The other was in Hamburg. In 1923 Renner sang with the Vienna State Opera and 1925-26 at Salzburg as the Count in Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro.

Romagna, 1908-1990. A noted tenor with a “light lyrical and incisive timbre that not only is attractive but also projects well” [Alan Bilgora], Renzi was at home in lighter musical fare (which he often sang as ALDO VISCONTI) as well as opera. One of his recorded portrayals was Flavio in the complete late 1930s Norma with Gina Cigna and Ebe Stignani. 2372. 10” Red Cetra AA 494 [52308/52309]. SERENATA (Umberto Giordano)/LINA DE FERRARI [s].

Giuseppe was the younger brother of Vincenzo Reschiglian, a baritone who had a lengthy career at the Met. Giuseppe’s debut was in the title role in Marchetti’s Ruy Blas at Pordemone, 1895, continuing to be heard in various provincial Italian houses into 1905. He appears to have then temporarily ended his career, resuming it again in 1913 as Almaviva in Rossini’s Barbiere di Siviglia. He included several theaters in the Netherlands in his schedule from 1915-1918. The U.S. was a base for a number of his performances in the 1920s, including the Chicago Civic Opera and the Phila- delphia Grand Opera (where late in 1925 he was the leading tenor in Faust and Rigoletto). In 1930, Reschiglian appeared in recital in New York’s Town Hall, an unnamed reviewer in Musical America stating that the tenor was “adept in bel canto. His animated interpretations and ringing high notes won much admiration”. He was also with the Cincinnati Opera that year in Mascagni’s Iris and in Carmen, singing secondary roles in both pieces. The only recordings traced by him are the item below and four later sides for Fonotipia-Odeon (two released in the U.S. on Okeh). 9286. 11” Fonotipia 69369/69368 [XPh5264/5263].

Révy studied singing in Budapest, where she made her debut in 1897. Further studies took place in London, and she then appeared there with the Carl Rosa Opera and at Covent Garden. She was later a guest at La Scala and she was heard throughout Europe as (among other roles) Marguerite in Faust, Nedda, Elisabeth in Tannhauser, Carmen and Aida, the last two somewhat surprising considering her voice on records. She was also successful in operetta roles. 9283. 11” Brown Odeon 34665/34851 [Bx1586/ Bx1182]. NACHTIGALLENLIED (Wilhelm Ganz)/ADELHEID RUBENS [s]. HAB’ ICH NUR DEINE LIEBE (von Suppe).
