4 out of 5 stars gigli in his prime.......2001-04-21

Gigli went to US in 1920, having made some tonally beautiful but poorly acted acoustics for 'HMV'. Linking to his appearance at the Met, 'Victor' began a long association of recordings both acoustic & electric, and this album from Romophone is the 1st of 3 dealing with this period. Gigli's tone developed to its full during these recs, parallel with some intrusive bad vocal habits - nobody needs to use aspirates at all, and certainly not to the degree of Gigli. The mix on the album balances opera & song. He was one of the best interpreters of Neapolitan songs, having a more ringing style than Schipa and a more affectionate style than Corelli; perhaps di Stefano was a natural successor? On several tracks he has magnificent partners (e.g. Rethberg, Pinza). Some alternative takes are offered, which provide little extra knowledge about the singers, but make things complete. In summary: attractively toned, Italianate singing, if you can ignore his bad habits. The Obert-Thorn transfers are clear, but can sound oversharp with clinical-sounding hardware plus silver-based cabling.

    5 out of 5 stars Captivating Performances, Great Singer Indeed.......2000-05-05

    The Edison recordings were made when Claudia Muzio was in her absolute prime. They catches her voice at its freshest. Yet, I find myself hardly prepared for such wonderful artistry and interpretative insights. Muzio's timeless singing has left indelible memories on all who heard her either in person or on records and she had a great influence on Maria Callas, her successor. Indeed, Maria Callas owed a lot to her great predecessor. Ward Marston reproduced the recordings with real affection and Muzio's unique voice rings out with arresting immediacy. This is a set that should find an exalted place in every opera lover's collection.

    5 out of 5 stars engineering marvel revives lost art.......1999-03-04

    I am amazed to be able to hear the artistry of Claudia Muzio on CD. For those who have only heard artists from the turn of the century on wind up 78s the loving care with which these treasures have been restored with is truely a revelation. The singers of Muzios era were great storytellers of passion and expression. Muzios voice is delivered with simplicity of tone and accuracy of vowel. Her grace in phrasing must have influenced Tebaldi.

    5 out of 5 stars A fitting tribute to a too little-known artist.......1999-11-28

    Today the name of Frances Alda is remembered mainly as having collaborated on several Caruso discs, but she was a fine singer in her own right, as this excellent Romophone set proves.

    Alda was a student of the celebrated Mathilde Marchesi, who also taught Nellie Melba. Indeed, at Alda's audition, Marchesi told her husband, "Salvatore, I have found the new Melba!" Alda was in fact good enough to present a threat to the more established diva, who insisted that Oscar Hammerstein chose between the two of them: "Either Alda or Myself!" runs the famous telegram.

    Mme. Alda was one of the most colorful operatic personalities of the early twentieth century. She was married to Giulio Gatti-Cassazza, head of the Met at the time, but she did not abuse her influence as a more capricious diva might have. She had a dry, caustic wit, as evidenced in her autobiography, "Men, Women, and Tenors" (a thoroughly enjoyable read, by the way).

    These recordings present the voice behind the legend, and an excellent voice it is, too. A lyric soprano of substantial weight, she was careful to remain well inside the lyric fach, venturing only a single Aida as an experiment. Her favorite role was Mimi, and it shows: her two arias from "La Boheme" are magical. Her high notes glitter, and the low range is full and round. The voice is even throughout the registers, a hallmark of the Marchesi school.

    The transfers, as on all Romophone editions, are expertly done, allowing the voice to come through with added freshness and clarity. A wonderful set, one of the best of the series.
