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.

Anne Roselle is no longer well-known, but her records are well worth attention. From Wikipedia: Anne Roselle (born Gyenge Anna, 20 March 1894 – 31 July 1989) was a Hungarian-American opera singer and actress. Gyenge Anna was born in Târgu Secuiesc (Kézdivásárhely), that time Hungary, now Romania, part of the city's large population of Székely Hungarians. (Some sources give her birthplace as Budapest.) She completed her studies in Csíkszereda (Miercurea Ciuc), Székelyudvarhely (Târgu Secuiesc) and Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca). She debuted in Budapest as Iluska in Pongrác Kacsó's "János Vitéz". In 1912, she married the banker Árpád Rosner in Temesvár (Timisoara), and they together moved to the US in this year, with her mother and stepfather. Roselle acted in Budapest and studied acting with Szidi Rákosi as a young woman. She studied singing with Estelle Liebling in New York City. Roselle sang in New York, with the Metropolitan Opera in 1920, as Musetta in La Bohème. She debuted on December 4, 1920, on the side of Frances Alda, Beniamino Gigli (his third performance in Met), Antonio Scotti and Adamo Didur. From 1922, she sang for two years with the San Carlo Opera Company, was a guest soloist with the Minneapolis Orchestra, toured in the central United States in the 1922-1923 season, and the private company of Antonio Scotti then moved back to Europe. She joined the Dresden Opera in 1925 to sing the title role in the first German performance of Puccinis's Turandot on the side of Richard Tauber and diricted by Fritz Busch (July 4, 1926). She premiered the first Turandot in the US outside the Met in San Francisco (1927) and next year, the first performance in Verona with Georges Thill (1928). She sang in Budapest, Milan, Vienna, London, Paris and Berlin, and was part of a radio broadcast of Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera, with Maria Olszewska. She was also known for singing the title role in Verdi's Aïda and Leonora in Il Trovatore, among others. Roselle returned to the United States late in 1929, and sang at Carnegie Hall. The New York Times reported that 'her higher tones are usually produced with fine resonance and color and absolute fidelity to the pitch.' In 1931, she starred in the first United States performance of Wozzeck, with the Philadelphia Orchestra, under the direction of Leopold Stokowski, and in the Met, as her last appearance there. Also in 1931, she performed the first German-language version in America of Richard Strauss's Elektra in the US, conducted by Fritz Reiner, casting also Margarete Matzenauer, Charlotte Boerner and Nelson Eddy. She regularly sang in Budapest between 1926-1938, where she was a company member in 1936/1937. Her roles covered a rarely seen repertoire from Mozart's Constanze to Turandot, and also Nedda and Santuzza (after each other), Butterfly, Margit (Faust), Tosca, Leonore (Il Trovatore), Elisabeth (Tannhäuser), Saffi (Der Zigeunerbaron), Mimi, Desdemona and Donna Anna. In 1936, she went to a tour to her native land Transilvania with a selection of Kodály's Hungarian Folk Songs, and toured to Hungarian cities like Szeged, Miskolc, Nagykanizsa, Debrecen. In 1935, she got a role in the film 'Halló, Budapest'. In 1934, she was back at Carnegie Hall, in Orfeo ed Euridice and went to London to sing Turandot with her partners Eide Norena, Armand Tokatyan and Ezio Pinza. Her possible last appearance on a staged full opera was in 1941, in Mozarts Don Giovanni, with her partners Ezio Pinza, Tito Schipa, Margit Bokor, Lőrincz Alváry, conducted by László Halász. There is a 35 minute long recording of this performance. Until 1946, she sang arias at various concerts, too. In 1946, she sang in a diverse 'pop' concert at Carnegie Hall, sharing the program with Hungarian pianist Ernö Balogh, Huddie Ledbetter, Mary Lou Williams, Tom Scott, Susan Reed, and others. She gave a recital in 1948 at New York's Town Hall performance space. She recorded opera arias and songs by Schubert and Hungarian composers on 26 LP discs. After she retired from the stage, Roselle taught voice in Philadelphia. She was artist-in-residence at Florida Southern College in her later years, until she retired from teaching in 1967. Roselle made several recordings in Berlin in the 1920s. In 1934, she gave an interview decrying the effect of recorded music on live music. In 1971, she gave another interview, grateful to revisit the past through recordings. Anne Roselle made her first recordings under her birthname Anna Gyenge for Victor (Camden 1916-17), then followed records for Polydor (Berlin 1926-28 and Paris 1932). In 1948 she recorded in New York for Continental and Remington. In 1912, Roselle married a Hungarian banker, Árpád (later David in America) Rosner; they had a son, George. She was widowed when Rosner died in 1956; she lived in a nursing home in Lakeland, Florida in her later years. She died in 1989, aged 95 years.
