Dame Nellie Melba: Her First Recordings - 78-rpm recordings made from re-discovered, original metal masters.

摘要

Dame Nellie Melba: Her First Recordings is the latest box of 78-rpm vinyl pressings fromnHistoric Masters (two multi-78 collections devoted to Adelina Patti and Francesco Ta-nmagno were previously reviewed in these pages, 2007;38[2]:281-183 and 2008;39[l]:169-n172). In the Patti review, I discussed the reasons why the vinyl 78s from HistoricnMasters are actually closer to the original wax masters than any previous pressings;ninterested readers are referred to that review.
