The sound film was developed in the 1920s. One of the first significant breakthroughs was the film “The Jazz Singer”, which was released by Warner Bros. in 1927. Why was this important audio recording not filmed?

If the FULL broadcast were listened to, it would become more apparent why there was no film. It was simply an advertisement radio broadcast paid for by General Motors in which the President of General Motors spoke during the intermission of both broadcasts. While its historic importance seemed to have been realized on some level at the time, it apparently wasn't enough for the expense of it being filmed to be taken on. I'm sure even a few years later if they could have gone back they'd have done so.

Another example of Richard Tucker's beautiful voice with a song that showcases it to perfection. Thank you for posting it and giving those of us who have never heard the recording before, tremendous pleasure.

I am so thankful for the Voice of Firestone and the Bell Telephone hour and Ed Sullivan for recording so many of these artists for us. (Yes, the audiences of the time were the principle reason, but we also benefit.)

I really like this rendition. Schmidt sings within his range, especially in the upper register. He brings great charm to the role. Grace Moore is a well-suited Mimi and is one of the best I have heard in this role. The one thing that I'm not so satisfied about is the two lovers going for the high note at the end of the duet. This is normal practice but when compered with the De Los Angeles/Bjorling duet ending, under Beecham, where the tenor doesn't compete with the soprano, the contrast is stark and as Pucinni intended.

My first opera ( in 1955 when I was in middle school in San Diego) was Gounod's "Faust" with Albanese Jan Peerce, Cesare Siepi and Cornell MacNeil (sic!) as Valentin. (San Francisco Opera's Southern California tour to Ten years later I saw Richard Tucker for the first time as Andrea Chenier with RenataTebaldi as Maddalena and Ettore Bastianini as Gerard at San Francisco Opera's War Memorial Opera HOuse. (Bastianini was only a year or so from his death from cancer.) This clip from the party long ago is of great significance to me!.

Presuming this to be the broadcast, it was plush casting that afternoon. Kirsten, Bastianini and Siepi ! Tucker here is indeed solid, singing with exemplary legato and in his absolute prime. He would have been about 42 here.

The video with Sereni? KZbin removed it and placed a strike against my account. Apparently the copyright holder wishes to exercise their right to remove a 70 year old video that nobody else will ever see. Ridiculous I know.

@@VinylToVideo Yes, I understand what the situation is. But I'm willing to buy it because I love the video so much. Maybe it's considered to be part of a video tape from VAI, but it's useless to buy it because I don't have a playback device. So if you sell the video at a reasonable price I'm willing to buy it, and if you have the full video of the tape, I'd like to buy it as well. I think it's better to talk about these stories by email than KZbin comments, so I'd like to talk even if you let me know the available email.

The rather strange, reedy, oboe timbre of Schipa's voice is so compelling - utterly like no other tenor and deeply satisfying - and his phrasing and diction are so elegant.

I've always thought Schipa was oboe like, but there are overtones of viola and undertones of cello. With some English horn on occasion.
