Wilt thou recall that day"
from
Hie flying Dutchman*
THIS is the month of grand opera in New York. A new interest in the great singers of the world has been given by the opening of Hammerstein's Manhattan Opera House, and now New York City is the only city in the world where grand opera is given on a grand scale in two opera houses at the same time. This unusual interest in grand opera gives a special point to our announcement of five new grand opera records.
B 41 — " Nobil Dama " ("Noble Lady"), " Gli Ugonotti" ("The Huguenots") — Meyerbeer. By Mario Ancona, Baritone. Sung in Italian. Orchestra accompaniment.
B 42— " Guardate pazzo son' io"("Behold Me, I am Mad"), "Manon Lescaut"— Puccini. By Florencio Constantino, Tenor. Sung in Italian. Orchestra accompaniment.
B 43 — Gebet (Prayer), " Allmaecht'ge Jungfrau "(" All-powerful Virgin"), "Tannhauser" — Wagner. By Mme. Rappold, Soprano. Sung in German. Orchestra accompaniment.
B 44 — " Bella siccome un angelo" (" Beautiful as an Angel"), "Don Pasquale" — Donizetti. By Antonio Scotti, Baritone. Sung in Italian. Orchestra accompaniment.
B 45— "Willst jenes Tags"("Wilt thou recall that day"), " Der Fliegende Hollaender " ("The Flying Dutchman ") — Wagner. By Alois Burgstaller, Tenor. Sung in German. Orchestra accompaniment.
Comment on this list is almost unnecessary. Wherever music is known and loved these songs are great. Rappold, Scotti and Burgstaller have sung in grand opera all over this country. Ancona is Hammerstein's new baritone. Constantino is now singing in the South with the San Carlos Opera Company. Two selections are from Wagner, including the always popular " Flying Dutchman." Puccini is of special interest not only on account of his "Madame Butterfly" playing here, but also on account of the fact that he is now visiting in this country and conducting his own operas in New York.
