Edison Amberol Concert Records 75 CENTS EACH IN THE UNITED STATES; $1.00 EACH IN CANADA THE June Amberol Concert Records are unique in that they serve to introduce two new singers and a new instrumental quartet, all exclusive Edison artists. Eleonora de Cisneros has sung the contralto roles in almost every important opera which is performed at the present time, winning distinction as the creator of several difficult characters. The Hoffmann Quartet is universally recognized as the representative instrumental quartet of Boston and it has acquired a most enviable reputation in the musical world. Thomas Chalmers has but recently returned from two years of painstaking study in Europe and will in all probability be heard in Metropolitan operatic circles next season. 28017 Ben Bolt Eleonora de Cisneros "Ben Bolt" will carry thousands of its hearers back along the broad path of pleasant recollections, for it is one of the best loved of the old songs. And it is justly so, for it has a rare beauty in its words and music which must appeal to everyone. In asking Eleonora de Cisneros to sing "Ben Bolt" we have consulted the tastes of those music-lovers who feel that only a contralto of great richness of voice and depth of feeling could do justice to a song of almost hallowed memory; and the famous opera singer fulfills these requirements in a manner which must satisfy the most exacting critic. Orchestra accompaniment. Words and music by Nelson Kneass. 28018 Molto Lento — Quartet, Op. 17, No. 2 The Hoffmann Quartet One of Anton Rubenstein's earlier and best known string quartet compositions is his Opus 17, No. 2, the favorite movement of which is the Molto Lento — Spharen Musik (Music of the Spheres). The exquisite melody of this selection is in perfect accord with its theme and title, suggesting in its perfection the harmony of the celestial universe. The celebrated Hoffmann Quartet interprets this masterpiece in that most finished and comprehensive manner obtainable only by artists of the most consummate skill and musical appreciation, who have maintained an exceptionally high standard through years of concert work. Thoroughly artistic in conception and execution, this Record will find no superior in any field of musical endeavor. 28019 My Dreams Thomas Chalmers F. Paolo Tosti will be loved as long as music exists, for the many exquisite concert and drawing room songs which he has composed. Born in Italy, in 1846, he has devoted his life to music, as a singing master and composer. Amberol Concert Record No. 28009 ("Good-Bye") was Riccardo Martin's interpretation of one of Tosti's masterpieces. "My Dreams'' is one of the celebrated composer's favorite love songs which in Mr. Chalmers' rendition loses nothing of its great charm. Orchestra accompaniment. Poem by Frederic E. Weatherly; published by Chappell & Co., New York City. {Always specify on your orders whether you want Amberol or Standard Records.)
