About
This album presents the most culturally important of the rediscovered shellac tracks: Pietro Mascagni conducting his own works, including the captivating Intermezzo from Cavalleria rusticana; Caruso’s baritone “rival” Titta Ruffo singing Largo al factotum; legendary violinist Váša Příhoda performing Dvořák and Elgar; Mozart tenor Julius Patzak performing Ottavio’s aria from Don Giovanni; and international stars like Louis Armstrong and Lale Andersen contribute some jazz standards.
All tracks have been restored from original “mother” or “father” discs, digitized with state-of-the-art technology and carefully remastered to the highest standard.
The album includes essential track documentation: artists, recording dates if traceable, and the original matrix and catalogue numbers.
