  • 10-06-2018 Aida Mat.Indd
    Synopsis Act I Egypt, during the reign of the pharaohs. At the royal palace in Memphis, the high priest Ramfis tells the warrior Radamès that Ethiopia is preparing another attack against Egypt. Radamès hopes to command the Egyptian army. He is in love with Aida, the Ethiopian slave of Princess Amneris, the king’s daughter, and he believes that victory in the war would enable him to free and marry her. But Amneris also loves Radamès and is jealous of Aida, whom she suspects of being her rival for Radamès’s affection. A messenger brings news that the Ethiopians are advancing. The king names Radamès to lead the army, and all prepare for war. Left alone, Aida is torn between her love for Radamès and loyalty to her native country, where her father, Amonasro, is king. In the temple of Vulcan, the priests consecrate Radamès to the service of the god Ptah. Ramfis orders Radamès to protect the homeland. Act II Ethiopia has been defeated, and in her chambers, Amneris waits for the triumphant return of Radamès. Alone with Aida, she pretends that Radamès has fallen in battle, then says that he is still alive. Aida’s reactions leave no doubt that she loves Radamès. Amneris is certain that she will defeat her rival. At the city gates, the king and Amneris observe the victory celebrations and praise Radamès’s triumph. Soldiers lead in the captured Ethiopians, among them Amonasro, who signals his daughter not to reveal his identity as king. Amonasro’s eloquent plea for mercy impresses Radamès, and the warrior asks that the order for the prisoners to be executed be overruled and that they be freed instead.

    DISCOGRAPHY THE FIRST MARTINELLI RECORDINGS A selection from original documents located at the Edison National Historic Site Compiled by Raymond R. Wile The recent organization of several of the letter files that had been maintained by various officers of Thomas A. Edison, Inc. has made it possible to gather together a grouping devoted to the first recording activities of Giovanni Martinelli. A few documents may be missing from the story since one major file-that belonging to Walter Miller, Head of the Foreign Department and Director of Recording, has not yet been arranged. The compilation throws considerable light on the impact that the young Martinelli must have made at the time of his London debut and also gives tantalizing glimpses of the musical scene of 1912. Since the documents provided additional information concerning the recordings I have appended a revised version of my discography of Martinelli's Edison recordings. The series of documents is reproduced through the courtesy of the McGraw-Edison Co. and through the kindness of the National Park Service's installation at the Edison National Historic Site. The continued kindness, enthusiasm and the sensitivity of the present and former staff to my research requirements has enabled me to make it useful and a pleasure to pursue. R.W. 22nd May. 1912. Mr. W. H. Miller, Manager, Recording Department, 79-83 Fifth Avenue, NEW YORK. U.S.A. Dear Mr Miller, In my letter of April 27th I referred to the tenor Martinelli who made such a very favourable impression on his first appearance at Covent Garden. He has appeared frequently since, and is referred to by all of the critics as a great find.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Marston’s name is ‘synonymous with tender Richard loving care to collectors of historical CDs’. Opera News calls his work ‘revelatory’, and Fanfare deems him ‘miraculous’. In 1996 Ward Marston received the Gramophone award for Historical Vocal Recording of the Year, WAGNER honouring his production and engineering work on Romophone’s complete recordings of Lucrezia Bori. He also (1818-1892) served as re-recording engineer for the Franklin Mint’s Arturo Toscanini issue and BMG’s Sergey Rachmaninov recordings, both winners of the Best Historical Album Grammy. Born blind in 1952, Ward Marston has amassed tens of thousands of opera classical records over the past four Tristan und Isolde decades. Following a stint in radio while a student at Williams College, he became well-known as a reissue producer in 1979, when he restored the earliest known stereo recording made by the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932. Opera in three acts, 1865 In the past, Ward Marston has produced records for a number of major and specialist record companies.
