Her final performance seems to have been Leonora in Il Trovatore at ’s Teatro dal Verme. See: . ESTHER PALLISER (or PALLISSER) [s]. Germantown, PA, 1872 - ? , She was taught by her musician parents and then studied further in Europe. Her operatic debut was in Rouen as Marguerite in . This was followed by work with the D’Oyly Carte Company in 1890. Her career included other Gilbert and Sullivan performances and tours, concerts, music festivals and grand opera at Covent Garden and Drury Lane. An appearance at the July, 1916 San Diego Panama-California Exposition indicates that she was active at least through this period, but as to her subsequent career and life nothing seems to be known. 1118. 10” Blk.

A student of Alberto Sciaretti, Poleri made his debut in , 1949, with the San Carlo Opera as Gounod’s Faust and 1951 with the NYC Opera as Alfredo in . In 1954 he created the leading role of Michele in Menotti’s The Saint of Bleeker Street in New York (in English) and the following year at La Scala (in Italian) and, in addition, appeared at Glyndbourne, Edinburgh, the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and various other operatic festival sites. His death occurred during a sightseeing helicopter crash in Hawaii. He evidently had quite a temper, as in singing in Carmen with Gloria Lane at the Chicago Lyric Opera, he “stalked off the stage in the final act, snarling ‘Finish it yourself!’ at the conductor (with whom he had had a tiff)”. Miss Lane thereupon sang both his part and hers and ended up committing suicide by stabbing herself with her thumb instead of a knife. His son, also David, is an active operatic tenor today and has appeared at the Met and many other venues. 4334. 10” Late Red RCA Victor 10-3910.

She appears to have wed one Mr. Gatti in 1931 and then retired from the stage, returning in 1936 as Elisa Gatti-Porcinai. Her career was in the Italian provincial theaters in leading roles of operas such as L’Amico Fritz, Andrea Chenier, Mefistofele, La Bohème and Il Piccolo Marat. YVONNE PRINTEMPS [s]. See: FEODOR CHALIAPIN [bs] TULLIO QUERCIA [b]. See: ELVINO VENTURA [t]. Quercia (, 1878-1950) received his degree in engineering prior to launching an operatic career. His debut was in 1901 as Escamillo in Carmen at the Naples San Carlo, and he retired in 1913, a result of a lengthy illness. Despite this, he continued as a teacher, one of his major pupils having been tenor Pedro Mirassou. GIUSEPPE RADAELLI [t]. Bergamo, 1885-, 1939. One source indicates that Radaelli made his debut as Enzo in La Gioconda, 1914, at the Teatro in Macerata. Another states he was first heard in Sicily. After singing in the Italian provinces, he made his debut at the Teatro Costanzi in 1919 as Don Jose, appearing there again in 1923. An obituary and an internet site both mention his work at La Scala in 1923 but his name doesn’t appear in the La Scala Cronologia. He likely sang in South America in the 1930s. Radaelli’s final appearances were with the Salmaggi Opera in New York in Aida and Pagliacci in 1938, and he had previously been connected with Salmaggi performances in New York as early as 1924. 4195. 10” Maroon elec.

RENÉE EFIMOVA RADINA-FIGNER [s]. Russia, 1872-Vienna, 1944. The second wife of tenor Nicolai Figner (following his divorce from Medea Mei-Figner in 1904), Radina-Figner was a gifted lyric soprano. She made her debut in 1893 and appeared in opera in a number of Russian houses and in Germany and Austria as well. As seems to have been the wont of many artists of the period, she sang a wide variety of roles, including Euridice, Aida, and Santuzza, and of course a number of Russian roles, such as Lisa in Pique Dame (which the first Mrs. Figner had created). Radina left the opera stage in 1905, likely to wed Nikolai that year and to give birth to a daughter, born in 1906. She subsequently appears to have sung only on occasion in concert and also to have made a few rare recordings for The Gramophone Company/Zonophone. 4723. 10” Blk. Pre-Dog Angel St. Petersburg Gram.

Rider- Reed) was a leading concert and oratorio soprano. She made an operatic debut at Covent Garden in 1908 as Micaëla in Carmen (with Maria Gay). She received successful reviews, but, according to her second husband, she “hated the artificiality of it, the make-up, the idea of climbing a ladder to make an entrance down a hill…” After three performances she returned to the U.S. and completely abandoned any further thoughts of opera. Her career continued into the 1930s, after which she taught. She made one exceedingly rare record for Victor in 1910 and beginning in 1915 recorded exclusively for Columbia for slightly over a decade. 4210. 10” Blk.

Ferentino, 1857-Milano, 1907. A very humorous (at least I find him so) buffo. He was successful in , including La Scala, preceding his Met debut in La Boheme, 1903, as both Benoit and Alcindoro. His other roles during his Met tenure included Don Pasquale, Dr. Dulcamara, Masetto and the Sacristan in . He had been in San Francisco touring with the Metropolitan Opera during the disastrous earthquake of 1906, and it left him in a state of increasing “emotional distress”. On Feb. 16, 1907, he participated in Don Pasquale, which turned out to be one of the strangest presentations in Met history. The first scene of act one was completely omitted. Rossi appeared in the second act but sang it entirely seated in a chair. It was announced that he was indisposed and that the remainder of the opera would be sung without a Don Pasquale. The act turned out to be tenor, Andreas Dippel, singing “Com’è gentil” and then soprano Marcella Sembrich rendering Arditi’s “Parla” which, of course, had nothing to do with Don Pasquale. Shortly after, Rossi or the management cancelled the rest of his season. He returned to Italy and in June of 1907 committed suicide “in a moment of desperation”. –Information from Jim McPherson’s article in The Record Collector, Vol. 46, No. 1. 4624. 10” Blk.

She subsequently appeared in many of Austria and Germany’s major houses. She was at home in both opera and operetta. One of her most famous stage co-stars was tenor , with whom she first partnered in Carmen in 1921 and finally at the Vienna Staatsoper in 1938 in a work they had created in 1929, Lehár’s Land des Lächelns. Marguerite Slezak, one of her pupils, recounted in her autobiography that Schwarz lived with her mother (in the later 1920s), “a delicate yet unbelievably energetic lady. Mama Schwarz missed no performance of her daughter. She sat in the middle of the parquet and influenced the audience's applause particularly loudly. While doing so she would turn left and right claiming loudly: "Charming, magnificent! Who is this God- gifted singer?". One time an acquaintance sat behind, unseen by her. [Following Mama’s outbursts] he bent forward and said, for everyone to overhear: "But, gnädige Frau, surely you would know that!" Schwarz left Austria in 1938 for England and then the U.S. Here she sang with the Chicago Opera, gave recitals and also taught, her pupils having included Risë Stevens and Marni Nixon. In 1948 she returned to Vienna, where she taught and gave master classes at the Salzburg Mozarteum. –Wikipedia. 4976. 10” Dk. Blue PW Odeon O-11 105 [Be8600-2/Be8663-2].

He then found employment in one of the T.

CRISTINA SORO [s]. Concepcion, Chile, 1890 - ? . Born Cristina Soro Barriga de Baltra, Soro began vocal studies with Italian teachers who had settled in Chile. Her debut was at the age of 15 at the Santiago Teatro Municipal, singing compositions of her brother, Enrique Soro Barriga. It was Barriga who accompanied Soro in her first group of Red Seal Victor Records, these recorded in Santiago in 1917 on portable equipment by a Victor talent scout then visiting Central and South America. This was a year after she had graduated with highest honors from the Santiago Con-servatory of Music, receiving a degree of Professor of Music. On the success of her trial recordings (which were her first issued Victor Red Seals), Victor wanted her to come to Camden to record with orchestra, but she had entered in a course of study at the Verdi Conservatory in Milano and wasn’t available until 1922, when she made (with orchestra) her second and final group of records. A con-cert tour of Mexico with pianist/composer Manuel Ponce followed this. Apparently Soro didn’t ap-pear in opera, her career having been as a recitalist and teacher. She was active in the latter capacity in 1949 when she was interviewed for Hobbies magazine by William R. Moran (and from which ar-ticle this information is taken). 4628. 10” Red Vla 66108.

LAWRENCE STRAUSS [t]. Portland, OR, 1882 - ? . Strauss, who settled in California early in his career, spent a period of years studying in Europe with Jules Algier, Jean De Reszke and Yvette Guilbert (France), Fritz Lindemann (Berlin) Sir George Henschel, Raymond von zur Mühlen and Watkin Mills (England). Active primarily on the U.S. West Coast, it wasn’t until 1929 that he made his East Coast debut in recital, first in Boston and then New York, to exceptionally complimentary criticism. He also appeared throughout the country in oratorio and recital, his particular enthusiasms having been French and German songs, as well as contemporary music. In addition to a small group of discs apparently made later in his career for a San Francisco company, Photo & Sound (example below), he made two private recordings for Victor in 1927 (which I’ve never seen) along with a test for Victor five years earlier. 4434. 10” Yellow Vinyl (plastic) elec.

ALESSANDRO VALENTE [t]. Torino, 1890-1958. The “mysterious” life of Valente was researched in an invaluable Record Collector Magazine article, Vol. XXXIV, No. 1, by noted collector Alan Bilgora. Valente sang as a youth in a church choir and as a teenager in an opera chorus, but following in his father’s tracks, he pursued a career as an engraver and an engineer, achieving notable accomplishments in these areas. Other than his celebrated records, however, he had considerably less success professionally as a singer. His first record was made in 1914 under his vaudeville name, Alex Vallo. Carlo Sabajno conducted the session and requested a kickback on the tenor’s recording fee, to which Valente wouldn’t agree. Various other intrigues and conspiracies apparently affected what should have been a tremendously successful career, judging from his recordings made from the 1927 to 1931 period. His most successful stage work seemed to have been as an assisting artist for Luisa Tetrazzini on her farewell tour in 1934 and in 1927 in a run of Andrea Chenier performances at the Rome Teatro Adriano. 4111. 10” PW Plum Electrola (with superimposed Czech “Gramola” lbl.)

She was discovered in 1889 by , then directing the Hungarian Opera, and was prepared by Mahler for her debut: Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni. Despite being twenty and inexperienced, however, she refused to go on at the last minute as she was denied a new costume. She still was to develop into one of the “preeminent members of the permanent ensemble” of the Budapest Opera. In 1893 she was Hungary’s first Nedda in that country’s premiere performance of Pagliacci. She created Isolde in the Hungarian premiere of Tristan und Isolde in 1901. Vasquez was a guest in several European opera houses, including having sung Aida in 1902 at the Vienna Opera. She remained a leading member of the Budapest Opera until 1917 and subsequently taught. The title “Countess” was the result of her marriage to a Hungarian country squire. She appears to have recorded only in 1902. 4719. 10” Blk. Budapest G&T 53244 [1170x]. OTELLO: Ave Maria (Verdi).

Voigt, an American, had a series of “concert triumphs” in Berlin and had been offered “a most advantageous” contract from the Berlin Royal Opera, as well as by Conried for the Metropolitan in the early 1900s. She chose not to accept these offers because of the death of her hustand, after which she retired for a period. In resuming her career, primarily in the U.S. midwest, it was as an oratorio soloist and as a guest with the larger German-American Sängerfests. At one such event it was noted that her voice carried “to absolute perfection … over a chorus of 5000 in fortissimo”[!]. In 1913, Voigt was a guest soloist at a special fund raising concert at the Armory on 25th St. and Lexington Avenue in New York where “twelve to fourteen thousand people” heard her sing “Dich teure Halle” with Victor Herbert conducting an orchestra comprised of 150 principal players from the NY Philharmonic, NY Symphony, Metropolitan Opera and the Victor Herbert Orchestra.”Mme. Voigt’s voice easily filled the immense auditorium, noted a reviewer, “and she was warmly applauded”.

She also appeared in musicals and operetta (de Koven’s Rob Roy in 1912 was a particular success) as well as in oratorio and in recitals.

Described as a “full-blooded [Maine] Penobscot Indian mezzo-soprano” in publicity material, Watahwaso was active in the late ‘teens and 1920s in concerts of songs of the American Indians or arranged versions by various composers. She would occasionally add groups of other concert repertoire, such as at her Aeolian Hall (NYC) debut in 1920, which included “Voce di Donna” from Ponchielli’s La Gioconda and Bemberg’s Chant Indou. In later years she was a political activist for American Indian causes. She and her second husband, Chief Poolaw, performed in local venues and in 1947 had a 24 foot teepee built next to their home as a gift store and tourist attraction, which they operated until her death. – Internet sources 5109. 10” Blk. acous.

He was with the Russian Imperial Opera (the Bolshoi) around 1901, alternating with Tartakov. His American debut was in concert in New York at the Hippodrome, 1920, under the sponsorship of Sol Hurok. Musical America stated that his voice was “fresh, full, resonant, manly and even throughout its long range-one of the best baritone voices newly heard here in a long time. His production is excellent and there is freedom and flexibility in his singing. He is an artist – though, with his peculiar appearance [not further explained], into just what niche in American musical life he will fit is difficult to say.” He toured for the next few years and eventually settled in Brooklyn where he served as a Cantor.
