Sensitive and haunting... and simply beautiful... Two great artists at work! ⭐️🎹⭐️ Thank you for the magnificent post! 🙏🍀

Didn't know Rossi sang opera, thought he was just a ballad singer. Fairly crude recording but well-rendered.

Ahhhh. That sounds like a wonderful way to start an evening! Glad you enjoyed this!

Absolutely beautiful… I love to start the evening with a precious half hour of great music, and this was the beginning… ✨✨✨ Thank you for the wonderful post! 🙏🍀

What kind of needle is that? Wonderful video. Thank you for posting.

I found that I have some very thick, Edison records such as "It's Funny When You Feel That Way" with Frankie Marvin and His Guitar #19233 Flip side; A High Silk Hat And A Walking Cane #52607-R and some others. Good stuff. My right ear is playing high frequency sounds and loves the lack of bass notes :-) Right ear picks up all of it.

Gracias por tus videos aprecio mucho tu contenido la música ese tiempo me transporta a lo lejano de esos años desde ❤

Fabulous Mary! A much loved record in my collection too. Bax is one of those mid 20th century composers I love. And such a poignant sentiment, as you point out. The world should listen and take notice today...

Thank you for sharing these precious recordings. You've got yourself a new subscriber. Best regards,

Thanks for writing! I listened to the Frank Sinatra version. It is VERY interesting to hear him sing this! Old Blue Eyes singing None But The Lonely Heart-nice…

I first heard this song as sung by Frank Sinatra. Slightly different lyrics, but same melancholy.

The earliest recording I have is 'hark Watchman, what of the night' and playing it for me anyway transcends the inexorable.passage of time. I have my fathers' wartime collection of popular favourites- he could never remember past the first line, but hey! A simpler time amongst the trauma of modern living.

Wonderful melody! 💖

A very lovely performance, refined and sensitive … and a voice so full of charm… 🌹⭐️🌹 Thanks for sharing! 🙏🍀

Adorable… ✨✨✨ Not only the two enchanting voices, but also the lovely song… 🌹🌹🌹 And Henry seems to agree, doesn‘t he? 😉 🐕 Thank you for the beautiful post! 🙏🍀 And for adding the lyrics to the info box. 👍

Two names that promise highest quality and musical pleasure… a promise fulfilled abundantly… 🎹🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎹 Thank you for the beautiful post! 🙏🍀

Another lovely record Mary!

What a lovely surprise to see this and to hear the beautiful voice of Father Sidney McEwan. My father had all his recordings when i was young and I loved them. Brings back such memories. His autobiography is very interesting. "On The High 'C's. Thanks again.

Simply divine… moving and touching and so uplifting in a deeply loving, calm, internally powerful, soul-strong, trusting and faithful way… ⭐️❤️⭐️ Thank you for the sublime post! 🙏🍀

1938 Germany, Kristalnacht, the beginning of the Holocaust. This is sick! 😢

Delightful and distinctly French !

Thank you for this beautiful recording !

Thanks for listening! I love it too❤. Would you like to make a request and I can see if I can find it and play it for you? There are many many that are difficult to find, but also many that are readily available through the grapevine🎉

Oh, so lovely… quality music that speaks to the soul and makes every day a better day… 🎹⭐️⭐️🎹 Thanks for sharing! 🙏🍀

Glorious, thank you so much for sharing this Mary!

Glad it arrived safely Mary, and wonderful to see this!

This lovely, prayer-like song used to be very popular in Germany, especially with tenors who loved to perform and record it… ✨✨✨ The no-lyrics version you are sharing is also very beautiful! 🌹 Thank you! 🙏🍀

Oh that is so interesting! Fortunato! Just from the photos of him one can see how huge and alive his spirit must have been! Then….that powerful voice!!

Ezio Pinza, who was baptized with the name "Fortunato" through the priest's „creative decision“ (he considered Ezio too pagan a name), stood out for his sporting talents: in his youth he was a cyclist and initially only lived out his singing talent in the shower. However, his father thought he was so talented that he suggested that his son try a singing career. The rest is history... 🌹🌹🌹 Thank you for bringing back to us the voice and talent of this extraordinary singer! 🙏🍀 Obviously a voice Henry also seems to approve of… ✨

What a lovely little gem… enjoyable on a high quality level… 🌹💎🌹 Thank you for the beautiful post! 🙏🍀 Henry came in late, but he was obviously drawn toward the attractive voice and thoughtful, insightful singing…

A treasure it certainly is! I don't think I've heard any recording of this lovely song which surpasses this one. The quality of the singing, the sensitivity of the phrasing and the beautiful piano accompaniment set this recording apart. The Sydney MacEwan recordings I have are on the Parlophone label.

A very lovely recording… and though the great John McCormack may have been a little past his prime, he still knew how to present and interpret a song - and he did it excellently! ✨✨✨ Thanks for sharing! 🙏🍀

Thank you for this treat. This is disc is among John McCormack's last recording sessions. Even with his voice not being what it once was, he could still tell a story in song with great feeling and sensitivity.

Another utter treasure. You find such incredible records Mary!

Just gorgeous, many thanks Mary. 👏

Soulful and elegant… very lovely! ✨✨✨ Thank you for the wonderful post! 🙏🍀 How is Henry doing? I missed him in the video…

Beautiful !

Astonishing and magical! Many thanks for uploading this Mary!

So lovely !

Isn't this just the loveliest tune ? So melodious. This is an early electric recording by the Victor Salon Orch but they recorded it too, acoustically, in 1924 - which is the copy I have. Check out too on RUclips the British recording of this song by De Groot & The Piccadilly Orch.

Amazing

Sing Not To Me, O Beautiful Woman (Aka: Sing Not To Me, O Maiden Fair) Sing not to me, O beautiful woman, Your sad songs of Georgia; They remind me Of that other life and distant shore. Alas, They remind me, Your cruel melodies, Of the steppe, the night, and moonlit Features of a poor, distant maiden! That sweet and fateful apparition I forget when you appear, But you sing, and before me I picture that image anew. Do not sing to me, Beautiful woman, Your sad songs of Georgia; They remind me Of that other life and distant shore. Alas, your cruel strains Remind me Of the steppe and the night, And the moonlit face of my distant beloved.

A truly fascinating voice… and a singer with a great talent for expressing herself…🌹🌹🌹 Thank you for the very rewarding post! 🙏🍀

Wonderful !

Lotte also is exceptional voices today seem to miss that era of devotional skills.

Oh thank you! I inserted a “u”! Ugh! I definitely have to be more careful!!!

Best girl group of all time.

Lovely rendition, but please correct the singer's name to Falkner.

When you consider the technology they had to work with you can hear what it must have been like to hear him live

Super, yet another prize gem! And thanks as always for the BCN mention Mary! 😺
