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 suc- cess in South America, Russia, Spain, Eng- land and her native Italy and was on the roster of the Hammerstein Manhattan Opera, 1908-10. One New York press notice indi- cates 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.

Baratto’s original training was as an electrician, which supported his vocal studies. In 1908, he made his debut at the Sociale di Biella in Ernani. His career was first in small Italian theaters. Following a tour of Russia and the Far East around 1910, which lasted over a year, he returned to Italy to appear in larger Italian houses such as Torino, Verona, Bologna and Monza. Singing as a guest with opera companies in Egypt and Portugal, Baratto then assumed leading roles at the Naples Teatro San Carlo, including Scarpia and Iago. At the Arena in Verona, 1922, he was Telramund in Lohengrin. One of his par- ticular successes was the part of Jack Rance in Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West, which he first interpreted in 1913 at the Sociale di Como. Baratto’s career continued into the later 1920s. His only recordings were cylinders and unpublished discs for Edison in 1910 and a few sides for a small company in Italy in the 1920s. 9344.

Berger had been very successful as a baritone in Germany and Austria in particular when he met Oscar Saenger, the teacher of his to-be wife, Marie Rappold, following a perform- ance of Amfortas (another source states the role was Klingsor) in Parsifal at Bayreuth in 1908. When Saenger suggested that he was really a tenor, Berger cancelled his European operatic itinerary for the season and sailed for New York to study with Saenger. Upon returning to Ger- many he made his re-entry at the Berlin Opera as Lohengrin and never returned to baritone parts. He was first heard at the Metropolitan Opera in 1914 as Siegmund. Berger’s last appearance was - 7 - Vocal CYLINDERS as Siegfried in Götterdämmerung, Feb. 18, 1915. He died eight days later of heart problems from which he had apparently been suffering for some time. 9363. U.S. Everlasting Oscar Saenger Singing Record No. 6. CARMEN: La fleur (Bizet). Piano acc. In German. Announced by Oscar Saenger. Rim information states only “Singaphone No. 6” These Saenger cylinders may be unpublished. I’ve never seen or heard of this series, and I would guess they must have been recorded about the time that U.S. Everlasting went out of business (later 1912). It would seem that they were made to advertise Saenger’s pupils (and thereby Saenger). He refers to Herr Berger in the announcement as “First Tenor of the Royal Opera, Berlin”. It would be fascinating to find out more about this group and what other recordings were made, particularly as this is number six. You will find another in this catalogue under Orville Harrold, also a Saenger pupil. In repro Edison BA box. The surface is slightly rippled, but it plays quite well using a Blue Amberol reproducer.

In 1904-05 he was engaged as Amfortas in a U.S. tour of Wagner’s Parsifal with the Savage Opera Company, appearing in sixty-four American cities. He was subsequently heard throughout Germany, including in the 1909 Berlin premiere of Strauss’s Elektra, and later in the premieres of a number of operas by composers such as Hindemith, von Reznicek, d’Albert and Gian Francesco Malipiero. His RUDOLF BERGER in his study only recordings were two 1907 Hanover G&T discs and three 1909 Edison cylinders. 9334. Edison BA 26072. DIE WALKÜRE: Wotans Abschied (Wagner). Repro B/T.

After singing principal parts in Italian provincial theaters, Cilla became internationally famous as an interpreter of comprimario roles. At La Scala, he was in the 1911 Italian premiere of La Fanciuilla del West and was active there and at the Rome Costanzi for many seasons between 1910 and 1940. Also, from 1925-1937, he was frequently on the Covent Garden stage and appeared in performances there recorded by HMV (including Otello with Zenatello and Turandot with Martinelli). Cilla’s U.S. debut was in 1910 with the Boston Opera. 9333. Edison Blue Amberol 22442. DON PASQUALE: Com’ è gentil (Donizetti). OBT. Just about 1-2. $50.00. FLORENCIO CONSTANTINO [t] 9359.

He originally studied as a baritone and made his initial stage appearance in 1892 as Escamillo. Restudying as a tenor, he then made a second debut in 1899 as the Steersman in Der fliegende Holländer. He added most of the principal tenor Wagnerian roles to his repertoire and gave memorable performances as Siegfried at Bayreuth (1906) and Covent Garden (1908-09). Other opera houses in which he appeared were in Paris, Stockholm, Karlsruhe, Oslo and Buda- pest. Retiring in 1922, Cornelius made one final appearance in 1927 as Tannhäuser when the engaged tenor became ill. 9332. 2-M Wax Edison 15149. MAJSANG (Lembcke). OB (plain top). Just about 1-2. $35.00.

Harrold’s career began in operetta in 1906. After studies with Oscar Saenger in 1910, he made his debut with Hammerstein’s Manhattan Opera and appeared subsequently as a leading tenor with several U.S. companies, including the Chicago Opera and the Met. He retired from the latter in 1924 and then sang in vaudeville. 9362. U.S. Everlasting Oscar Saenger Singing Record No. 7. THE SNOWY BREASTED PEARL (Robinson). Piano acc. Announced by Oscar Saenger. Rim information states only “Singaphone No. 7”. These Saenger cylinders may be unpublished. I’ve never seen or heard of this series, and I would guess they must have been recorded about the time that U.S. Everlasting went out of business. It would seem that they were made to advertise Saenger’s pupils (and thereby Saenger). It would be fascinating to find out more about this group and what other recordings were made, particularly as this is number seven. You will find one other in this catalogue under Rudolf Berger, who Saenger retrained as a tenor.

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • 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.

  • Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera
    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write.

ROCHESTER Thirty-first Season, 1911-1912 MAX FIEDLER, Conductor Programme WITH HISTORICAL AND DESCRIP- TIVE NOTES BY PHILIP HALE MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29 AT 8.15 COPYRIGHT, 1911, BY C. A. ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER : : Vladimir De Pachmann The Greatest Pianist Of the 20th Century ON TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES SEASON: 1911-1912 For generations the appearance of new stars on the musical firmament has been announced — then they came with a temporary glitter — soon to fade and to be forgotten. De Pachmann has outlived them all. With each return he won additional resplendence and to-day he is acknowl- edged by the truly artistic public to be the greatest exponent of the piano of the twentieth century. As Arthur Symons, the eminent British critic, says "Pachmann is the Verlaine or Whistler of the Pianoforte the greatest player of the piano now living." Pachmann, as before, uses the BALDWIN PIANO for the expression of his magic art, the instrument of which he himself says " .... It cries when I feel like crying, it sings joyfully when I feel like singing. It responds — like a human being — to every mood. I love the Baldwin Piano." Every lover of the highest type of piano music will, of course, go to hear Pachmann — to revel in the beauty of his music and to marvel at it. It is the beautiful tone quality, the voice which is music itself, and the wonderfully responsive action of the Baldwin Piano, by which Pachmann's miraculous hands reveal to you the thrill, the terror and the ecstasy of a beauty which you had never dreamed was hidden in sounds.

  • Karel Burian and Hungary Research Director: Anna Dalos Phd Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Doctoral School No
    DLA Theses Ferenc János Szabó Karel Burian and Hungary Research director: Anna Dalos PhD Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Doctoral School No. 28 for the History of Art and Culture Budapest 2011 I. Antecedents of the research Karel Burian was one of the best tenors of the first two decades of the twentieth century. The authors of his biographies always mention his Wagner roles – mainly Tristan – and his long presence in New York, and primarily the world premiere of Salome by Richard Strauss, when he played the role of Herod to much acclaim. His reputation and popularity might be measured against those of Enrico Caruso. Burian was first engaged in Budapest as a young but already well- known Wagner-tenor, he worked there for one year as a member of the Opera House, then later as guest singer regularly until his death. He was likely the most influential operatic world star in Budapest at the beginning of the twentieth century, and was the founder and for many years the only intended representative of the Heldentenor role in Hungary. He primarily sang Wagner operas, but there was also a Hungarian opera on his repertoire in Budapest. A study of his activities in Hungary contributes to our knowledge of Hungarian opera life, and Burian’s whole career affected the cultural history of the period because of his frequent guest appearances in Budapest. Burian’s Budapest activity had a great influence on the young composers of that time, most notably on Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály as well. There is a relatively large amount of literature about Burian, mostly in Czech, English and German.
