18.2 Vocal 78S. Abott-Fuentes, Pp 23-72 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 minor marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the era 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 acquired years ago and others the result of having improved copies in my own collection (which is gradually being listed) via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those records marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. Also featured are many “Z” shellac Victors, their best surface material (produced in the later 1930s) and PW (Pre-War) Victor, almost as good surface material as “Z”. Likewise laminated PW Columbia pressings (1923-1940) offer similarly fine sound. Vinyl pressings usually provide superb results. Needless to say, top copies of original pressings should provide superb results. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to many collectors. These figures do not necessarily indicate the “value” of the items but rather the lowest minimum bid I can accept. Some will sell for much more, although bids at any figure you deem appropriate from the minimum on up are welcomed and appreciated. To avoid possible tie winning bids (which would otherwise be assigned to the earlier received bid), I’d suggest adding a cents amount to your bid. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-1914), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually featuring translations of the text or related comments. VERTICALLY CUT RECORDS. There were basically two vertical systems: the “needle-cut” method employed by Edison, which was also used by Aeolian-Vocalion and Lyric and the “sapphire ball” system of Pathé, also used by Rex. and vertical Okeh. While the grooving is similar (up and down or “hill and dale”), an Edison reproducer and its diamond point would ruin any other needle-cut vertical record. Emerson used the needle cut system early on but cut on a 45 degree angle, supposedly thereby playable either as a vertical or a lateral record. Pathé and its close French relatives (Dutreih, etc.) will be found under the vertical Pathé listings. Edison listings will include just Edison Discs. All other vertical records will be listed among 78s with vertical clearly marked. VINYL PRESSINGS. There are a number of vinyl pressings from various sources in this catalogue, mostly produced originally in extremely limited quantities (estimated from one to twenty). Red vinyl pressings were pressed as tests for the Victor Heritage Series in the late 1940s in quantities of three. The sound quality of vinyls is usually superior to most shellac issues. Those marked 10” (on 12”) are of 10” records (or other smaller sizes) pressed on 12” format (likely because 10” record presses weren’t available at the time). Some collectors will prefer the clean sound of most vinyl pressings, while others are attracted by the lure of original shellac pressings, which of course also provide excellent sound via clean copies. VOCAL 78 rpm Discs UNIDENTIFIED SOPRANO and TENOR. Alan Kelly’s Gramophone matrix listings indicate that side one was among a group of matrices made to accompany a specially produced film to coordinate with the recording. The film featured mime actors or perhaps in some cases the singers themselves. These Biophon pressings utilized both published recordings and specially made selections (as in the case below). Both artists on side one below sound familiar to me, particularly the very capable soprano. Kelly’s matrix listings, however, don’t provide names, and that side wasn’t commercially issued by G&T. 2272. 12” Orange Biophon Gramophone G&T M.P. 914/042119 [0775v/496i]. DAUGHTER OF THE REGIMENT: Du liebst mich (Donizetti) / KARL JÖRN [t]. LOHENGRIN: Lohengrins Abschied (Wagner). Both sides are heavily rubbed with some greying and lt. scrs.

Oderberg, Ger- many, 1890 – Buenos Aires, 1955. Her career began in 1915 at the Hamburg Stadttheater, where she remained until 1918. She was then with the Vienna Opera for a season, returning to Hamburg in 1920, where she remained as a “permanent guest” until 1931. In 1921 she created the title role in the German premiere of Puccini’s Suor Angelica. Ader was the composer’s great love from 1920 until his death. Said Puccini in a 1921 letter to her, “I think and will think about you, about your beauty, your eyes, your mouth, your hair, your hands, so many of your things so beautiful and dear that I would like to have here close to me.” She was heard in a number of other opera houses such as Rome’s Teatro Costanzi (as Mimì) in 1922, La Scala (1928-29), the Vienna Staatsoper (1931-38), the Paris Théâtre Pigalle as Rosalinda in Der Fledermaus, repeating the same role at Covent Garden the next season. Being Jewish, she left Germany in 1933. From 1949 until her death she taught in Buenos Aires. The disc below is the only published recording of her voice. – Letter quoted is from a group handled by leading musical autograph dealers J. and J. Lubrano: [email protected] 2226. 12” Dk.

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.

    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).
