Black, Andrew, baritone * 01.15.1859 Glasgow, † 09.15.1920 Sydney (Australia), he became organist at the First United Presbyterian Church Anderson in Glasgow, but then let his voice in Alberto Randegger and John B. Welch in London and train with Domenico Scafati in Milan. He began his career in Scotland in 1887 and had his first successful appearance at the Crystal Palace in London. His career was focused mainly on the concert singing and especially the oratory. Solo parts in "Elijah" by Mendelssohn (1894 at the Birmingham Festival and many other occasions), in "The Apostles" by Edward Elgar (lot of Judas, which he created in the premiere of the oratorio at the Birmingham Festival on 14.10.1903) and "The ghost Bride" (Leeds Festival, 1892) by A. Dvorák were among the highlights of his extensive oratorio and concert repertoire, which also contained numerous song compositions. In 1893, he sang a solo in London in the first performance of the Mass in D Major by A. Dvorák. He is also occasionally appeared as an opera singer appeared in England as in the United States. At the opening of the Royal College of Music in Manchester in 1893 he was appointed its professor. After a tour in Australia in 1913, he remained there as a teacher, but then worked.

Records: G & T (London 1901-06, mostly songs, some arias from oratorios).

 Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects, like cracks, chips and scratches, are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a given pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless another service is requested. Shipping is at your risk.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.50$

2 records: 5.50$

5 records: 7.50$

10 records: 9.50$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.

Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!

International Buyers:

The US POSTAL SERVICE has increased international shipping rates in 2013.
