Description
US GREEN LABEL ZONOPHONE SINGLE: (10000) (1903)
ORIGINAL ISSUE No. 2500
LUCIA DE LAMMERMOOR- RONDO/ MAD SCENE (DONIZETTI)
LUISA TETRAZZINI (S) PIANO ACCOMPANIMENT
THE ORIGIN OF THESE ZONOPHONES REMAINS A BIT OF A MYSTERY- URBAN LEGEND PLACES THEM AS RECORDED IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA. FURTHER, IT HAS BEEN SPECULATED THAT HER BROTHER-IN -LAW, CLOEFONTE CAMPANINI- THE FAMOUS CONDUCTOR, WAS THE ACCOMPANIST. NONE OF THIS HAS EVER BEEN SUBSATNTIATED. THE ONLY THING CERTAIN IS THAT THESE ARE MOST LIKELY TETRAZZINI'S FIRST RECORDINGS.
BROWN WAX-MATERIAL ISSUE.
CONDITION '3-4' SCUFFS AND SOME NEEDLED GROOVES AS IS OFTEN THE CASE WITH THESE PRESSINGS, IT PLAYS ACCEPTABLY.
THIS IS FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION.
