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.

(1845-1922)
One of the greatest actresses the modern stage has
brilliant
ever known, Sarah Bernhardt began her career with a
studentship at the Conservatoire of Paris, in which
Conservacity she was born in 1845. After leaving the
toire, Mme. Bernhardt was admitted to the famous
Comedic Frangaise, where her earliest triumphs in classical
drama were gained. Finally severing her connection with
that theatre in 1880, Mme. Bernhardt then toured all over
Europe and America, making her name famous in both
Continents.
In 1899 she founded the theatre in Paris
which bears her own name. The Cross of the Legion
of Honour was bestowed upon Mme. Bernhardt by the
French Government in 1913, who also added the distinction of Ofcier in 1921. As an actress Mme. Bernhardt
excelled in traeedv. and was famed for her " golden voice.
Phedre," from which Mme. Bernhardt has recorded an excerpt, was one of her
is
greatest classical roles. In the plays of Rostend, from one of which the other record
taken, she was equally renowned.

ENRICO CARUSO-Tenor(1873-1921)
Probably no tenor of the operatic stage ever attained such world-wide fame as
Enrico Caruso, who for more than twenty years held unquestioned the title of the world's
" greatest tenor." A native of Naples, where he was born
in 1873, Caruso sang as a boy in church choirs. At the

where he died in 1921, as a result of illness contracted in New York the previous
year. Only a few months before his death he was recording for " His Master's Voice,"
by whom exclusively his wonderful art has been preserved for posterity.
The remarkable list of Caruso records given below may be divided into three categories. First come records from operas in which the great tenor was familiar everywhere" Boheme," " Aida," " Pagliacci," " Rigoletto," etc. Then there are records from lesserknowwnoperas in which Caruso had sung at some time during his career, such as " Forza
del Destino, " Gioconda," "Martha," and " Elisir d'Amore," etc. Finally there are
records that will recall the rare occasions when Caruso appeared on the concert platform,
and delighted his hearers with old Neapolitan songs and ballads by Tosti and others.

One of the most accomplished of operatic singers, the
late Charles Gilibert was for years a favourite artist at
Covent Garden during the summer " grand " season.
Of French nationality, M. Gilibert was bom in 1866,
and received his musical training at the Paris Conservatoire.
On leaving that institution he was engaged by the directors
of the Opera Comique, where his success resulted, a little
later, in an important engagement at the Brussels Opera
House. M. Gilibert made his first appearance at Covent
Garden in 1900, where his versatile gifts at once established
him in public favour, resulting in engagements yearly until
his death in 1913.
A baritone with a voice of charming quality, and
greatly gifted as an actor, M. Gilibert was equally at home in
French and Italian opera, especially in buffo roles. In
addition, he was an accomplished concert singer.

as " The Hungarian Boy " he appeared at Drury Lane, and
astonished all musical London. Both in Germany and in
England Joachim was always looked upon as the greatest
living interpreter of the classics. In England he made
history with his quartet at the famous " Pops" given in
the old St. James's Hall (London), and did much to make
known music of his two great friends, Schumann and
Brahms. In 1904 the English musical world honoured
him with a " Diamond Jubilee " celebration of his 60 years
of public performance here. Joachim died at Berlin in
1907. His lifelong friendship with Brahms, of whose music he was such a fine
interpreter, gives particular interest to this record of one of that composer's popular

Probably no comedian enjoyed such a popularity, a
generation ago, as Dan Leno, who for years was the life and
soul (with his famous partner, Herbert Campbell) of the
annual pantomimes at Drury Lane Theatre.
Born in 1861 in London, George Galvin, to give him
his real name, made appearances while still a tiny child at
small music halls in an acrobatic troupe presented by his
parents. As a youth he became a noted clog-dancer,

FRANCESCO(1857-1920)
Francesco Marconi was born in Rome of humble parentage, and followed the trade of carpenter. One day whilst
working he was heard singing by Maestro Persichini, of
whom the great Battistini was also a pupil. After studying
with his maestro, Marconi, whilst still very young, began
his triumphal career in the greatest theatres in the world.
He obtained his first successes in Boito's " Mefistofele "

ADELINA (1843-1919)
PATTI-Soprano
For over fitty years Adelina Patti reigned in the world undisputed as the " Queen of
Song." Rom in Madrid in 1843, she made her debut in New York (whither her parents
had migrated) when only 16, and achieved such a success
that she was brought back to Europe. At Covent Garden,
when barely 18, her first appearance took place in 1861,
and thereafter Madame Patti sang there until 1895. During
all those years she was an idolised singer in every capital in
Europe, and also in America. Madame Patti was the first
singer to undertake extensive tours in the United States,
where she received as much as £2,000 for a single concert.
Her last public appearance was at the Albert Hall in 1909.
For many years Madame Patti had made her chief
home in Great Britain, living at her famous castle, Craig-ynos, in South Wales. It was here that she died in 1919
As a Singer Madame Patti devoted herself largely to the

His magnificent stage presence and intensely powerful bass

PABLO DE SARASATE-Violinist

Bom in Spain in 1844, Pablo de Sarasate was one of
the pioneers of the modem school of violin virtuosity. For
beauty of tone, dazzling technique and warm emotional
style of playing he was unrivalled in his day. 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. Here in two records
we can hear his interpretation of his own popular Zigeunerweisen (" Gypsy Melodies ") as well as another popular

Francesco Tamagno is said to have had the most
powerful tenor voice the operatic stage has known during the
past century. A man of immense physique, it was declared
that when he sang one of his tremendous high notes
at Covent Garden, the huge glass chandelier in the roof
of the theatre would vibrate audibly. 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.
From this opera Tamagno made three records which have been preserved.
Other

Lewis Waller, one of the leading figures of the romantic
school of acting a generation ago, was born at Bilbao, Spain,
in 1860, the son of William Lewis, C.E.
His first stage
appearance was at Toole's Theatre in 1883. He was
associated with Sir Herbert Tree in many notable Shakespearian productions at His Majesty's Theatre, and later
became a manager on his own account, at the Imperial
Theatre. Mr. Lewis Waller died suddenly, while on tour
in the provinces, in 1916.
Lewis Waller was considered one of the finest elocutionists the English stage has known, as is shown by his
reciting of Tennyson's famous poem, and an equally familiar

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.

Mr. Henry Ainley was born at Leeds in 1879, and
made his debut in 1900 at the Lyceum. He has been
Shakespearian and other
associated with many notable
productions since that date and has been in management
on his own account on several occasions.
During the war the reciting by him of Cammaert's poem
" Carillon " (with Elgar's incidental music) was a feature
of many concerts of a patriotic character.

One might fittingly sum up Battistini in the phrase which his own countrymen
have applied to him-la gloria d'Italia.
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.
The
his art is shown in a remarkable way by this selection of records
from the versatility of
repertoire mentioned.For

EMMA CALVE-Mezzo-Soprano
There has never been a more fascinating personality
in opera than Emma Calve, one of the greatest Carmens
ever seen on the stage.
Born in Madrid, of French extraction, Madame Calve
was a pupil of the famous Marchesi. Her debut took place
at the Nice opera in 1882, and engagements followed at the
operas of Paris, Brussels, Milan and Rome. Covent Garden
first saw this delightful artist in 1892, when she charmed
audiences as Carmen and Santuzza. For many years
Madame Calve was a favourite with Londoners, and her
re-appearance at Queen's Hall in 1918, after a long absence;
was quite an event in the musical world, showing the singer
in a new role, that of a delightful interpreter of songs such
as the two here recorded.

THEODOR CHALIAPINE-Bass
The great Russian artist occupies a unique position in the world of song. 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

A celebrated Italian tenor of a generation ago, De Lucia
(born at Naples in 1860) was a favourite singer at Covent
Garden for a number of years, where he first sang in 1887
He created there the role of Canio in " Pagliacci " in 1893,
and excelled especially as the Count in the " Barber o
Seville." Jose in " Carmen," and as Lohengrin.
It was, however, in his rendering of Neapolitan songs
(of which a few are represented on this list) that De Lucia
was such a delightful and consummate artist.
The records preserved here show to what high mastery
of vocal art De Lucia had attained.

EMMY DESTINN-Soprano
One of the greatest dramatic sopranos the operatic stage has known in recent times.
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

GREGORIAN AND OTHER ROMAN
CHURCH MUSIC
From early days there existed a musical college in connection
with the Holy See
in Rome. 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.

HENRIK KLAUSEN-Actor(1844-1907)
Henrik Kristian Klausen, a Norwegian actor born in Kopervik in 1844, lived his
early days at Bergen. In 1860 he entered the School of Dramatic Art in Trondhiem.
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.
The most
prominent of his figures in Norwegian plays
were :Norten Kiil in " En Folkefiende."
Caardbruker Lundestad in " De
unges Forbund.

DAME NELLIE MELBA-Soprano
The greatest Queen of Song that the Anglo-Saxon world has ever produced, Melba
occupies a unique place in the realm of vocal music. 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

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.

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.
Of his own compositions, many smaller pieces, such as the celebrated Minuet, are
immensely popular

LUISA TETRAZZINI-Soprano
Probably no singer ever made an international name with more rapid;ty than
Mme. Tetrazzini.
It was during the autumn season at Covent Garden in 1907 that a
singer new to London, although well known to the Latin
countries of Europe and America, made a first appearance,
and next day was acclaimed as an operatic " star " of the
first magnitude.
In a few days all London was flocking to
hear Mme. Tetrazzini, the " Florentine nightingale," as she
was christened, display her exquisite coloratura, including her
famous E in
alt. A visit to America early the next year
resulted in a similar furore for the new singer, who from
thenceforth was firmly established in popular favour at
Covent Garden and the Metropolitan of New York.

HISTORY
TOLD BY THE GRAMOPHONE
addition to its services to music and art, the
gramophone has fulfilled another important function.
IN
It has helped history by "recording" famous personages
in national life, including Their Majesties King George
and Queen Mary.
The views and achievements of
great statesmen, soldiers, divines, explorers and other
prominent figures in the various spheres of human
activity, as told in their own words, are here preserved
in a collection of records of unique historical value. They
are not only greatly interesting to the public of to-day,
but will be of inestimable benefit to a future generation.

When the Gramophone Company recorded the voices of the King and Queen at

THE RIGHT HON. H. H. ASQUITH, M.P.
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. During
1914 Mr. Asquith was for a short time, until Lord Kitchener's acceptance of that post,
his own War Minister.
