The Record Of Singing
''The Record of Singing'' is a compilation of classical-music singing from the first half of the 20th century, the era of the 78-rpm record. It was issued on LP (with accompanying books) by EMI, successor to the British company His Master's Voice (better known as HMV) — perhaps the leading organization in the early history of audio recording. The project was accompanied initially by two illustrated books, containing singers' biographies and appraisals, which were published in London, by Duckworth, in the late 1970s. It covers the period running from circa 1900, when the earliest recordings were made, through until the early 1950s, when the last 78-rpm records were produced. Singers are divided into groups arranged according to national 'schools' and ''fach'' or voice type. In practice, this means that there are separate Italian, German, French, Anglo-American and East European classifications. Rather than concentrating on famous singers whose recordings are widely available els ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
