EDISON DIAMOND-DISCS SS=early “smooth surface” (laminated “etched” label area, 1912-1915); RC= “Edison Re-Creation” Paper Label (1921-1924); ER= “Edison Record” Paper Label (1924-1929). All others (1916-1920) have various forms of “etched” black centers. All explanatory talks are by Harry E. Humphrey unless specifically identified as John Charles Thomas (who recorded a few in 1914, just as his singing career was developing).

Edison discs pick up marks and rubs easily, so I’m pleased to be offering so many choice copies. There should be no sonic difference between records graded “just about 1-2” and those “2”, as well as any with “superficial” connected to the grading. The same applies to all the other recordings listed in this catalogue.

As Edison often issued multiple takes (the letters following the matrix numbers indicate the take), collectors may find comparisons of these interesting. Sometimes the different takes were made during the same session, but other times there could be months or even years separating them. Likewise the takes can be remarkably similar or noticeably different. It’s often possible to observe physically, in comparing the grooving of multiple takes, that one might be shorter or longer than another. As all are 10”, I’ve omitted the record size in listing this Edison group.

But the greatest outbursts of handclapping and shouting were given to Marie Rappold, who was in excellent voice. Her singing could be heard distinctly in all parts of the vast arena”. 3917.

GRACE HOFFMAN [s]. Schnectady, NY, 1891 – New York City, 1924. Her father was professor of philosophy at Union College in Schnectady. Grace began musical studies as a violinist. She was a graduate of Smith College, class of 1912. Her musical work was so notable that College President Seelye (see Personality 78s section) advised her to devote herself to a musical career. Upon graduating she began vocal study with Oscar Saenger in New York. She was hired by Sousa as a featured vocal soloist with his band, in which capacity she remained for two seasons. Further studies occurred with Emory B. Randolph, Romulando Sapio and Herbert Witherspoon. She subsequently appeared in a number of operatic roles with the Aborn Opera Company, as a recitalist and as a soloist in various musical festivals. She was the wife of Dr. J. Willis Amey, and subsequent to her marriage she appeared on stage only occasionally. Her family also included a son and a daughter. It is quite amazing how much she did accomplish in her short life of thirty-three years.

He was with the Paris Opéra-Comique from 1885 until his premature death, where he created for Paris, among other parts, Ford in Falstaff (1894) and Alfio in Cavalleria Rusticana.

ISMAELE VOLTOLINI [t]. Roverbella, 1887, Milan, 1938. He made his debut at the Teatro Cento in Ferrara, 1919, in Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West. Called early on the “new Caruso”, he was heard at the Dal Verme in Milan, the Naples San Carlo, in South America, 1920, and in North America, 1926-27, where his New York appearances (Canio being his debut role) were with the San Carlo Grand Opera Company at the Century Theater. He was also heard there as Manrico and Rhadames. Apparently his American tour was less than successful, the reasons suggested being repertoire too heavy for his voice and related psychological problems. His career continued until his death, a result of either a heart attack or a stroke on stage. He died shortly thereafter. 3014. 11” Green PL Italian No. 10433 [86265/86266-A].

LOLA RODRÍGUEZ DE ARAGÓN [s]. Cadiz, 1910-Pamplona, 1984. A student of Elisabeth Schumann, she began performing in Paris with composer Joaquin Turina, who considered her his Spiritual daughter.

LUISA ARDIZZONI-TOSI [s]. Plymouth, MA. ? / Boston, MA, 1964. As a young girl she was employed by the Plymouth Cordage Company. When asked to sing at a fair for the benefit of the Ryder Home for Aged People, her performance resulted in a number of prominent city residents banding together to provide tuition for her to study at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. She subsequently prepared further at the Conservatory Rossini in Bologna (Italy) and made her operatic debut in 1907 at the Castelfiorentino Teatro Comunale as Mimí in Puccini’s La Bohéme. Upon returning to America, she wed Umberto Tosi of Boston. Her husband, a few years later, was employed by Edison to work in Italy making trial recordings of singers with the possibility of making commercial recordings of their voices in mind. Tosi can be heard announcing various of these artists from the original cylinders housed at the Edison Historic Site on the Marston CD set, Edison Trials. Back to Mrs. Ardizzoni-Tosi, she and her husband and family moved to Buenos Aires in 1915 where she performed at the Teatro Colòn, returning to Boston in 1926. Her repertoire included such parts as Gilda, Nedda and Violetta. She made four recorded sides for Victor and two for Columbia around 1911 and two sides for Edison in 1926. The Edison record will be found in this catalogue in the Edison Diamond-Disc section. 2571. 10” Blk. Victor 63322. STORNELLI MARINI (Mascagni) / ALBERTO AMADI [t]. ZAZÀ: È u riso

She subsequently created roles in La forêt bleue (Red Riding Hood) (French premiere), Graziella (title role), Marcel Samuel-Rousseau's Le Hulla (Dilara) Raoul Laparra's Le joueur de viole (the young girl), Fauré's Masques et Bergamasques, Charles-Henri Maréchal's Ping-Sin (title role) and Sylvio Lazzari's Le sauteriot (Orti). Her repertoire at the Opéra-Comique also included Rosina, Micaëla, Olympia, Mélisande, Mireille, Rosenn (Le roi d'Ys), Minka (Le roi malgré lui) and Zaire (Les Indes galantes). While the Opéra-Comique was her major operatic venue, she also appeared at the Paris Opéra as well as at La Scala and in Spain and north Africa. She retired in 1940 and devoted herself to teaching. 2415. 10” Blk. acous. SR French Gram. P.381 [s20959u/s20960u]. MIREILLE: Trahir Vincent

ERIK BYE [b]. Bye entered the U.S. (from Norway) late 1921 and was heard quite often in recital. It was reported in, I believe, Musical America (an undated clipping from 1922), that Bye “made a decided hit at his first Chicago appearance in Orchestra Hall with the Norwegian Singers’ League. Herman Devries, of the Chicago American, said of him: ‘I consider Mr. Bye one of the best baritones I have heard in Chicago in many a moon.’ ” Interestingly, a clipping dated March 10, 1928 of a review by one F. Q. E. reported Mr. Bye, in a Carnegie Hall recital as “the latest to climb the ladder to tenordom.” He was “well known to radio audiences” the reviewer reported, this being the “new-fledged tenor’s” first appearance as a tenor. The results? “Mr. Bye lacks nothing in interpretative ability and expressive diction, but his vocalism bore the brunt of some strain. … Judgment in the case of these over-night metamorphoses, must inevitably be postponed until there is further opportunity to judge.” I’ve not read of subsequent opportunities provided him. His son was born in Brooklyn in 1926 and in the son’s obituary (2004, on the Internet) there is mention that the family returned to Norway when young Erik (to become a noted Norwegian journalist, artist, author, film actor, folk singer and popular radio and television personality) was of school age 2457. 10” Victor acous. 73849.

In 1916 he emigrated to Australia where he appeared in opera through 1920 and then in concert through 1931, these latter appearances mostly to showcase his students. He taught privately and at the Sydney Conservatory. His few recordings were for Beka. 3556. 10” Dk. Blue Disco “Beka” Grande 42177/42182. ERNANI: Infelice (Verdi) / O MIA BAM-

FERNANDO CARPI [t]. Firenze, 1876 – Geneva, 1959. Son of a tenor active in the 1870s-‘80s, Fernando made his debut in Lecce, 1898, as Gounod’s Faust. In addition to appearing in most of Italy’s major opera houses (strangely excepting La Scala), he was heard two seasons at the Met, as well as with the Chicago Opera, in Havana, Barcelona, Madrid, St. Petersburg, and at Covent Garden, among others. His most frequently performed role seems to have been Count Almaviva (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), although he appeared in a number of other lyric parts, at the Met these including also Rodolfo (la Boheme) and Tonio (Daughter of the Regiment). A 1917 Musical Courier magazine article mentions that he has been approached to make records in the U.S. He said he would do this later (which was never to be). “The work is not foreign to me, for I made records for the leading company in Italy, and they are said to be excellent.” He retired in 1922 and became a noted teacher. 2228. 11” Fonotipia 69167/69168 [XPh4968/XPh4965].

VERA CURTIS [s]. Bridgeport, CT, 1879 – 1962. Curtis was touted as the first American soprano to make a Met debut without European training or experience. She was with the Met from 1912 through 1920. Her teachers included George Henschel and Victor Maurel. Of Maurel, Curtis described him as “very difficult, very exacting. I have had to work so hard under him that I don’t expect to find … [actual] opera work rigorous at all”. Prior to her first Met season she had to prepare Aida, Mimì, Marguerite, Euridice, Nedda, Santuzza, Micaëla, Venus “and six other German operas, and some less well known roles in French and Italian opera as well as works in English”. As it turned out, she never appeared in any of these roles, but was rather assigned to smaller parts. She did have more prominent stage opportunities via concert tours and various music festivals. She appears to have made only one commercial record, that for Vocalion (below). 2718. 10” Brown shellac Vocalion 14566 [11219/11221]. OLD FOLKS AT HOME (Foster) / HOME,

DORIS DOREE [s]. Newark, NJ, 1909 – New York City, 1971. She studied dancing and was graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Art. She next appeared as a ballet dancer at the Radio City Music Hall. This led to the formation of her own dancing school. In 1939 she filled in for an ailing singer in a group with which she was involved as a dance instructor. The result was positive and she was accepted for a vocal scholarship at the Settlement School of Music in Philadelphia, and adjunct to the Curtis School. This led to her debut at the Met in 1942 as the Third Norn in Wagner’s Götterdämmerung, followed by Helmwige in Die Walküre. She had a longer and much more substantial career at Covent Garden, Making her debut in 1946 (I believe) as

- 48 -


the First Lady in The Magic Flute, she subsequently appeared in such roles as the Marchallin in Der Rosenkavalier, Ellen Orford in Peter Grimes, Sieglinde in Die Walküre, Aïda (this in 1949), and the Countess in Le Nozze di Figaro. She also appeared with the NYC Opera in 1945, 1946 and 1950, singing Senta (her 1945 debut role), Santuzza, and Tosca. Apparently after 1950 she appeared in concerts and local operatic pro-ductions (likely on a higher artistic level than the Aïda below) 2510. 10” Recorded Productions (London) Ltd.

1092. Two 12” LP acetate recordings (no brand) cut at 33.3 rpm of portions of Aida, dated Oct. 17, 1960 featuring Doris Doree with piano and various instruments (an incomplete Orchestra) including (apparently) beginning players and a professional oboist with piano filling in the blanks). Obviously a local opera company of some sort. The chorus could be described as enthusiastic amateurs. There’s no information given on the discs other than Doree’s name and the date. The tenor has a very bright voice and sounds as though he may have had or was aiming for a career. The other singers have their moments. Doree has an attractive top and is by far the most professional of the cast, but she sounds a bit weary in the chest voice. I’m guessing this might have taken place in the New York City area (where she lived and taught until her death in 1971). Perhaps the arts section of a period newspaper might have listed it. The enthusiastic audience applauds heartily (sounds like at least a couple of hundred clappers, no doubt mainly friends of the cast and crew). Records are gen. 2. $20.00.

ESTELLE HEARTT DREYFUS [c]. Carson City, Nevada, 1876 - ? . Her teachers included Ginevra Johnstone Bishop, Oscar Saenger, Isidore Luckstone, Felice Kashowska (in Berlin) and Mme. Max Doussett (Paris). She wed Louis Ernest Dreyfus in 1908, her second husband who was apparently more receptive of her work as a “Public Singer” than the first. Her advertisements advised that she was available for “Soiree, Recital, Concert, Oratorio”, usually in thematically presented programs. As examples, the Beverly Hills Hotel presented her in Rhymes and Rhythms of the Rommany, while The Santa Monica Bay Woman’s Club featured her in a program of Famous Figures of the Bible in Folk Song, Oratorio, Opera and Cantata (1912). In 1916 her name was featured in a Los Angeles trial of one Frank Bouthwell White on a charge of insanity. He “claimed the distinction of being in reality the Grand Duke of Meklenburg”, the second cousin of Kaiser Wilhelm. He had earlier been arrested “after he brought a sensational suit … against Mrs. Estelle Heartt Dreyfus, a music teacher. … He charged that Mrs. Dreyfus had in her possession a will bequeathing to him a big estate. He also alleged that she was witholding from him deeds, leases and other papers giving him ownership of the Beverly Hills Hotel.” Her reply was, in short, that she never met or knew of him. The result was that White “had been found guilty of insanity by the lunacy commission.” 2857. 10” Yellow acous. Hollywood Record [mat. 306/305]. AIRAM [?] (Elanduz) / LET ME SPEAK

His repertoire there included dozens of roles through the 1920s, for the first decade plus such parts as Don Ottavio, Siegmund, Lohengrin and later in his career comprimario roles in operas such as Stravinsky’s Renard, Madama Butterfly (Goro), Sigurd, and Matelot in Tristan und Isolde. He

ENRICO GIORDANI [t]. 1860 – Bologna, 1905. An exceptionally active and important comprimario arist, Giordani’s first traced performance seems to have been the creation of the role of Sgalisa in Brunetto’s Cristo di Valaperta at the Milano Teatro Lirico in 1894. In 1896 he created both the Abbé and l’Incredibile in the Scala premiere of Giordano’s Andrea Chenier in 1896, performing these two roles again at the Metropolitan Opera premiere late the same year. 1897 marked his work in the Teatro La Fenice world premiere of Leoncavallo’s La Bohème, again in two roles: Gaudenzio and Durand. Perhaps his most important creation was Spoletta in the first performance of Puccini’s Tosca, 1900. Two years later, he was the first Abbé de Chazeuil at the Milano Teatro Lirico premiere of Ciléa’s Adriana Lecouvreur. After a sudden, mysterious departure from the Met following a Feb. 6, 1905 performance of Un Ballo in Maschera, Giordani returned to his native Bologna and committed suicide.

ARTHUR HACKETT (GRANVILLE) [t]. Brother of tenor Charles Hackett and three years older, born in 1884, Arthur was a noted oratorio, church and concert artist, and appeared as a soloist in a number of U.S. summer music festivals and with various U.S. orchestras. Charles was mainly an operatic tenor so the two got along without a shred of jealousy. In the mid-1920s both Hacketts were appearing in Europe. To avoid confusion, Arthur added “Granville” to his name, but no one (including family members) seems to know where it came from. In later years he was the distinguished head of the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) voice department. Strangely, Arthur made no records in the U.S. and just this one disc for British Columbia in 1926. 2285. 10” Eng. Columbia 3887 [WA2657/WA2661]. DO NOT GO, MY LOVE (Hageman) / I LOOK

ENID HEWITT [ms]. Known as Mrs. J. Robert Hewitt in Society. Her mother was Leonora Speyer (Lady Edgar Speyer), an American poet and violinist who had played professionally “under the batons of Arthur Nikisch and Anton Seidl, among others”. She also had won a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1927 for her book, “Fiddler’s Farewell”. Enid was the first of her four daughters, Enid by Leonora’s first husband, Count von Ferdinand Stosch. After the Count died Leonora wed Louis Meredith Howland (“a member of an old New York family”). After a time they were divorced and Mrs. Howland in 1902 married Edgar Speyer, a banker who was knighted in England and a noted philanthropist and arts patron. Speyer was friends with composers such as Elgar, Grieg, Richard Strauss, Debussy and Percy Grainger. As an aside, he also owned violins (plural) by Stradivarius and Guarneri which were used by his wife in her public and private performances. Strauss dedicated his opera Salome to Speyer. Apparently Enid and the family had moved back to the U.S. at the outset of W.W. I and resided at either their country home at Lake George, NY, or a home in Newport, RI. In 1919 Enid was engaged to wed J. Robert Hewitt, a graduate of Williams College and an Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve force, hence after the wedding she became Enid Hewitt. With whom she studied voice and other details as to a career seemed to have disappeared. High Society folks of the time would take up the arts as an avocation, but no matter how talented they might be they would seldom pursue a public career. In 1929 she recorded six “Personal Record” sides for Victor, apparently as gifts for friends. They indicate a fine voice and a person with musical taste. She was residing in New York City at the time of her mother’s death in 1956. Oh, did I forget to mention that her stepfather (Edgar Speyer) had Mount Speyer in the Antarctic named after him by Robert Scott’s 1910 British Antarctic Expedition to which he donated a percentage of the cost. He also underwrote the Queens Hall Orchestra (England) and their Promenade Concerts from 1902 to 1914 while he served as Chairman of the Queen’s Hall Orchestra Concert Board.

Kittay was born in Russia but became a naturalized American. He studed at the Conservatory of Petrograd and in Milan with Amato. He emigrated to America with his mother and two sisters to small quarters at 82 Avenue B in New York City. He was described being raggedly attired although he managed to sing for some society women. Their help provided him with an audition with Gatti-Casazza on the Met stage, his audience including Pasquale Amato. The result was that Amato took him under his wing to Italy for study. Apart from a few appearances with Boston Opera and Chicago Grand Opera, Kittay’s operatic career never really got off the ground. The tenor spent much of his time singing concerts, recitals and after dinner shows, including a business convention in Elkhart, Indiana in 1926. This may not have represented the stellar stage career the young man had envisioned when he left Russia, but it was certainly preferable to starving in the streets of New York. By 1925, Kittay had settled in Chicago where he accepted a position as cantor at Congregation Rodfei Zedek in the city’s Hyde Park neighborhood. Chazzan Kittay remained at the synagogue for over a quarter century and passed away in 1965. Dead Tenors Society (Internet).

CHARLES KULLMAN [t]. New Haven, CT, 1903 – New Haven, CT, 1983. A graduate of Yale, Kullman studied at Juilliard and in France at the Fontainebleau School of Music with Mme. Schoen-René and Frances Rogers. He subsequently toured Europe as a soloist with the Yale Glee Club. His operatic debut was in 1929 with the touring American Opera Company managed by Vladimir Rosing. With this company he created the role of Amaury in the world premiere of Clarence Loomis’s now forgotten opera, Yolanda of Cyprus, in Oct., 1929. In addition to standard operatic repertoire Kullman appeared in operetta and at Smith College in an unidentified Händel opera. 1931 marked his Berlin State Opera debut as Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly. After the first act he received seven curtain calls, leading to remarkable success in Germany. Because of the political climate, Kullman left Germany in 1935 and was immediately welcomed by the Met where he remained 25 seasons. His last two years were in smaller, secondary parts. I recall him after a performance as Goro in Madama Butterfly around 1959, edging his way unnoticed through the crowd that had gathered at the Met stage door to cheer Leontyne Price. He kindly signed my program. 2840. 10” PW German Columbia DW.3014 [C-WR239/C-WR240]. DAS LIED DER LIEBE: Die eine

He was a creator in the in the 1925 La Scala world premiere but various tensions between the tenor, the composer and the conductor (Toscanini) caused Lazaro to announce to Giordano after the final performance of the preliminary run (15 Jan. 1925), that he would not sing again in the opera as it was ‘terrible on the throat’. This thoroughly annoyed the composer and, as a result, Lazaro alleges, that through Giordano’s malice, which spread to the (publishing) house of Riccordi, he was allowed to sing only a few more times in the great Italian opera houses.” [information from The Record Collector, Vol, 16, Nos. 3-4]. This recording was made in Milan in Oct. of 1926. It would seem that either Giordano or Riccordi prevented its distribution as I know of only one extant copy, this which is listed here, although it was assigned three different catalogue numbers: D14669, D18009 and RS5561. It would be interesting to know if other copies have survived. Few harmless lt. mks., 2. $350.00.

MISCHA LÉON [t]. 1889?-1926. An interesting personality, Léon was born in either Minnesota according to some souces or (more likely) on a boat sailing from Petrograd to Copenhagen, the latter where he was apparently raised and first studied. Someplace along the line he also supposedly earned a PhD degree. His wife was the noted Canadian soprano, Pauline Donalda. His first success in the U.S. was taking the leading tenor role in composer Homer Moore’s American opera, Louis XIV in St Louis, replacing an unprepared (and according to at least one report also inebriated) Florencio Constantino for the second performance. Supposedly Léon learned the role in two days and was a great success (even if the opera wasn’t). In addition to American and European operatic work, he was a popular recitalist. 2323. 10” Victor 69672. LIDEN KAREN (Heise) / VUG-

MAXIMILIAN KARLOVICH MAKSAKOV [b]. 1869-1936. Maksakov was “dramatic baritone whose power was impressive,” and “who began his career in Café chantant. After studying with Everardi for a long period, he became a successful singer and then an operatic impresario. His voice was enormous and full-bodied but unfortunately it lacked grandeur and charm.

Her film debut was in 1913 and she continued in that mileau until 1976, also appearing on television and with the Comédie Française.

WILLIAM MARTIN [t]. Lowell, MA, 1898 - ? . Martin studied voice with Leveret Merrill and Florence Holtzmann and had been a soloist with the Yale Glee Club (one source indicates it was the Harvard Glee Club) when the organization made a tour of France in 1922. Martin was heard by the Opéra-Comique management and was given a contract there to sing the title role in Massenet’s Werther the following year, although he had yet to appear on an operatic stage. His debut was extremely successful and he subsequently sang there Cavaradossi, Rodolfo and Pinkerton. He then appeared elsewhere in France, finally being invited to sing at the Paris Opéra. Interestingly, he was, as a foreigner, not allowed to create any roles there, although he gave the second and subsequent performances of Huë’s Le Miracle, with Georges Thill singing the premiere only. It was the same situation with the Paris premiere of Turandot, which Martin had prepared. Evidently Thill, however, found the tenor role in this opera more congenial and decided to sing all fifteen performances. Martin had success in Italy, Switzerland and England as well and was supposedly also offered a contract by the Metropolitan Opera. However he voluntarily retired from the stage after a few years and returned to Massachusetts to care for his invalid wife, supporting himself on an inheritance. He did reappear, this time with the Chicago Opera the seasons of 1935-37. On 1 April 1937 he created the role of Amelia’s lover in the world premiere of Gian-Carlo Menotti’s Amelia Goes to the Ball at the Philadelphia Academy of Music. He was alive in the 1960s and living in Lowell, MA, although what became of him, his wife, and whether or not he ever sang again would be an interesting mystery to solve. He made only two records, these in 1926 for British Columbia. 2446. 10” Blue elec. Eng. Columbia D1561 [WA2890/WA2891]. I HEAR A THRUSH AT EVE (Cad-

FLORENCE METZGER [ms]. The Victor file for this Personal Recording (dated Feb. 14, 1913) simply lists the artist as “Mrs. Metzger” (etched in the disc as “Mrs. Metzgar”). This would seem likely to be Florence Metzger, who had been a member of the Metropolitan Opera School in 1905 and who appeared as a Flower Maiden in a Met touring performance of Parsifal in Chicago, March 23, 1905. She is also listed as a member of the Met Opera School in a gala performance of Die Fledermaus on Feb. 16, 1905 and probably in the repeat performances as well, although the information doesn’t indicate what the school had to do specifically with the performance. Mrs. Metzger on this record is obviously a well trained and very capable singer. 2015. 12” White lbl. Victor Sample Record, mat. C-12915. JEANNE D’ARC: Adieu, forêts (Tschai-

ANGELO MINGHETTI [t]. Bologna, 1889-Milano, 1957. Minghetti was originally a successful sculptor. While making a bust of “one of Italy’s famous tenors” he was humming and singing to himself while the subject was posing. The singer believed that Minghetti had “great possibilities” as an operatic tenor. To please him, Minghetti went to the teacher the singer recommended who was equally enthusiastic. After vocal studies and role preparation, Minghetti made his debut in Como as Turiddu. He served in the Italian Army 1916-18 and returned to the stage at the Pergola Theater in Firenze. His career rapidly developed and included the Palermo Teatro Massimo, the Rome Costanzi and Milano’s La Scala. South America followed and in 1922 the Chicago Opera. In 1924 he appeared in Newark, NJ, (among other post-Chicago Season stops) as the Duke in Rigoletto with soprano Louise (Lulu) Hayes, who had recorded with Battistini in 1921, and baritone Alfredo Gandolfi. His career continued well into the 1930s. He likely then returned to sculpture. 2679. 10” Red elec. PW HMV DA 800 [Bb8525-III/Bb8543-III]. RIGOLETTO: La donna è mobile /

ALESSANDRO MORESCHI [castrato]. 1855-1922. “Moreschi was the last castrato singer, the sole remaining specimen of a great line that flourished as early as the 16th century and that came to fruition in the 18th century. By the time Alessandro Moreschi joined the Vatican Choir, castrati were employed only by the church – as they had been as early as the 15th century. … Their vogue [in opera] died out around 1840. The newer composers – Verdi, Wagner and the others – were not interested in writing for them.” – from NY Times article by Harold C. Schonberg. 2456. 10” Blk. GP ’04 Victor 61115 [2183h].

LOUIS MORRISSON [t]. Antwerp, 1888 – Antwerp, 1934. Studying in Brussels first composition and then as an organist, Morrisson’s voice was recognized by a well-known Belgian tenor at the time, Désiré Pauweis. After a period of study, he made his opera debut in 1909 as Manrico at the Rembrandt Theater, Holland. In 1910 he was first heard at the Royal Flemish Opera in Antwerp. A 1914 season with the Chicago Opera was cancelled as a result of World War I. 1919 marked a tour of England and 1921 a debut with the Thêátre Gaité Lyrique in Paris as Eleazar in Halévy’s La Juive, to become a part he sang over 1200 times. He then was heard at both the Paris Opéra and Opéra-Comique. He was also successful in operetta, particularly in Lehár’s Land of Smiles. 2687. 10” PW Blk. elec. HMV AT 14 [Bb9916-I/Bb9918-II].

Studying voice as a teenager, Renan “started a promising career as a crooner and folk singer.” … Hoping for more serious work, he trained with Eleanor McLellan and John Daggett Howell. He made his NYC Opera debut in the company’s inaugural performance, Tosca (Feb. 21, 1944). As the Sacristan he was the first person seen on stage that opening night. In addition to 32 buffo and character roles performed there between 1944 and 1959, “he took on scores more in opera houses and summer stock productions of favorite Broadway musicals across the country.” – NY Times Obit., 1-7-2002. 2777. 10” Orange Columbia 35742 [co28670-1/co28671-1].

GRACE RICHARDS [s]. One Grace Richards (Montclair, NJ, 1870 – Sept. 28, 1955) had an interesting career. She was a graduate of the Metropolitan N.Y. College of Music in 1892. After a period in Hawaii, she studied with Sbriglia in Paris and later with Lilli Lehmann in Berlin. “She also became the friend of Johannes Brahms, who coached her in his songs.” In 1905 she toured Europe with Jan Kubelik. She also appeared with Schumann-Heink and other artists, changing her name to Gracia Ricardo, “a practice customary for singers at that time.” Her accompanist here, Florence Wessell, was a noted voice teacher and coach in New York, so whether this is the Grace Richards described above or another singer with the same name I can’t say. “Our” Grace Richards would have been about 55 at the time this recording was made, certainly not an impossibly late age. Perhaps a collector reading this might have the answer? – Internet information.

RAOUL ROMITO [t]. A Dec. 13, 1911 clipping (probably from Musical America) regarding a Boston Opera Sunday night concert three days earlier mentions the debut of Raoul Ramido [sic], who Boston Opera Impresario Henry Russell supposedly discovered as a Neapolitan fisherman. He sang “Che gelida manina” from La Bohème that evening, the unidentified reviewer advising that “the great things that Mr. Russell predicts for his find may not be far amiss”. Another clipping, from later in the season, advises Mr. Russell’s discovery from Leghorn (spelled “Romita” here) “possesses a wonderful voice which promises to vie with that of Caruso”. However, he appears to have sung only one performance of one role, Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana the two seasons (1911-13) he appeared on the Boston Opera roster. He was to make his American mark, however, as a singer of Italian popular and folk music. 2856. 10” Green Viva-Tonal Columbia 14312-F [W108200-2/W108201-2]. EVVIVA NOÈ (compo-

MILA THEREN [s]. 1872 – Vienna, 1946. A pupil of Selma Nicklass-Kempner, Theren (born Camilla Eugenia Goldschmidt) made her stage debut in Olmütz, 1892. She apparently both acted and sang, eventually devoting herself entirely to the operetta stage by 1902 when she was a leading artist on the roster of the Theater an der Wien. According to Wikipedia, she married in 1903 and retired from the stage. However, her records date from 1904-1905 and there are photos of her in stage roles through 1906. My searching wasn’t in depth, but I spotted no stage activity for her after 1906. 2443. 10” Blk. Wien G&T 43685 [6559b]. GASPARONE: Lied der Sora (Millöcker). Bright label.

ROSINA TORRI [s]. Parma, 1898 – Milan, 1975. Torri was a violin student at the Parma Conservatory, subsequently switching to voice. Her career was primarily in the 1920s, beginning in 1919 at the Teatro Sociale of Valenza as Mimí in La Bohéme. She was a noted Puccini soprano, particularly as Mimí and Musetta (her 1924 La Scala debut role) as well as Liú (which she sang at the Rome Opera premiere of Turandot in 1926) and Madama Butterfly. In addition to a number of Italian theaters, Torri appeared in San Francisco, 1925, and Covent Garden in 1926, here again as Musetta. She appears to have retired subsequent to having married composer Stafano Vittadini in 1930. 2954. 10” Plum elec. Disque Gram. K-5334 [Bk1959-III/

UNKNOWN BARITONE. This is a pressing made by Columbia probably in the 1937-39 period but I have no way of tracing the matrix numbers. The labels are plain white and there is a penciled note in the sleeve with the titles (misspelled). Also on that slip is what looks like “Mary Sommerville” (definitely not the singer!) and in a different hand ’37, ’38 or ’39 which I assume is an indication of the recording date (to which I agree). It’s a singer comfortable in French (side one) and German (side two) with a bright top. 2554. 10” White lbl. Columbia mat. p19283/p19284. LAMENTO PROVENÇALE (Paladilhe) / PRO-

From 1925 to 1930 he was principal tenor of the Brussels Théâtre de la Monnaie, creating for that house the principal tenor roles in Turandot and Ariadne auf Naxos. From 1930-35 he was a guest in several French houses, including Marseille, Nice and Toulouse. He also appeared in Monte Carlo, creating there the role of Pedro in d’Albert’s Tiefland. From 1935 to 1942 he was again at la Monnaie where he sang with huge success. In 1942 he retired, working in Brussels as a voice teacher until 1962. His wide repertoire included principal tenor roles in Die Walküre, Aida, Pagliacci, Tosca, Samson, Il Trovatore and many other works, today both familiar and forgotten.

His first appearance in the U.S. was in New York’s Aeolian Hall in 1916. He studied in the U.S. with Sigismond Stojowski and then Dohnányi, despite the fact that Dohnányi, had “such a dislike for child prodigies that he refused to take anyone into his class who was under the age of eighteen”. Levitzki was a 14 year old exception. Levitzki then made extended European and American tours. His death was the result of a heart attack at the age of 42.

A Bahamian-American entertainer, one of the pre-eminent stars of the Vaudeville era and one of the most popular comedians for all audiences of his time. Williams was the first Black American to take a leading role on the Broadway stage, and did much to push back racial barriers during his three-decade-long career. Fellow vaudevillaim W. C.

LUDWIG WÜLLNER [actor; lieder singer]. Münster, 1858-Kiel, 1938. His remarkable career included

earning a PhD, being a private lecturer in Germanic languages at the academy in Münster, studying music as the Cologne Conservatory, becoming a choir director, studying singing and becoming an actor, particularly of heroic parts. He gave a song recital in Berlin to such acclaim that he decided to devote himself mainly to Lieder (although he did make operatic appearances). This led to sensational success as a concert singer, touring the U.S. (1908-09 and again in 1909-10) and much of Europe. “His peculiar distinction was his ability to give an actor’s impersonation of the character of each song.” –Wikipedia and encyclopedia.com. 3217. 12” Yellow acous.
