One of the best Caruso record - this is the 1932 "Re-creation" from 1916 original and certainly one of the best result from the process. It sounds so incredible on this machine. Thanks!

Thank you for your kind comments. EMG gramophones were and still are considered to be the finest acoustic record reproduction instruments ever built. There is no electrical alteration of the original performance recorded on the disc---wind-up spring motor---mechanical soundbox---exponential sound trunking etc. The combination of all these factors which were very carefully and scientifically designed by men of great genius in the nineteen thirties results in a "holographic" and very pure sound.

Thank you very much for the upload. Fortunately, on your player the disc is running at correct speed and pitch (some other transfers on KZbin are severely distorted because of wrong speed).

[@grahamrankin]

Many thanks for your appreciation.

Lieber Herr Rankin ! Heute Abend bin ich auf ihre wunderbaren und einzigartigen Aufnahmen gestossen. Seit fast 60 Jahren höre ich besonders gerne historische Gesangsstimmen. Meine Favoriten/innen Enrico Caruso, Richard Tauber, Jussi Björling, John McCormack, Joseph Schmidt, Mario Lanza, Benjamino Gigli, Fedor Schaljapin, Rosa Ponselle, Maria Callas, Lotte Lehmann, um nur einige besondere Lieblinge zu nennen. Auch Rudolf Schock gehört in erster Linie dazu, denn er hat mich mit 7 Jahren durch seine Aufnahmen zu Klassik geführt. Nun mein persönlicher Wunsch: wäre es möglich auf Ihrer einzigartigen Trichteranlage das Kirschenduett aus der Oper „L‘Amico Fritz“ von Pietro Mascagni mit Rudolf Schock und Joan Hammond, London vom 8. Mai 1950 wieder zu geben ? Ich wäre Ihnen sehr, sehr dankbar dafür. Nochmals ganz lieben Dank für die grossartigen Aufnahmen, die ich von ganzem Herzen mit „neuen“ Ohren gelauscht und genossen habe und zwar bis weit nach Mitternacht (es ist jetzt fast zwei Uhr nachts 😊❤️). Mit ganz herzlichen Grüssen aus der Schweiz !!!!

Dear Herr Zimmermann. Thank you so much for your interesting comment and appreciation for which I am most grateful. Unfortunately I do not have the recording you wish to hear but have instituted a search on eBay which may yield results in coming months at which time I shall transfer and post for you. In the meantime here is the performance but not via an EMG gramophone I am afraid. : kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKnOaYmuq5dsnNk

[@gordonbitting1659]

Thanks for this have copy myself. I think these recreations sound best on acoustic machines especially the EMG

[@grahamrankin]

I agree ! No question and thanks for the comment.

[@grahamrankin]

You are more than welcome.

Я понял, это надо слушать на той технике, для которой это было записано. Звук зачётный.
