THE GRAMOPHONE CO., LTD. THE ART OF A PAST GENERATION T HE Gramophone has now been established as an artistic instrument sufficiently long to undertake a new role-that of the preservation of the art of a past generation.Such a role is obviously of unique value to the art of to-day and of the future. Where tradition could only speak with an uncertain voice, the Gramophone will recreate the past with absolute fidelity. The records contained in this section give a wonderful impression of the art and personality of many famous figures-now, alas, removed by the hand of death-whose work has delighted the public during the past quarter of a century. Of particular interest are the musical records, by singers, players, composers and conductors whose names are among the greatest that the musical world has ever known. It must be.pointed out that most of these records, dating from early days, are imperfect, technically, as compared with those made to-day by improved modern processes. In the ordinary way they would have been withheld but being of ..from circulation, such interest and importance it is felt that they should still be preserved for the enjoyment of the public.

His career extending over more than knighthood, bestowed in 1907, in celebration of the fiftieth honour of its kind year of his public career, was the only that has been accorded to a singer in this country, and was a well-deserved recognition of his art. A pupil of Garcia, from whom he learnt the art of bel canto, Santley day. quickly became the most sought after singer of his On the concert platform he was identified with oratorio, his finest role being that of the Prophet in " Elijah," and also became noted for his singing of old English songs. He also made many successes on the operatic stage, in 1863 creating the role of Valentine at the production of Gounod's "Faust" in England, and in 1870 the role of Dublin Chancellor the Dutchman in Wagner's " The Flying Dutchman," this being the first Wagnerian production in this country. In 1915, when 81 years of age, Sir Charles sang in public at a charity concert at the Mansion House (London), on which occasion Edward Lloyd also reappeared.

Sarasate's early training was accomplished at the Paris Conservatoire, the French capital being the scene of his first triumphs. In England he was a popular favourite for many years, and was an admired artist in most countries of Europe and in America. As a composer Sarasate wrote many delightful works for his instrument, most of which are still popular with players to-day.

On account of his physique, and his huge voice, Verdi wrote the tenor part of Otello (in his opera of that name) especially for Tamagno, who created the role at Milan in 1887. His first appearance in London, at the Lyceum in 1889, was in this part, which he subsequently sang in almost every opera-house of note all the world over.

THE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ART its of the modern gramophone, during from the twenty-five evolution past years to an instrument an interesting scientific experiment of artistic value, is surely one of the most fascinating stories in the history of science and art. creation The this development is familiar realised when we compare earlier instruments to most of us-for example, the one immortalised in famous trade-mark-with the superb models that our to-day are playing such an important part in the amazing rapidity of musical world. The advance in recording processes has been equally astonishing. On the technical side vast strides have been made, until perfection has been well nigh attained, while artists have gradually mastered the difficult art of recording their work. Those of them whose names figure in this section have been associated with our activities for many years. Many of their records are technically imperfect compared with those made to-day, but on the other hand they are of too great artistic value to be entirely withdrawn. They show those artists' work in earlier years, and also illustrate the astonishing advance that has been made in recording.

For Italy is the land of song. and Battistini has been without a rival as an exponent of the historic bel canto of his country. It is difficult to realise that this great singer, still delighting thousands with his incomparable art, made his operatic debut so long ago as 1878, in Rome. He was then twenty-one years of age, and has been singing continuously ever since that date. Battistini made his first appearance at Covent Garden in 1887, and there is not an important opera-house in Europe where he has not triumphed. Everywhere his appearances have brought together audiences of connoisseurs in fine singing, and nowhere has he been more appreciated than in England, as the great success of his recitals in recent years bears witness. Possessed of a voice of exquisite quality, his perfect vocal techniaue and the wonderful artistic finish of his singing have Eicher Lerün made him the aristocrat of the vocal world. In opera his greatest roles are those, naturally, of the Italian school; he is unequalled as an interpreter of Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, Mozart, and in modern works such as " Pagliacci," Battistini has also exhibited his great gifts.

Endowed with a wonderful voice, he is equally gifted as an actor, and it is probably true to say that he is the greatest dramatic singer the operatic stage of to-day possesses. He has created in Russian opera a series of wonderful characters, such as Boris Godounov, Ivan the Terrible, The Khan (in " Prince Igor "), Dositheus (in " Khovantchina "), and many others that stand out as unique in grandeur of conception, vocally and dramatically. In the concert-room Chaliapine is equally great. His interpretations of classical and other songs are of marvellous individuality and subtlety. A well-known writer once characterised Chaliapine as a singing actor." He himself has said that he does not call himself either singer or actor, but simply " artist." Certainly he is an artist of the utmost genius in everything that he does. Theodor Chaliapine was born in Kazan in 1873. By Bain News 1895 hissunerb bass voice had procured him a place in the Russian Imperial Opera at Petrograd. From this time onward he was the idol of the Milan, Monte public, both in Petrograd and Moscow, and there followed triumphs in Carlo, New York, and finally London. in 1913. His appearances here with a Russian Company at Drury Lane in 1913 and 1914 are memorable. Outside of Russian opera, Chaliapine has given some wonderful operatic performances as Mephistopheles, Don Quixote and Don Carlos. In recent seasons Chaliapine's song recitals have become one of the most Popular' features of English musical life.For Prices of Records see page 2 THEODOR CHALIAPINE-continued.

Destinn was a 'Leading" star " at Covent Garden for many years, up to 1914 A Czech by birth, this delightful artist first made her reputation at the Royal Opera of Berlin. Then, on her debut at Covent Garden in 1905, she immediately delighted English audiences with her magnificent voice and dramatic gifts. This season culminated in the first Covent Garden production of Puccini's " Madama Butterfly," July 10th, with Destinn as Protagonist, Caruso as Pinkerton and Scotti as Sharpless. It was a memorable occasion and Destinn achieved a great success. Destinn's greatest role was unquestionably that of Aida, her singing of which was a feature of many " grand " seasons in prewar days. But she was equally fine in many roles, both in German and Italian works, classical and modem. Her Tosca was always greatly admired, while other performMishkin NewYork antes which will always linger in the memory of opera-goers were her impersonations of Gioconda (in Ponchielli's Opera of that name) and of Agatha in Weber's masterpiece " Der Freischutz."

Such a college, formed to train singers for the ceremonies of the Papal Court, was in being as early as the ninth century. From it, singers were provided for services in the ancient basilicas of the Church, in the Eternal City, and at a later date for the Papal functions held in the Sistine Chapel. In the sixteenth century the choir, from the fact that it was largely used for the private services of the Pope, was known as the Sistina Capella. In recent times the Sistina Capella has ceased to exist as a permanent institution. but is constituted, for special Papal occasions, of selected singers from the choirs of the five Roman basilicas. It is a body of singers formed in this way that has toured Europe and America during the past few years. In the sixteenth century the Sistina Capella became famous because of its association with Palestrina, who wrote his greatest works for performance by the choir, which to day has this preserved the masters tradition in interpretation. Palestrina occupied the post of Maestro di Capella to the Pope, an appointment which was held some years ago by Dom Lorenzo Perso, the well-known composer of religious music, under whose direction some of these records were made. Other famous ecclesiastical colleges in Rome are noted for their liturgical music, such as the Benedictines, the French College, the Augustinians, by whom some of the undermentioned records were made.

He appeared at various theatres and with Dramatic Societies in Norway and Sweden and later made an appearance at Biömson's Theatre in Mollergaten. From here he went to the Christiania Theatre and in 1889 he achieved great success in the National Theatre, Christiania. Klausen won an important reputation on the dramatic stage. He was regarded as a great portrayer of character studies, but his greatest and most popular portrayals were in comedy.

She made her operatic debut as long ago as 1887 (at the Brussels Opera House as Lucia), and is still repeating to-day those triumphs of her earlier career. Her appearances at Covent Garden in 1923 were as memorable as any during the 'nineties, when the term Melba night " began to mean a house with almost the appearance of a gala performance. And when that other great star, Caruso, joined the incomparable Melba, the Melba-Caruso nights (from 1902 to 1907) were perhaps the most famous that our historic opera house has ever known. There is more than a touch of romance in the singer's rise to fame. Arriving in London from her native Melbourne in 1886, her unique vocal gifts were not immediately recognised. It is well known that the best engagement her voice then commanded was the offer of a small part from M. sFýd-,u cr,,k2 the late Sir Arthur Sullivan for one of his Savoy operas. The offer was wisely refused, and Melba went to Paris to study with Mme. Marchesi, who at once recognised in her pupil a future " star." Her Covent Garden debut in 1888 opened up a career of unparalleled splendour, and immediately secured her position as one of the world's greatest operatic artists. Dame Melba has been acclaimed in every leading opera house in the world : she has sung to most of the royalties of Europe, and has probably received more tributes of admiration to her wonderful voice than any living singer. A fitting recognition of her great career, and also of her patriotic Wandbenevolent activities, was the bestowal upon her in 1918 of the title of Dame of the Order of the British Empire. She was the first singer to be thus honoured. Dame Melba's exquisite voice has always suited two classes of operatic roles, the coloratura and the lyric. In the latter category her most famous impersonation has been Covent Garden. as Mimi in " Boheme," a part which she has made peculiarly her own at Another of Melba's great parts is that of Desdemona in Verdi's " Otello," while as Marguerite, Juliette, and Ophelia (in Thomas's " Hamlet ") she has equally delighted opera-lovers.DateRecorded No. A vos jeux, mes amis, permettez-moi de grace (HAMLETThomas) In French (Mad Scene-Part 1) (78) Pale et blonde dort sous 1'eau profonde (HAMLET-Thomas) In French (Mad Scene-Part I I) (78) Ange est venu, Un (Bemberg) In French-Duet with Per valli, per boschi (Blangini) GILIBERT In Italian-Duet with (80) GILIBERT 1907 Size.

E 1110 Black E 185 10 Black An Italian by birth, Alexander Moissi is one of the most popular actors in Germany and the Scandinavian countries. His first appearances were made at the Hofburg Theatre in Vienna in 1900, and two years later, atter continual experience in playing on the German stage, Moissi took up a leading position at the Prague Landestheater. While appearing in Prague his dramatic gifts attracted the attention of Max Rheinhardt, the famous stage director of the Deutsches Theater of Berlin, with the result that his services were transferred to Rheinhardt's own theatre. Rheinhardt is said to have introduced the young man to his colleagues at the first rehearsal with the words, " Gentlemen, here I bring you ` the' actor ! " There is in his vibrant voice a power which even the words " great " and " powerful " do not suffice to describe. Moissi's voice is " intensive," its influence is out of the common because there is something unrevealed in it and because there is always an appearance of restraint, as though To a conspicuous something dangerous and wild were striving to break forth. His face possesses a degree of mobility degree Moissi's acting is a gift of nationality. which no German has. Moissi uses grimace with a spontaneity which is natura! only to southerners, and which with the northern temperament appears intentional: laborious, even comic. Amongst his best r6les are " Hamlet," " Faust," the part of Franz Moor in Schiller's The Robbers," " Everyman "-in which he attained his greatest triumphs-and other classical drama.

D 835 12 Black IGNACE JAN PADEREWSKI-Pianist A most remarkable personality in music of to-day, lgnace Jan Paderewski is the greatest musician Poland has produced since Chopin. Like the latter, he is an ardent patriot, and has achieved the unique distinction, for a musician, of having been the President of his country, the first to hold that office since Poland once more became an independent nation. As a pianist he is of the " royal " line of Liszt and Rubinstein, a player of compelling magnetism that the whole world has acclaimed. Nor must we omit to mention his gifts as a composer of opera, symphony, and numerous works for the instrument of which he is an incomparable master.Paderewski did not at first make up his mind to become a pianist. As a young man he settled down as a professor at the Warsaw Conservatoire, and later on at Strasbourg. It was not until he was twenty-six years of age that, in 1886, he resolved to train for a concert career, under the famous Viennese professor Leschetitzky. After four years of study Paderewski came to London, and almost immediately found himself recognised as one of the greatest of pianists. Even more sensational was his success a year later, in America, where he had a triumphal progress, creating a furore in every city in which he gave a recital. At one concert alone £1,400 was realised. For more than thirty years Paderewski has continued to evoke the enthusiasm of audiences all over the world ; his reappearance in England after the war, in 1923, creating the same excitement as when he first played here more than thirty years previously at the old St. James's Hall. As a pianist Paderewski has always been famous for his Chopin interpretations.

One of the outstanding figures in the political world, as a great Liberal statesman, for the last thirty years, Mr. Asquith began his career with a brilliant scholastic record. The son of a Yorkshire schoolmaster, he was born at Morley (Yorks) in 1852, and became successively Scholar and Fellow of Balliol College, where he was a favourite pupil of the famous Dr. Jowett. After taking a first-class honours degree, Mr. Asquith entered the legal world. He was called to the Bar in 1876, and taking his Q.C. in 1890, quickly became one of the leaders of the Bar. He first entered Parliament in 1886, as Member for East Fife, and took ministerial Office as Home Secretary in Lord Rosebery's cabinet of 1892. In the Liberal Government of 1905 Mr. Asquith was Chancellor of the Exchequer, and on the death of Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman in 1908, was made Prime Minister, occupying the Premiership until 1916. As head of the Government it fell to Mr. Asquith's lot in 1914 to take one of the most fateful steps in the history of the country, the declaration of war against Germany.
