I am currently selling a series of great Richard Wagner and classic European 78 rpm orchestral recordings on all the great European labels:

Very little is known about the truely early Complete (or almost complete) opera recordings.

Zonophone recorded an early set of AIDA  in 1906, and this set of 17 columbia 10" records was the second, almost complete recording:

ONE RECORD of the complete recording: Sides 31/32.

 1912 - venue and conductor unknown

Columbia 5558/74, 17x10" (78rpm)

Sung in Italian

Following an earlier practice, these recordings are a pastiche in the sense, that several soloists sang one role on different sides.

Andreina Beinat (Mezzo-Soprano)

In 1911 she appeared at the Teatro Dal Verme of Milan in the premiere of Riccardo Zandonai’s new opera ‘’Melenis’’.

Vincenzo Bettoni (1 July 1881, Melegnano - 4 November 1954, Milan) was an Italian operatic bass who performed internationally from 1902-1950. He was a resident artist at La Scala in Milan from 1926-1940, and afterwords continued to appear periodically as a guest artist at that house through 1950. Other opera houses he sang with during his career included the Liceu, the Royal Opera House in London, the Teatro Colón, the Teatro di San Carlo, the Teatro Regio in Turin, the Vienna State Opera, and the Zurich Opera among others.[1]

A 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 are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and 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 quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

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

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, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

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 – 5.00$

2 records: 5.75$

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:

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower

International shipping: approx postage 1x10"=$25: 1x12"=$35: 10"Album 4 Rec=50$: 12" Album 2 Rec=50$
