“Edison proved lucky in snatching up Rachmaninoff, having fled revolutionary Russia to the US, before Victor or Columbia could get a hold of him. Here, Rachmaninoff recorded for the first time ever on Diamond Disc. Rachmaninoff made his first recordings for Edison Records on their ‘Diamond Disc’ records, since they claimed the best audio fidelity in recording the piano at the time. Rachmaninoff did not consider himself a great pianist and believed his own performances to be variable in quality; he therefore requested to personally approve any recorded performances to be commercially issued. Despite this, the Edison Company issued multiple alternative ‘takes’ of Rachmaninoff's recordings, a common occurrence in the gramophone record industry at the time, possibly for reasons of simple carelessness or because of the ease of mass production of records from multiple masters. Rachmaninoff was so angered by this that he left Edison and subsequently started recording for the Victor Talking Machine Company and its successor, RCA Victor.” - The New World Encyclopedia

“Aline Isabelle van Barentzen still holds the record as the youngest pianist, at 11 years old, to have won the First Prize at the Paris Conservatory. Her teachers the Paris Conservatory included Marguerite Long and Delaborde. Later she studied in Berlin with Heirich Barth and Ernst von Dohnanyi, and in Vienna with Leschetizky. With Paris as her home she became friends with many of the leading musicians and composers of the early twentieth century, including Enesco, Poulenc, Messaien, Roussel, and Villa Lobos, whose works she often premiered. She became a French citizen in the 1930s and spent the war in Paris, playing concerts as part of the effort to boost morale. At one time she had an active repertoire of over 500 works. Her extensive early training resulted in complete technical mastery; when she went to study with Leschetizky he declared himself satisfied with her technique and spent his time on interpretation.” - Rose Eide-Altman
