has conquered the severest and most exclusive of critics. His technique and execution are as near as may be perfect, and no better proof of that fact could be given than in the Records which we have been fortunate enough to persuade him to give us. One may mention the Sextette from "Lucia di Lammermoor" Record as a singular example of this young player's wonderful capacity for overcoming that which is extremely difficult with what maybe called the very innocence of facility. R.L. 7956 " Serenade," by llrdla. R.L. 7957 Sextette from "Lucia di Lammermoor," by St. Lubin. RED LABEL" GRAMOPHONERECORDS. Emma Calve ranks surely as one among the most amazing operatic Santuzza, her artists of her time. She is an incomparable vocal actress ; as Ophelia, it is infinitely voice is passionate, native, overwhelming : as pathetic ; as Carmen, it comes to you with a whirl of emotion ; and it is in this last part that she will probably be remembered as one remembers the singers of the eighteenth century, such as Minghotti or Faustina. The dramatic records of the Gramophone bring out in a peculiar way the element in her voice which has made h-r so rightly famous in the world of music.

It is odd to think that Madame Suzanne Adams, who has become so extremely popular a singer and actress in these days, has only been before the public some eight years, hrr debut taking place at the Grand Opera, Paris, 1895. That was in the part of Juliette, but in many another part- such as Marguerite and Zerlina-she has also made for herself a consider- able name. She is above all a natural and pure singer, and these qualities are pointedly brought out in the records which we have been able to make of her artistry.

Caruso is one of those men, the tribe of which seems to have been initiated by Lord Byron when he declared that one fine morning he awoke is to find himself famous. His conquest is a recent one, but there no he takes question that in s finely rugged and powerfully emotional part a place among modern tenors. He has been the object of much unique back laudation, partly owing to the fact, it may be, that he brought to be London the spirit of old Italian song, which had seemed to extinct. The records which he has made for us are there to prove the truth of these words. Verdi.
