Maria Kurenko Rossini Bolshoi Theatre Kyiv Opera 1890 1914 1918 1922 1925 1927 1980
The delightful Maria Kurenko sings 'Una voce poco fa,' recorded in New York on 15 April 1927. Maria Kurenko was born Maria Kurenkova in Tomsk, Russia, on 14 January 1890 and died in New York on 17 May 1980. She studied at the Moscow Conservatory under Umberto Masetti. She made her operatic debut in 1914. From 1918 to 1922, she was a soloist at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, and in 1922-3 at the Kyiv Opera. She left Russia after the Revolution, going on a concert tour of Europe. In 1925, she was invited to tour the United States, where she remained. Although she sang in opera, her US career was mainly as a concert singerand she gave numerous recitals. She also taught. I transferred this side from Australian Columbia 04068. The disc appears to have suffered some heat damage at some stage, but I've done my best to minimise the impact of this.
Hidalgo Maria Callas Serrano Vidal Verdi 1873 1892 1908 1910 1924 1926 1932 1941 1980
De HIDALGO sings from El Principe Carneval: Cancion Espanola / by José Serrano, 1873-1941, a Spanish composer of operas and zarzuela. Coloratura soprano Elvira De Hidalgo was born at Valderrobres, Aragona, in 1892 and died in Milan in 1980. As an accomplished pianist, she appeared before the public at age 12. She went on to study singing in Barcelona and then traveled to Milan for vocal study with Raoul Vidal. She made her singing debut in Naples, singing in Barbiere di Siviglia in 1908 when only sixteen years of age. With her incredible agility, silvery sound and vocal extension, she was considered one of the finest coloratura sopranos of her day. She sang in principal opera houses of Europe and at the Met in 1910-191l and again from 1924 to 1926. De Hidalgo was highly acclaimed in Sonnambula, Lucia di Lammermoor, La figlia del reggimento and in Verdi operas, especially Rigoletto. She retired from the stage in 1932 and thereafter devoted herself to teaching. It was when a professor at the Conservatory of Athens that she was the teacher of MARIA CALLAS, her most famous pupil. De Hidalgo had a profound influence on Callas, which explains Maria's early interest in the florid bel canto roles. Elvira De Hidalgo recorded for Fonotipia and Columbia. You are listening to a Columbia disc dating back over 90 years. ALL her original recordings are considered rare.
