A miscellaneous assortment of old but worthwhile recordings, transferred by me from original sources using modern technology.
Roberto D'Alessio (tenor) - Ay, Ay, Ay (Freire) (1926)
Roberto D'Alessio sings 'AY, Ay, Ay,' with orchestra presumably conducted by Lorenzo Molajoli, recorded in Milan on 9 December 1926.
D'Alessio (1893-1975) was an Italian tenor who had a career that spanned the years 1921 to 1937. Subsequently, he taught singing.
The Historical Tenors site tells us, 'Roberto D'Alessio was a distinguished tenor, always favourably received by critics and public. His interpretations were sober, elegant and serious. However, he could never reach the highest places in the tenors rank, perhaps due to the hard competence of tenors with the same class of voice, ''tenore di grazia''.'
I transferred this side from an Australian pressing of Columbia D 1575....

A very competent tenor with a pleasant mezza voce. Thank you.
I always enjoy Rossini! This is lovely. As noted on the Ay, ay, ay disc, this is Italianate in the very best way! Thank you and best wishes from George
You are finding some real treasures among these Milan Columbia records. This is some most thoughtful and thought provoking singing. Italianate in the best way. Best wishes from George
Magnificent!! This performance has it all - easy charm combined with really taut, skilled ensemble playing. It's a delight in every note. Thank you, VS for a superb transfer! 😀
Thanks!
Tuneful, dramatic music, played with panache. Very good, thanks VS!
Thank you for uploading. Wonderful!
Thank you!
Che meraviglia
Thanks!
Straordinario
Agreed!!
An excellent transfer! He was a great pianist and a true musician. I also like his Schumann.
@@josephli7164 Thank you!
Goodness me! This is great. Never heard this better done! Best wishes from George PS: I am surprised this did not break the groove as recorded!
@georgejohnson1498 Merli is quite a revelation. I hadn't even thought of transferring these records - indeed I had forgotten what I had - until yesterday when a listener expressed his appreciation of a Merli recording I had uploaded some time ago. I therefore had a quick look and found some Columbias of Merli and others, which I transferred this morning. Who cares that he takes the aria down a semitone? The singing is wonderful!
@@vintagesounds3878 Ah, transposition! I have never had a problem with it. Better to suit the singer's gifts than force them into a problem. Best wishes from George
@@georgejohnson1498 Agreed!
Not exactly my favourite sort of music, but when sung like this, I can see the point! What glorious singing, and playing. Wonderful record! Best wishes from George
1926 was the year ...first Turandot on stage. 1937 the first Turandot recorded for vinyl. Calaf was Merli Turandot Gina Cigna Liù Magda Olivero
Wow a new name for me - thanks for this!
Thank you very much for uploading these! I have wanted to hear it since finding a broken copy in a friend's collection and I've never seen another. Paxtons are always worth looking at and for years I just saw them as another library label.
I might have one or two more. I'll check. The difficulty with minor labels is that I find it difficult to file them away somewhere logical!
Do you have the Siciliana (O Lola) with Merli please? Thank you.
Regrettably, no: but I do have a number of other recordings by Merli, which I am happy to transfer.
@@vintagesounds3878 Thank you very much. I like Merli indeed.
Another unknown Bantock piece for me. The out of the way treasures of the recording industry shows us that there was a lot of accessible new music at a time when tuneful and energetic music seems to have lived side by side with much more difficult music such as the atonalists and serialists. For reasons beyond me the more difficult music was at the time was preferred by music critics, but even that has largely faded for the repertoire by now. The value in these rarities is that it shows us things that we otherwise would never have guessed the existence of! Best wishes from George

I just wanted to thank you for all of these recordings you share. Much appreciated!

We need some organists like Edwin Lemare. So bored with stuffy, academic organ recitals.

More music that is new to me. Granville Bantock is known to me through reading about Elgar. The knew and admired each other. A fascinating glance back at what is music so rarely heard today. I am not sure that it quite deserves its obscurity! Thanks and best wishes from George

He is so adorable and one of my favorite actors, it is so cool to hear him speak as a child.

Thank you so greatly for a splendid transcription of this beautiful recording by Bori. In this post, I find that the quality of the orchestral accompaniment is reproduced with such clarity that it is actually pleasant to listen to ... unlike most of the "orchestras" recording in the acoustic period. As for Bori's singing : what a delight.
Thank you! It really is very well done.
Thank you for this excellent reproduction of this famous early recording of Melba. I perceive that it is more "transparent" than most of the many transcriptions I have listened to over many years and has given me much pleasure.
Thank you: and I'm so pleased that you have enjoyed it!
Thank you. A beautiful recording from a hundred and twenty years ago. The older these records get, the more significant they become in my view. Best wishes from George
1904!!! will cds from 2004 work in 100 years time?/???/
Thanks George. The sound is really very good indeed for the time.
This is a favourite overture for me, despite is rarity these days. I think its unfashionable status is a real loss. I have a rare recording not issued at the time from 1960 with the Philharmonia and Klemperer, and they recorded only a "Take One" right at the end of session at Kelmperer's suggestion [though oddly the parts were already on the music stands - methinks Klemperer wanted to record something EMI did not want, and he was capable of such japes]. It is towering rendition with stunning un-rehearsed playing from the orchestra. Just like the sort of thing you might hear as a live concert opening overture. The horns roar like bull calves at the end and every thing except the opening dotted chords comes off superbly! EMI did not see fit to do any further efforts at getting it ready for a releasable recording so it stay in the the archives for over fifty years, before Testament rightly brought it out warts and all. But this performances [slightly slower than Klemperer's electric quick reading] is a well polished "bullseye!" And you know I reserve that for very few newly discovered recordings. The BBC mine seems to be worth mining! I suspect the BBC were recording in Munich given the variety of conductors [and one may surmise, different recording sessions]. One ask why as the various German radio stations of the time were also making recordings of the first quality. Still a bit of a mystery! Thanks and best wishes from George
@@georgejohnson1498 I don't quite understand why the BBC was recording in Munich: but I'm grateful that it did!
@@vintagesounds3878 So am I. especially for Anacreon! The number of grand musical performances caught in almost unknown recordings must still be huge. This BBC archive seems a remarkable new seem to mine. You keep chucking this old mackerel so many sprats! Best wishes from George
@georgejohnson1498 I don't have all that many of these, George, but they are certainly interesting, and probably also quite scarce as I understand the norm was to press 100 discs.

I am very fond of this little overture, here given a properly spritely rendering! It still strikes as a curiosity as to why the BBC would be recording the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra. Were these discs recorded in Germany I wonder? Thanks and best wishes from George
I'm not sure, but I have a number, some of which I have transferred and some that will come in due course. Interestingly, they seem to feature a wide selection of conductors.
thanks Vintage

@@georgemeiser3231 Thanks!
An interesting piece for a military band to tackle. They seem at ease with it though. Little side note about Haydn Wood. The last recording of Elgar's lifetime of his own music was a little piece called Mina [the name of one of his Cairn Terriers] and the score was given to Fred Gaisberg only a few weeks before the composer died. Gaisberg immediately set up a recording of this little piece with J Ainsley Murray conducting the small orchestra, and Elgar was presented with a rush pressing. By then time was short. A year later Haydn Wood conducted the Light Symphony Orchestra on a fine record that was published, and which incorporated the the expressive markings Elgar suggested on listening to Murray's rush recording. It is a lovely little piece and Wood got to wistful nostalgic heart of the little piece of music in a most sympathetic way. These Elgar miniatures can be so elusive. Like trying to catch a butterfly without hurting it. Wood let it fly without trying to catch it for sure. I just listened to it after many years as a result of this upload. Sorry for the off-topic. Best wishes from George Here is a video of a cine film of Elgar with his Cairns and Spaniel and beautifully we get Richard Hickox conducting "Mina" I love dogs and see these little rascals being ruined with love by a great man is something beautiful I think. ruclips.net/video/5w-HTlke8mg/видео.html
@georgejohnson1498 Thanks George. Yes, Wood's version of Mina is lovely as is the piece. Great film!
@@vintagesounds3878 Wood's record of Mina was exactly how Elgar's miniatures show go - quite brisk and full of inflection. EMI/HMV did not have to go to the trouble for the great composer, but they did. Gaisberg and and on Ronald would have had considerable influence on the Board at the time. I know this is well off topic, but it sort of shows that Haydn Wood was not only a remarkable conductor, but also a wonderful composer. I'd call this a bullseye upload. Best wishes from George
Haydn always come up the the goods! I have never come across this before, and it seems an oddity for the BBC to make a recording of the Munich Orchestra. That is a curiosity in itself. Thank you for bringing what must a rather rare recording to life again. It bet it gets more listens here than it may have had in the last seven decades! Best wishes from George

Came here to find what the song "John Peel" referenced in the book The Voyages of Dr. Dolittle was, stayed because goodness that's a really fine singing voice!
@@Number2MemeFinder You're not wrong: and it's a great recording of the song.
This is magically great. Coates certainly knew the styles, but this is not mere pastiche. It transcends that limitation. Basically it is music of its time that fully manages the trick of evoking the eras of the previous times and its own time ... Those who were sniffy [snobbish] about Coates' music were those who never wrote anything still worth remembering! Critics included!! I listened to the first three quarters this morning before work, and now return from the start. The playing and recording are exemplary, and of course Coates knew what he was doing on the podium. A more perfect performance would be hard to imagine. Recorded in the last few days of WW II, this sounds like it is based on EMI's rather than Decca's system, but is remarkably free and giving a proper sense of space. Indeed probably about as close to the state of the art of actual recording at the time, and dear VS, your transfer is simply lets us hear the whole wonderful thing! Probably appeals to me more than non Anglophone listeners, but that is okay Thank you sincerely for one of the most out of the way recordings I have listened to in a while, and best wishes from George
@georgejohnson1498 Thanks George. I agree wholeheartedly! This is different from the Coates we hear in his late 1920s recordings, but equally appealing. And yes, the quality is excellent, being helped by relatively clean vinyl pressings. I really need to mine the collection of these BBC transcriptions that I acquired fairly recently!
