Robust! He takes a few liberties - but I like the cut of his jib

Thank you very much! This is one of the very best recording of Nabucco’s aria.

not bad

One of the Great French Basses.

Born in Greece 1897 died in London in 1949, a Tenor who should have had a much better career, sang mostly in Germany in the Twenties and Thirties, but found the strain of living under the Nazi's very difficult and in WW2 suffered great privations, he came to London, where he had appeared in a couple of BBC Concerts of German Opera Singers in 1931 and 1932, also sang at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, but after the war he left Germany and was in a very poor state, impoverished, Homeless, and virtually destitute, health failing he passed away in 1949. I find his voice quite beautiful, but he was better known for his German repertoire in the Thirties, sang in Berlin,, Hamburg, Vienna, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Amsterdam,, Hilversum, Brussels, Dresden, Leipzig and Weimar, he did sing in Italy, but was really not taken by the Italians at all, he was rather fond of the Ladies and he upset some powerful Italian Impressario's with his affairs, he moved to Germany quickly, to avoid trouble, he did sing for Mascagni in Germany. His recordings have become rather rare,, there are also tapes of his voice live in German Houses and he is on Film as well. diolch yn fawr i chi, Prynhawn da.

she was born to sing this

This Amato disc has eluded me since I started collecting. It is, in my opinion, the best (and most complete) recording of the aria in Victor's acoustic catalog.

Cantante Orgullosamente mexicana, y duranguense ❤

Found this record today

Son of a famous tenor who died young. Only a black label artiste back then. He'd be a big name now.

Are we certain that this was recorded in the mid 1890s? Allegedly he made his first recording of the song in 1889

you calmly and casually put on the RING OF ORBS NOFOLD.

Leon Cavallo?

Wow! I thought the 1907 Pagliacci was the first complete opera set on acoustic 78s, but this pre-dates it! Fascinating, and surprisingly comprehensible sound for its great age.

An interesting recording. Haven't heard Gaetano Romboli before. Very good. Mrs. Rosa Larsen

Easily one of the best interpretations of this excerpt. So ominous!

Possibly one of the few airs of the time that wasn’t truncated and/or recorded on a rush 😂

Only nutty woke leftosts. She also did a nondialect 1929 conventional 78 for Edison. (Edison called these NEEDLE records.) She also did a vocal trfrain in a fox.trot dance version for Columbia in 1927. The other versions also pn KZbin. DeLeath was also a pioneer radio 📻 star.

Again and again I‘m astonished at how many noteworthy singers 🌹🌹🌹 are at least close to being forgotten in our day… Thank you for sharing this rewarding and impressive recording! 🙏🍀 And so many more… 🌟

Could well be Ettore Brancaleoni, with a groove skip obscuring the first two syllables.

Beautiful performance by one of America’s very finest tenors. Some minor catches in the middle-upper range, probably evidence of the damage his voice sustained singing the notoriously difficult DieTote Stadt earlier.

Thank you so much for sharing all those gems

Aiy! hits me deep in the gut. i love this...i did not notice its from Hamlet! no wonder...

thank you!

you can see how musicals, at their best, derive from opera...at their best...

what a gorgeous melody both the vocal and the orchestration...

wow. thank you! i dont know the singer or the aria, but now it do and will look further. one of the good things on line...

❤😂 Super!!! Vielen Dank aus Thalfang, Hunsrück 😊

Thank you for uploading so many Phonodisc Mondial sides. I wonder if anyone knows where, exactly, they were recorded? The orchestrations are very different from the ones being used at the same time by the Gramophone Company or Fonotipia - much fuller, especially in the mid-range instruments, with high lines often doubled in lower registers. And while I haven't listened carefully to all of them, it might be 100% "banda" with no strings at all. At a guess, it sounds like a large band recorded in a large space at a greater distance from the recording horn. It must have been incredibly loud heard in reality - no wonder the singers tend to do everything in a hearty forte. I'm guessing Maestro Martucci felt that overall sonic impact was the way his products could stand out in the market. Acerbi must have had incredible stamina to turn out one aria after another like this.

Many thanks for this remarkable curiosity!

Lovely phrasing! Vive Massenet !

Most all our worldly troubles Are only drifting bubbles Most all our cares and sorrows Are gone with our tomorrows So don't you let them fret you Or some day they will get you When skies are gray stop work and play And laugh your cares away CHORUS Just smile and swing along The while you sing a song Your troubles fade away When you are gay If all your cares appear As dark as night You'll find it won't be long With just a song, they'll be alright And when you're feeling blue And so unhappy too When all your skies are gray And shadows fall Things are not what they seem You'll find them just a dream If you will sing a song Swing along too. Just turn your tears to laughter And joy will follow after If May days you remember You'll soon forget December Instead of asking pity Just say you're sitting pretty Then you will see that life will be A wondrous melody CHORUS Just smile and swing along The while you sing a song Your troubles fade away When you are gay If all your cares appear As dark as night You'll find it won't be long With just a song, they'll be alright And when you're feeling blue And so unhappy too When all your skies are gray And shadows fall Things are not what they seem You'll find them just a dream If you will sing a song Swing along too.

It's a beautiful singing!

This is relatable. I just hate getting up in general... nice song by the way

Romain Carbelly, baritone n'a jamais chanté Méphisto à l'Opéra de Paris, seulement Valentin, et en 1922...Son timbre est trop clair, il ne produit que peu d'impression. Merci, mais c'est seulement une gravure faite uniquement pour alimenter un catalogue. Romain Carbelly, baritone never sang Méphisto at the Paris Opera, only Valentin, and in 1922... The stamp is too clear, it produces little print. Thank you, but this is only an engraving made solely to feed a catalogue.

Très bon ténor, à la voix flexible et sensible, qui passe bien au disque, belle découverte, merci

What a fabulous song. Charlie did some beautiful pieces. I love his style of music.

Like the other side, this is sung by Romain Carbelly, credited on the Eden label and in the January 1907 advertisement that announces the original issue. Recorded in 1906.

On Disque Eden, the singer IS credited: Romain Carbelly (22.7.1877 - after 1931)

❤great found🎉

On the second half of side, two of the recordings present above is one of the most glorious duets in all of grand opera. Make sure that you hear that final duet! It is memorable! Many thanks to the poster.

matrix comes from Lyrophon

Could this not be Maria Martucci?

That one sound in K1:

What a treat to be able to hear Louisa’s sister on this super rare recording. I’ve collected operatic recordings for over 70 years and never laid hands on an Elvira recording. Many thanks to the poster.

Hi....do you have any history on this singer please? Where was the recording discovered? She is somehow linked to my wife's family history. Much appreciated

Je continue à penser que si Hergé n était pas passé dans le coin,cet opéra et cet aria seraient un peu tombés dans l oubli,
