"His Master's Voice" Opera Rec. (made in Britain) MINT

$

61

Up for bid are six, 2-sided, "His Master's Voice" records.  They all have lavender coloured labels and are all marked, "Exclusive Limited Edition -- Private Subscription Only".  With the exception of one, all the records come in a plain brown jacket marked, Made in Great Britain.  The label is marked "The Gramophone Co. Ltd" and says, "Made in England".  As these were not manufactured in the USA, I cannot guarantee they will play on your stereo.  I do not own one so can't try it out.

I cannot find a date anywhere and these records are not the bendable vinyl-type records.  They are thick and seem to be the type that can break easily. 

The musical pieces are:

A.G.S.B.5 = Emma Eames - Le chanson des baisers (Bemberg) French/piano; Emma Eames - Dopo (Tosti) Italian w/orchestra.

A.G.S.B.27 = Jose Mardones - Recit: O patria, o cara patria and Aria: O tu, Palermo; I vespri siciliani (Scribe & Duveyrier - Verdi; Recit: Vieni, o Levita!, Nabucco Donosor (Act 2) Solera-Verdi - All Italian w/orchestra

A.G.S.B.23 = Johanna Gadski - Die Wacht am Thein (Wilhelm); An allen Zweigen - "Lobetanz" (Act 1) - Bierbaum Thuille - All German w/orchestra

A.G.S.B.57 = Giacomo Lauri-Volpi, Salut, demeure chaste et pure "Faust" (Act 3) Barbier & Carre - Gounod in French w/orchestra; Bianca al par di neve alpina "Gli Ugonotti" (Act 1) Marcello - Meyerbeer, in Italian w/orchestra

A.G.S.B.58 = Lucrezia Bori (Soprano) & Beniamino Gigli (Tenor), Ange adorable "Romeo et Juliette" (Act 1) Barbier & Carre - Gounod, Duet in French w/orchestra; Lucrezia Bori & Miguel Fleta, Parle-moi de ma mere "Carmen" (Act 1) Meilhac & Halevy-Bizet, Duet in French w/orchestra
