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•••)

Bella Alten - Pagliacci - Ballata - International Record Collectors' Club IRCC 3025 enregistré le 22 avril 1909 Bella Alten (June 30, 1877 - December 31, 1962) was an operatic soprano who performed at the Metropolitan Opera House (39th St) during the early 1900s. Bella Alten was born in Zaskaczewo, Poland. She studied with Gustav Engel and Joachim at the Imperial Conservatory in Berlin, and later with Aglaja Orgeni in Dresden. Her first appearance in opera was as Aennchen in Der Freischütz in 1897 after which engagements followed in Berlin, Brunswick, Cologne and London. She was singing Cherubino in Marriage of Figaro, Nedda in Pagliacci and Eva in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg under Hans Richter (conductor) when Heinrich Conried (then the Metropolitan Opera's General Manager) heard her at the Covent Garden and engaged her for the Met. Her New York debut took place in November 1904 as Cherubino in The Marriage of Figaro in a cast that included Emma Eames, Marcella Sembrich and Antonio Scotti. During her nine seasons at the Metropolitan (1904–1908 and 1909–1914) she sang 31 different roles and a total of 426 performances. She appeared in casts that included such singers as Enrico Caruso, Frances Alda, Pol Plançon, Nellie Melba, Emmy Destinn, Ernestine Schumann-Heink, Pasquale Amato, Olive Fremstad, Louise Homer, and Geraldine Farrar, among others. Her operatic career included six Metropolitan premiere performances – Adele in Die Fledermaus (1905), Gretel in Hänsel und Gretel (opera) (1905), Saffi in Der Zigeunerbaron (1906), Olga in Fedora (opera) (1906), Columbina in Le Donne Curiose (1912), and Lisetta in L'amore Medico (1914). In November 1905 when she sang Gretel in the premiere Metropolitan performance of Hänsel und Gretel, the composer Engelbert Humperdinck was in the audience. This opera received 11 performances that first season and was selected by Theodore Roosevelt's wife as a benefit for the Legal Aid Society. Alten sang Gretel in this opera every season she was with the Met (77 times.) The one season she was not there the opera wasn’t presented. Her other most frequently performed roles were Musetta in La Bohème (68 times), and Nedda in Pagliacci (34 times). From 1908 to 1909, Alten went to Braunchweig, Germany where she created Madama Butterfly for that city. She also appeared in Bayreuth. Her only recordings date from this period; three selections from Madama Butterfly and the Ballatella from Pagliacci recorded for the Grammophone Company and all sung in German. Alten also appeared on Broadway as Maid Marion in Reginald De Koven's Robin Hood with Wallace Hyde and Florence Wickham. This opened May 6, 1912 at the New Amsterdam Theatre and ran for 64 performances. The hit song from this work, Oh Promise Me, is still heard frequently at weddings today. During her Metropolitan career in 1912, Bella Alten married Hermann Deri, an Austrian State Banker, and became Bella Alten-Deri. She returned to Vienna and continued to sing at both the Wiener Hofoper and Volksoper. She gave concerts and radio broadcasts as late as 1936. When the Nazis came to power in Austria, she and her husband moved to London where she died December 31, 1962 following her husband's death in 1941 Source : Wikipedia
Olive Fremstad Richard Wagner Roar Lichter Weise Wunder Heller Schall
Olive Fremstad sings the famous "Mild und leise wie er lächelt, often called the Liebestod, from Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. These are the opera's final moments--from Act III. Act III's setting is Tristan's castle in Brittany. HERE IS AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION: How softly and gently he smiles, how sweetly his eyes open - can you see, my friends, do you not see it? How he glows ever brighter, raising himself high amidst the stars? Do you not see it? How his heart swells with courage, gushing full and majestic in his breast? How in tender bliss sweet breath gently wafts from his lips - Friends! Look! Do you not feel and see it? Do I alone hear this melody so wondrously and gently sounding from within him, in bliss lamenting, all-expressing, gently reconciling, piercing me, soaring aloft, its sweet echoes resounding about me? Are they gentle aerial waves ringing out clearly, surging around me? Are they billows of blissful fragrance? As they seethe and roar about me, shall I breathe, shall I give ear? Shall I drink of them, plunge beneath them? Breathe my life away in sweet scents? In the heaving swell, in the resounding echoes, in the universal stream of the world-breath - to drown, to founder - unconscious - utmost rapture! HERE IS THE ORIGINAL GERMAN: Mild und leise wie er lächelt, wie das Auge hold er öffnet, - seht ihr's, Freunde? Säh't ihr's nicht? Immer lichter wie er leuchtet, sternumstrahlet hoch sich hebt? Seht ihr's nicht? Wie das Herz ihm mutig schwillt, voll und hehr im Busen ihm quillt? Wie den Lippen, wonnig mild, süsser Atem sanft entweht: - Freunde! Seht! Fühlt und seht ihr's nicht? Hör ich nur diese Weise, die so wunder- voll und leise, Wonne klagend, alles sagend, mild versöhnend aus ihm tönend, in mich dringet, auf sich schwinget, hold erhallend um mich klinget? Heller schallend, mich umwallend, sind es Wellen sanfter Lüfte? Sind es Wogen wonniger Düfte? Wie sie schwellen, mich umrauschen, soll ich atmen, soll ich lauschen? Soll ich schlürfen, untertauchen? Süss in Düften mich verhauchen? In dem wogenden Schwall, in dem tönenden Schall, in des Weltatems wehendem All, - ertrinken, versinken, - unbewusst, - höchste Lust!
