Schubert: “Der Wanderer” by David Bispham 1912 This record is proof that older Columbia 78 rpm records sound really great when they are in near mint condition. For a 1912 acoustic recording the voice sounds very realistic and clear on this record. And, Bispham signed the wax master of the 12 inch record which shows clearly on the runout area of the pressed record. This was a somewhat common thing for classical artists on the Columbia label. David Bisphan was an American operatic baritone born in the mid-19th century. He studied in Italy and then sang extensively in England and the USA as well as across Europe. An incredible voice not all that well known these days. He sang at the Metropolitan opera, mostly in Wagner roles, from 1896 to 1903. After 1903 he sang few opera roles. Instead he performed in recitals and sang and recorded art song and lieder. “David Scull Bispham studied singing in Florence with Luigi Vannuccini and in Milan with Francesco Lamperti. He also studied in Bayreuth. In 1891 he was selected from among fifty applicants to perform the rôle of the Duc de Longueville in a London performance of André Messager's LA BASOCHE, marking his first professional appearance on any stage. He was engaged by the Royal Opera at Covent Garden to sing the part of Beckmesser in DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG in June 1892. This production was also to feature Jean de Reszke, Emma Albani, and Jean Lassalle in the other leading rôles. De Reszke fell ill during rehearsals, and the production had to be cancelled. On the day of the cancellation, however, Bispham was asked to substitute on the following day as Kurwenal in TRISTAN UND ISOLDE, under Gustav Mahler. This was Bispham's first Wagnerian rôle. His success there brought him a contract for Covent Garden, where he appeared, primarily in Wagnerian rôles, for all but two of the next ten seasons. Bispham made his American début, once again in Wagner, at the Metropolitan Opera on18 November, 1896, as Beckmesser. He remained with the company until 1903, singing mainly Wagnerian rôles; he also appeared in the American premières of Ignace Paderewski's MANRU and Ethel Smyth's DER WALD. He was a close personal friend of American soprano Lillian Nordica, with whom he travelled to Australia on her last tour before her death. He was also a frequent professional colleague of both De Reszke brothers (Jean and Edouard), Olive Fremstad, Ernestine Schumann-Heink and Dame Clara Butt, among singers, and Hans Richter, Arthur Nikisch, Felix Mottl, Anton Seidl and Walter Damrosch, among conductors. Bispham wrote a memoir of his professional career called A QUAKER SINGER'S RECOLLECTIONS, published by Macmillan in January 1920.” - Zillah Dorset Akron DAHR Link: (http•••) Wikipedia Link: (http•••)
David Bispham Frederic Clay Kingsley Weed Salmon 1857 1903 1921
David Bispham (bass, 1857 - 1921) sings " The Sands o'Dee" by Frederic Clay, words by Charles Kingsley, recorded in 1903. Original G&T 12" single-sided record 02045, played on a travelling arm gramophone based on the "Trade Mark model", but of modern construction, with refinements. (See Experimental Monmouth Gramophone No 1). O Mary, go and call the cattle home, And call the cattle home, And call the cattle home Across the sands of Dee"; The western wind was wild and dank with foam, And all alone went she. The western tide crept up along the sand, And o'er and o'er the sand, And round and round the sand, As far as eye could see. The rolling mist came down and hid the land: And never home came she. "Oh! is it weed, or fish, or floating hair-- A tress of golden hair, A drownèd maiden's hair Above the nets at sea? Was never salmon yet that shone so fair Among the stakes on Dee." They rowed her in across the rolling foam, The cruel crawling foam, The cruel hungry foam, To her grave beside the sea: But still the boatmen hear her call the cattle home Across the sands of Dee.
