From Wikipedia: Frieda Hempel (26 June 1885 – 7 October 1955) was a German soprano singer in operatic and concert work who had an international career in Europe and the United States. Hempel was born in Leipzig and studied first at the Leipzig Conservatory and afterwards at the Stern Conservatory, Berlin, where she was a pupil of Selma Nicklass-Kempner. Her earliest appearances were in Breslau, singing Violetta, the Queen of the Night and Rosina. She made a debut in Schwerin in 1905, and was engaged there for the next two years, singing also Gilda, Leonora (Il Trovatore) and Woglinde. She made such a success that the Kaiser Wilhelm II requested the Schwerin authorities to release her to sing also in Berlin. She made a debut there in 1905 as Frau Fluth (in Nicolai's Die Lustigen Weiber von Windsor). She sang at the Royal Court Opera, Berlin, from 1907 to 1912, where she was also admired as Lucia, Marguerite de Valois and Marie. She appeared at the Covent Garden, London in 1907 as Bastienne, as Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel, as Eva and Elsa and again as Frau Fluth: Melba and Selma Kurz were taking centre stage in the more popular roles. In 1912 she made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera, in New York City as Marguerite de Valois in Les Huguenots. She sang regularly in New York thereafter into the 1920s. She was the first to sing the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier in New York (for Gatti-Casazza, December 9, 1913) and in Berlin, and she also sang the role in London in 1913. She was in the Met 1913 Un Ballo in Maschera as Oscar, with Caruso, Emmy Destinn, Margarete Matzenauer and Pasquale Amato; also the 1916 Marriage of Figaro with Matzenauer, Geraldine Farrar and Antonio Scotti. Her La Fille du Régiment was presented there in 1917. Hempel had a very wide dramatic range, from Rosina or Queen of the Night to Wagner's Eva and Weber's Euryanthe (Metropolitan, 1914 revival). After 1919 she devoted herself to concert recitals, and left the Metropolitan Opera House somewhat abruptly, making way for the career of Amelita Galli-Curci. However she then made a second career on the concert platform, excelling in the performance of lieder of Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Wolf, in Mozart concert arias, and the like. She became famous for recitals in which she appeared in costume as the famous nineteenth-century soprano Jenny Lind. She died in Berlin in 1955 at the age of 70.

Hempel sings Mimi's aria from 'La Boheme,' recorded in Berlin on 18 September 1913. This side is a little more 'well-loved' than those I have previously uploaded, but still quite acceptable.

Heddle Nash sings 'Questa o quella' (in English as 'In my heart, all are equally cherished,') with orchestra conducted by Clarence Raybould, recorded on 4 April 1932. I hear a little 'bird' intrude in the introduction! From Wikipedia: William Heddle Nash (14 June 1894 – 14 August 1961) was an English lyric tenor who appeared in opera and oratorio. He made numerous recordings that are still available on CD reissues. Nash's voice was of the light tenor class known as 'tenore di grazia.' The critic J. B. Steane referred to him as 'the English lyric tenor par excellence, without equal then or now...' Nash was born in the South London district of Deptford on 14 June 1894... The family was musical, and listening at home to a gramophone record by Enrico Caruso prompted Nash to apply for a scholarship at the Blackheath Conservatoire of Music. He was accepted, but a week later World War I broke out. Nash joined the army, serving in France, Salonika, Egypt and Palestine. The Blackheath scholarship was held open until after the war; Nash took it up on his return. He had some experience of concert and oratorio work, and then he accepted an offer to sing with Podrecca and Feodora's Italian Marionettes. Unseen, standing in the orchestra pit of the Scala and Coliseum theatres, he sang the tenor roles in many Italian operas while on the stages the puppets mimed the action. After the London season, the marionette company secured a contract to appear in New York; Nash went with them. On his return to London a friend advanced the money for him to study in Milan with Giuseppe Borgatti. On 7 April 1923 Nash married Florence Emily Violet Pearce, daughter of a sign manufacturer. They had two sons, John Dennis Heddle Nash +••.••(...)), who became an operatic baritone, and David L Heddle Nash (b. 1930). While studying with Borgatti, Nash made his operatic debut in 1924 at the Teatro Carcano in Milan, when he replaced an indisposed tenor in the role of Almaviva in Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia. It was a notable success. After singing at Turin, Bologna and Genoa, Nash returned to England with his wife in 1925. He had developed an Italianate style of singing that remained with him: it was said of him that he sang everything as though it were by Verdi. On his return to London Nash was engaged by the Old Vic Company under Lilian Baylis to sing tenor roles in English. Success was instantaneous. The Musical Times said that it was a pleasure to welcome a very beautiful tenor voice, praised his clarity of diction, and predicted that Nash would be one of the eminent lyric tenors of the future... At the end of the Old Vic season he joined the British National Opera Company, going on tour with the company after a short London season... In 1929, Nash made his debut at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden... He sang leading tenor roles in Italian and French operas at Covent Garden until World War II... The critic Alan Blyth called Nash the leading British lyric tenor of the 20th century, and considered him 'ideal casting for the heroes of French 19th-century Romantic opera.' Nash had a repertoire of twenty-four operas, and sang fluently in English, French, German and Italian. He was proud of being the first Englishman to sing David in Die Meistersinger in the International Season at Covent Garden. In the first Glyndebourne season, in 1934, Nash played Basilio in Le Nozze di Figaro at the inaugural performance, Pedrillo, and Ferrando in Così fan Tutte. He sang these three roles every year until 1938, adding Ottavio in Don Giovanni in 1937. The critic Richard Capell wrote, 'Hardly another tenor of his time has sung Mozart with such elegance and at the same time such a minstrel-like effect of spontaneity.' Nash also sang in lighter musical stage works... During the war Nash toured with the Carl Rosa Opera Company, often singing opposite the Australian soprano Joan Hammond... His last appearance at Covent Garden was in Die Meistersinger in April 1948. He continued to appear on stage until July 1958... Nash's career was not restricted to opera; he gave many song recitals, made radio broadcasts and performed in concerts and oratorio productions all over Britain. In 1931, he was chosen by Sir Edward Elgar to sing the title role in The Dream of Gerontius, in a performance conducted by Elgar himself. Henceforth, Nash was closely associated with the part, singing it at every Three Choirs Festival from 1934 to 1950... Nash sang regularly in Messiah, and other oratorios... In his later years, Nash was appointed professor of singing at the Royal College of Music. He sang in his last Messiah a few months before his death from lung cancer on 14 August 1961. On his tombstone in Chislehurst Cemetery are carved the opening words of part two of The Dream of Gerontius: 'I went to sleep and now I am refreshed...''
