A Historical (and top-notch) Find
12/26/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In 1912, Thomas Edison hired an agent to make recordings of opera singers to be sent back to Edison for his personal "audition." Several hundred (thousands were made) of these recordings were recently exhumed and make for an amazing listening experience. Although these are acoustic recordings, the sound quality is unsurpassed - the voices crystal clear, smooth, and even with no audible surface noise. All of the singers in this compilation are excellent, with some wonderful surprises coming from several realtively obscure names. A detailed booklet with comprehensive biographical material is included. Until this issue surfaced, very few people besides Edison himself had been able to listen to these treasures - let's hope that more of these gems can be found!"
