Edison Grand Opera Amberol Records 40034 Lenz (Hildach) Sung in German Leo Slezak, Tenor LIST: U. S., $2.00; CANADA, $2.50 German "lieder" have steadily grown in the appreciation of other nations and especially with the American public. This "Spring" song by Hildach is a bright, joyous expression of the realization that once again has the year's most attractive, most welcome season come. Mr. Slezak, whose reputation as an interpreter of this kind of music is as great as that of opera, has given one of his masterful renditions of this so justly popular song. Orchestra accompaniment. 40035 Meistersinger-Preislied (Wagner) Sung in German Karl Jbrn, Tenor LIST: U.S., $2.00; CANADA, $2.50 No other opera of Wagner's has so fastened itself in the affection and admiration of music lovers as has his "Meistersinger." Of all the wonderful beauties of this opera there stands forth as a star above stars Walter's "Preislied," with which he enters the tournament for the hand and heart of his adored Eva. Mr. Jorn sings this number with all the poetic feeling and high art it demands, and has again made a most beautiful Record. Orchestra accompaniment. 40036 Boheme-Mi chiamano Mimi (Puccini) Sung in Italian Lucrezia Bori, Soprano LIST: U.S., $2.00; CANADA, $2.50 "They call me Mimi. Why ? I do not know." Thus in simple words does the heroine of the ever popular "Boheme" give the indication of her sweet and unaffected character, and tells her life story. Having been previously told by Rodolfo who and what he was, these two young people, drawn together by their love of sudden growth, have in a simple, sweet manner made themselves all in all to each other, and their romance is begun. Mile. Bori excels by her girlishly exquisite interpretation of this character. Orchestra accompaniment. 30031 Manon-Ah! dispar, vision (Massentl) Sung in Italian Aristodemo Giorgini, Tenor LIST: U. S., $1.00; CANADA, $1.25 Des Grieux, whose love for Manon has caused him all kinds of trouble, has decided to take the vows of the church. In this aria, in which Des Grieux is assailed by the vision of his former love and happiness, and is battling for the supremacy of his soul-life, there are cleverly interwoven love, despair and religion. The distant roll of the organ and the peal of the church bells make a vivid setting for the lover's appeal for strength and faith. Giorgini has again made a most interesting and pleasing Record of this master-piece of Massenet's. Orchestra accompaniment. 35010 Rigoletto-Caro nome (Verdi) Sung in Italian Selma Kurz, Soprano LIST: U. S., $1.50; CANADA, $2.00 Gilda, the only beautiful character in Verdi's so well known opera, has secretly been made love to and has fallen in love with the student, Walter Malde, who is none other than the duke in disguise. In this aria the young girl dwells in soliloquy and rapture on the name of her pretended student. Miss Selma Kurz sings this number with all the simplicity of girlish sentiment but bursts forth in passion where the occasion requires, and has thus interpreted this number in the most perfect way. Orchestra accompaniment. ^Always specify on your orders whether you want Amberol or Standard Records.)
