Tetrazzini has made one of the greatest successes in operatic history in this country, and has met with a reception almoat unparalleled. It is but sever years since the management of the Tivoli Opera House in San Francisco first brought Tetrazzini to the attention of the English-speaking world. Other countries had already discovered in her work qualities of extreme excellence; but it remained for San Francisco to make her ‘* world famous.” Her succeeding triumphs in London, New York and elsewhere are too well known to require further mention. Tetrazzini’s last tour, embracing twenty of the largest cities, was a succession of ovations. Everywhere she is recognized as the true successor of Patti, and some réles that made Patti famous have never been successfully sung since her retirement until Tetrazzini appeared upon the scene. It is a wonderful voice with which this great soprano is electrifying her audiences; remarkable in its purity and great range, while her colorature work is brilliant beyond any description that can be put into cold type. It is perhaps enough to say here that this marvelous voice has been recorded in all its beauty and power on these twenty-one superb Victor records, and the list contains all the numbers with which Mme. Tetrazzini has made her greatest triumphs. Especially noticeable in this list are the Proch air, one of the diva’s most famous numbers, her singing of it approaching the marvelous; the favorite Last Rose, the first record to be sung in English; the Swiss Echo Song, a famous old colorature air, the difficult variations being given with dazzling brilliancy and consummate ease; and David's beautiful Charmant Oiseau, which shows to rare advantage the diva’s purity of tones, especially in the duet with the flute. Mme. Tetrazzini makes records exclusively for the Victor.
