VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just the slightest marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the time of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually with a translation of the text or similarly related comments. BESSIE ABOTT [s]. Riverdale, NY, 1878-New York, 1919. Following the death of her father which left her family penniless, Bessie and her sister Jessie (born Pickens) formed a vaudeville sister vocal act, accompanying themselves on banjo and guitar. Upon the recommendation of Jean de Reszke, who heard them by chance, Bessie began operatic training with Frida Ashforth. She subsequently studied with de Reszke him- self and appeared with him at the Paris Opéra, making her debut as Gounod’s Juliette. -
ARSC Journal
THE MARKETPLACE HOW WELL DID EDISON RECORDS SELL? During the latter part of 1919 Thomas A. Edison, Inc. began to keep cumulative sales figures for those records that were still available. The documents were continued into 1920 and then stopped. While the documents included sales figures for all series of discs time allowed me to copy only those figures for the higher priced classical series. Thus the present article includes the 82,000 ($2.00); 82,500 ($2.50); 83,000 ($3.00) and 84,000 ($4.00) series. Should there be sufficient interest it may be possible to do the other series at a later date. While the document did list some of the special Tone-Test records pressing figures were included for only two of them. I have arbitrarily excluded them and propose to discuss the Edison Tone Tests at a later date. The documents also originally included supplementary listings, which, for the sake of convenience, have been merged into the regular listings. The type copy of the major portion of the listings has been taken from regular Edison numerical catalogs and forms the framework of my forthcoming Complete Edison Disc Numerical Catalog. Several things may be noted: 1) Many of the sales figures seem surprisingly small and many of the records must be classed as rarities; 2) Deletion was not always because of poor sales-mold damage also played a part; 3) Records were retained even with extremely disappointing sales. Without a knowledge of the reason for discontinuance we cannot assume anything concerning records that had already been discontinued. -

VOCAL 78 rpm Discs FRANZ (FRANTISEK) PÁCAL [t]. Leitomischi, Austria, 1865-Nepomuk, Czechoslo- vakia, 1938. First an orchestral violinist, Pácal then studied voice with Gustav Walter in Vienna and sang as a chorister in Cologne, Bremen and Graz. In 1895 he became a member of the Vienna Hofoper and had a great success there in 1897 singing the small role of the Fisherman in Rossini’s William Tell. He then was promoted to leading roles and remained in Vienna through 1905. Unfor- tunately he and the Opera’s director, Gustav Mahler, didn’t get along, despite Pacal having instructed his son to kiss Mahler’s hand in public (behavior Mahler considered obsequious). Pacal stated that Mahler ruined his career, calling him “talentless” and “humiliating me in front of all the Opera personnel.” We don’t know what happened to invoke Mahler’s wrath but we do know that Pácal sent Mahler a letter in 1906, unsuccessfully begging for another chance. Leaving Vienna, Pácal then sang with the Prague National Opera, in Riga and finally in Posen. His rare records demonstate a fine voice with considerable ring in the upper register. -Internet sources 1858. 10” Blk. Wien G&T 43832 [891x-Do-2z]. FRÜHLINGSZEIT (Becker).

Bergamo, 1882-Buenos Aires, 1954. A student in Milan of Giuseppe Quiroli, whom she later married, Agostinelli made her debut in Pavia, 1903, as Giordano’s Fedora. She appeared with success in South America, Russia, Spain, England and her native Italy and was on the roster of the Manhattan Opera, 1908-10. One New York press notice indicates that her rendering of the “Suicidio” from La Gioconda on a Manhattan Sunday night concert “kept her busy bowing in recognition to applause for three or four minutes”. At La Scala she was cast with Battistini in Simon Boccanegra and created for that house in 1911 the Marschallin in their first Rosenkavalier. Her career continued into the mid-1920s when she retired to Buenos Aires and taught. 9142. BA 28137. TOSCA: Vissi d’arte (Puccini). OBT and pamphlet. Just about 1-2. $50.00.

Ma Chère Petite Aïno». the Role of a Paris
УДК 78.03 «Ma chère petite Aïno». The Role of a Paris Conservatoire Singing Professor as Architect of an Opera Singer’s Career, as Seen through Letters of Edmond Duvernoy and Aïno Ackté Helena Tyrväinen (Helsinki) «Моя милая Айно». Роль профессора пения Парижской консерватории в создании карьеры оперной певицы (по материалам переписки Эдмона Дювернуа и Айно Акте) Хелена Тюрвяйнен (Хельсинки) Аннотация. Собрание рукописей оперной певицы Айны Акте-Яландер (Aino /Aïno Ackté-Jalander; 1876– 1944) в Национальной библиотеке Финляндии (Хель- синки) содержит одну из самых обширных и интерна- ционально ориентированных эпистолярных коллекций в архивах финских музыкантов- профессионалов. Кол- лекция не только проливает свет на солидную между- народную репутацию талантливой представитель- ницы Великого княжества Финляндского в поздний период истории Российской империи, но и свидетель- ствует о динамичном процессе интернационализации финской музыкальной жизни. В настоящей статье рассматриваются этапы про- фессионального становления певицы в связи с дина- мичным, постоянно менявшимся полем воздействия существовавших одновременно культурных столиц. Основу публикации составляют 117 писем, почтовых открыток, записок, которые преподаватель по классу пения Эдмон Дювернуа (1844–1927) писал Айно Акте в течение тридцати лет. Письма Дювернуа дают пред- ставление о карьерной стратегии оперной певицы прежде всего в Париже; раскрывают вопросы взаи- модействия Парижской оперы с другими оперными театрами того времени, в частности Метрополитен- 226 опера Нью-Йорка. Письма же самой Акте к Дювернуа неизвестны. Представленная переписка свидетельствует о ключе- вой роли преподавателя вокала в Париже как учителя пения, репетитора, опекуна и посредника между уча- щимся и оперным учреждением на протяжении всей профессиональной жизни певца. Учитель договари- вался с оперными режиссерами об ангажементах, ко- торые давали бывшему ученику роли, подходившие ему по типу. -
La Jolie Fille De Perth
August 27, 2020 – Georges Bizet’s La Jolie Fille de Perth On this week’s Thursday Night Opera House, I’m pleased to present one of Georges Bizet’s lesser-known operas, La Jolie Fille de Perth (The Fair Maid of Perth), which was first performed in Paris the day after Christmas in 1867. Commissioned by the Théatre Lyrique following the success of The Pearl Fishers, it was set to a French libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint Georges and Jules Adenis based loosely on Sir Walter Scott’s novel of the same title. Despite its Scottish setting, the opera lacks any distinctively Scottish music. La Jolie Fille de Perth was well received at its premiere but lacked the staying power of Bizet’s most popular work, Carmen, or of The Pearl Fishers. Set in the Scottish town of Perth, the armorer Henry Smith (tenor Alfredo Kraus) is in love with Catherine Glover (soprano June Anderson). Smith agrees to provide shelter for the Gypsy Queen Mab (mezzo-soprano Margarita Zimmerman). Later, he’s visited by Catherine, her glove-making father Simon (bass-baritone Gabriel Bacquier), and his apprentice Ralph (bass-baritone José van Dam), who’s also in love with Catherine. The Duke of Rothsay (baritone Gino Quilico) invites Catherine to his castle and asks Mab, who’s his former mistress, to help him abduct her. Mab pretends to agree but foils the Duke’s machinations and engineers a reconciliation between Catherine and Henry. Georges Prêtre conducts the New Philharmonic Orchestra and the French Radio Chorus in this 1985 EMI recording. -

Martinelli’s sucess that evening led to his operatic debut there three weeks later as Verdi’s Ernani. Sala, however, experienced success by participating in the Teatro dal Verme world premiere of Zandonai’s Conchita and the Teatro Costanzi Italian premiere of Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West , both in 1911.
