Adelina PattiThe Last Rose Of Summer (1905)

This record is one of great historic properties and let's us hear the voice of the greatest soprano of the 19th century, when you hear this you hear a voice that was heard for the first time in 1851 and she sang for President Buchannon in the 1850's and sang for some of the greatest composers and personalities and here in the new century we hear the voice that was heard by those over 150 years ago, isn't recorded sound amazing?

Reviewer: Rainer Bielefeld - [1.0 out of 5 stars] - December 6, 2006
Subject: It's sad to hear this great voice so garbled
This recording does not reveal why Giuseppe Verdi called her the "greatest singer he ever heard", it's sad to hear this great voice so mangled.

Reviewer: allanbairstow - [4.0 out of 5 stars] - August 29, 2006
Subject: Wonderfull
Recorded for posterity in her ageing years with the best technology available in 1905. An absolutely wonderfull treasure, I wish I had been there.

Reviewer: Candida M. - [1.0 out of 5 stars] - July 28, 2006
Subject: Does not do her justice!! Remove it!!!
This is atrocious. Adelina Patti had a beautiful voice and you should listen to her on the commercially available CDs (compilation CDs of great singers). She participated in some of the earliest recording sessions and her reputation will suffer from the releasing here of these primitive recordings.

Remove it, please!

Subject: Thank heavens it's the last!
Although this is supposedly a classic singer, the singing here is nothing short of awful, the last couple of notes are ear-cringing.
