0:36 "I'm standing in front of some strange tuba and think that my voice is going to separate from me and go somewhere into world without me, its owner. Funny ideas people have. Truly, it's hard to not laugh at that weird situation that suddenly the voice of Mr Piłsudski will be in."

Weird historical fact. Actor Edwin Booth, brother of Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth, saved Lincoln’s son Robert from being crushed by a train during the civil war.

[@hughcorston9645]

Weird with a dash of irony.

[@QuarrellaDeVil]

Robert Todd Lincoln was also "nearby" when not only his father was assassinated, of course, but also when assassins came for James A. Garfield and William McKinley. He begged off on later presidential invitations, although he was at the 1922 dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, and a photo exists of him with Supreme Court Chief Justice William Howard Taft and President Warren G. Harding, who would die in 1923 (while Taft lived until 1930). Interesting coincidences, nothing more.

[@l4uveys]

Im shook

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

Dave Martin His brother should have looked up to him.

[@ErisRising]

@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial Indeed, the Civil War was literally "Brother vs. Brother" in the Booth household, with John being ardently pro-Confederate, and Edwin supporting the Union. There's a bit of a melancholy tale involved here when in later years, Edwin Booth was at a party with his fellow actors, and noticed a sculpture of a pair of hands on a nearby mantle. He picked them up to admire them, and asked if anyone knew whose hands they were. When he was told "Lincoln," he reverently put them back, and walked away.

[@robertluna3]

The first photo used for Edwin Booth is actually one of his, arguably more infamous brother, John Wilkes Booth.

[@IAmJimRetzer]

Yes; that is definitely a photo of John Wilkes instead of Edwin. They probably stuck it in to let you know that Edwin was the elder, more famous brother of John.

At 2:21 was Edwin Booth. Edwin was the brother of the guy that killed Abraham Lincoln. Amazingly, Edwin had saved Lincoln's son from dieing shortly before Lincoln was killed.

We all have seen these faces throughout our lives and never knew what sound came from that historical figure. To imagine being in the audience as either Teddy Roosevelt or William McKinley were speaking is mind boggling.

[@cypriantubefun]

Prometheus Arts it’s called “Les Toreadors” from Carmen Suite No.1

[@CataclysmicStar]

These recordings aren't necessarily true-to-life; unlike modern recording, which has nearly perfected the ability to record sound at a speed and consistency that ensures it's almost identical to what your ears hear normally, recordings back then were not consistent in how fast the person operating the machine recorded, nor in how fast they were played back. There is every possibility that a difference in recording or playback speed left this pitched higher than his actual voice - but I find it more interesting to believe this was truly how he sounded, as it challenges our initial ideas about these historical figures based on stories and on their lives. :)

[@irvineirvington1899]

finally classical nerds you hear Brahms' voice

[@maikebaier8004]

Freuds voice sounds SO different then I expected

[@alexcello1981]

this is not the voice of Brahms, but the voice of Theodor Wangemann, assistant of Edison, who conducted the recording: "Dezember Achtzehnhundertachtundneunzig. Haus von Herrn Doktor Fellinger, bei mir ist Doktor Brahms, Johannes Brahms"

[@MFvanBylandt]

He made the same mistake with the Gladstone recording in the first video.

[@alexismcloughlin5383]

Tom Berenger really nailed Teddy Roosevelt's voice in the Rough Riders Mini Series.

[@theagilespitfire3141]

Roosevelt’s voice sounds like the narrators of 1920-1970s reel movies

I believe higher pitched voices carried greater distances than lower pitched in the time before microphones. I have read that Lincoln had a very high squeaky voice. Also the photo of Edwin booth is actually brother John Wilkes

[@jeremiahrowesr.3130]

In the first video they had something to record voices in 1859 so I'm very surprised that they didn't recording Lincoln's voice.

Edwin Booth quoting Othello's monologue before the senate of Venice, goes to show what racism was like back then. That is, if he was actually performing it for an audience, or he just used that bit of text for that particular voice recording.

That Brahms voice actually is not Brahms. It's Dr. Fellinger who recorded Brahms playing the piano, the recording is still on KZbin if you want to search for it, you can hear Brahms play one of his Hungarian dances on the piano but you will have hard time hearing anything.

The earliest recordings voices are obviously warped as the equipment could only capture just so much. When you hear Caruso sing it made his voice sound very high and weak which it most likely wasn't.
