Thank you for your kind comment, Fermin Guerra Tello. Unfortunately the personnel is unknown except that Bill Coty is the vocalist. Pleased you enjoyed this.

@@expertsenior6262 Oh Yeah Of Course This Is Enjoyable , But It's A Dissapoint That Have No Exists More Versions From This Songs , What A Nice Composition !

Thank you, Bigfoot Mangiacavallo, for your kind comment and queries. I use a specialist-built valve pre-amp with controls capable of variable equalisation for all types of acoustically and electrically recorded discs, laterally or vertically cut. In addition, the facilities of two record recording and re-mastering computer programs are employed and used judicially according to the nature of the type of input signal. If it sounds right, then the settings must be correct. i also have a belt-driven variable-speed transcription turntable (with digital speed read-out) which takes records up to 16 inches in diameter, using Stanton 500 series cartridges with ten different elliptical diamond stylus sizes. The LP record played is pressed on a form of vinyl called "Victrolac" with narrower groove spacing and a speed of 33⅓ rpm. As far as I remember it was played with a 2-thou stylus. The only noise reduction was very slight high-frequency "Click and crackle" removal . As you can see from my other videos I also use, on certain shellac discs, a 1935 Expert Senior acoustic gramophone that one listener said "sounds better than my stereo".

@@expertsenior6262 Wow! You are really into this in a big way. Best of all, you've combined the science with sensitive, acute hearing, to extract the best out of these precious documents from the past. Bravo!

Thank you once again, Bigfoot Mangiacavallo, for your kind comment. It amazes me how well the recordings of the past can sound with proper playback and remastering -- dispelling once and for all the description "scratchy old 78s" (and 1931 LPs!). There is no reason why they can't sound marvellous.

Thank you for your kind comment which is much appreciated. My friend Michael has tried to minimise the somewhat fierce recording, particularly at the beginning. More videos, mainly from my Expert Senior gramophone, on my channel and on Antique Phonograph Enthusiasts forum.

Thank you for your comment. All singers' voices unfortunately deteriorate to a certain extent as they age. It is an accepted fact that Tagliavini did not continue successfully as long as others in opera because he strained his voice performing heavier rôles. However, he did continue in recitals and radio and eventually television, where especially in the latter his discomfort when reaching top notes is plainly visible. That lovely velvety tone evident in "Musica proibita" is no longer apparent. His later recording of this composition shows this in comparison.

@@expertsenior6262 Thank you for your reply. I see your point but I have to disagree about Tagliavini.. I had the privilege of meeting him late in his career and attending rehearsals of his performances here in phila. His voice was still very beautiful but had taken on a lovely darker quality. He had great success in those performances,. The mezzo voce was still awesome. What heavier roles had he taken on? I can't think of any. He told me that WERTHER was his favorite role which surprised me.

Agreed. Tagliavini's voice undoubtedly changed with age but never ever was it ruined. Thank god for Tagliavini and Fonit Cetra for all those great recordings which give me, too young to remember him at his prime, great pleasure on an almost daily basis!

I wasn't trying to compete - I've recently acquired these records and wanted to share them my particular way.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying you were competing, it's just nice to have a different restoration to listen to.

Thank you for your comment. It's the first one I've seen in 50 years of collecting; and then I had to buy it from America. Hope you can eventually find one.

Hi this is my second account. I just found a 12 inch program transcription at the record store for 50 cents

Thank you for your comment and query, Direct78 Broadcast. As far as is known, this title was not issued on Blue Amberol cylinder.

Never -- wax clogs the grooves. I use a dedicated cleaning fluid with a professional cleaning machine. Thank you for your query.

Muchas gracias por tu amable comentario. Satisfecho te ha gustado la grabación. Más a seguir finalmente.
