Victor records (Jan 1912)

: VICTOR RECORDS © “Number | Price WILLIAMS, EVAN. Tenor The public is to be congratulated on the engagement by the Victor of this great American tenor, whose popularity is widespread throughout the country. His voice is now at its best, and its beautiful quality, as well as the exquisite phrasing of which he is such a master, are much in evidence in the comprehensive list of selections he has made. Mr. Williams was born in Ohio, of Welsh parents, as his name denotes. He is immensely popular in the United States, and his reputation has extended into England by means of his fine Victor records, and he is now a great favorite there, having made several successful concert tours of that country. There are few tenor voices that give one such a sense of satisfaction as Mr. Williams’. No matter how sustained and intense a song may be, his voice displays a fresh beauty of tone that is remarkable. The tenor’s old friends have been delighted at the opportunity of hearing him on the Victor, and the records have made him many new admirers. Mr. Williams’ list is composed mainly of English ballads (and none of the tenor’s admirers need to be told how well he sings songs of this kind) but includes several opera airs in English and a number of oratorio selections. Mr. Williams sings exclusively for the Victor. WILLIAMS RECORDS (Sung in English unless noted) Absent (Poem by Catharine Glen) Metcalfi64109!10!1.00 African—Oh, Paradise!
