VICTOR RED SEAL RECORDS
THE NEW MELBA RECORDS
It was on December 5, 1893, in New York, that Melba was revealed to the Ameri¬ can public. Who that was present will ever forget the marvelous voice that burst on their charmed ears at that time ? Such astonishing power and brilliancy, such captivating ease of execution, such warmth and loveliness were simply astonishing. Music-lovers took the singer to their hearts that night, and to-day she is more firmly intrenched in their affection than ever.
Melba is today singing with the same delightful freshness, purity and power that have enthralled her audiences in the past, and it is a matter for congratulation that these records have been secured when the singer was at her best, so that posterity will hear her in the full tide of her powers.
