Customer Reviews of Nellie Melba: Complete Gramophone Company Recordings, Vol. 2
"I'm sorry .... my light has gone out." I met only one person who remembered hearing Melba sing. He had been present, as a young man, at a performance of “La Boheme”. So perfect was her Mimi, he told me, that he never wanted to spoil his recollection by seeing any other soprano in the role.
Buy this second CD of her complete London Gramophone Company recordings and you’ll not only hear her singing Mimi’s two arias, you’ll also see her on the cover carrying a candle holder with an unlit candle. Alas, the real thing is only faintly indicated. Mimi’s first aria is truncated. The voice is recorded at very low volume with piano accompaniment that is barely audible. It is not a poor flower maker in an attic that we see on the CD cover, asking for assistance to relight her candle, it is a richly-dressed diva carrying a candleholder through an inner door of an elegant London apartment.
All of which typifies for me the disparity that I always find myself up against when exposed to the Melba of repute and the Melba of the Gramophone recordings. Did all sopranos in their mid-40s record as unsuccessfully as this in the years 1905 and 1906?
