[Thrilled with her rendition, Calvé emits an enthusiastic laugh at the end!] MB 35
What perfect singing [the above] is! The rich mezzo-soprano is as smooth as velvet, but there is an ocean of feeling beneath the even flow of creamy tone. These modern singers…should cease their would-be dramatic screams for a while and learn how to act with the voice and keep it beautiful at the same time.” - Cedric Wallis, THE AMERICAN MUSIC LOVER, July, 1936

“…in coming up to the final high note [above], Calvé had a small but noticeable disaster….This time Calvé's performance was still more intense. There was more dancing, and then the final phrase...emerged precisely as it had done before. 'Ah, Mon Dieu!' exclaimed Calvé through her teeth, and these words were also recorded. After that, they gave up on Carmen."

For whatever reason, [Calvé] had never previously recorded the Carmen ‘Air des cartes’, and here for Pathé she delivers a dark and brooding interpretation that goes well beyond the nice ‘vocalization’ of most of her recordings and gives, for once, a suggestion of the dramatic intensity for which she was so famous.” - Victor Girard, notes to Marston’s Calvé CD

"In 1906, Mme Marchesi made some records for the HMV Company in Berlin; the matrices were destroyed the same year in submission to an ultimatum of Nellie Melba - a dark chapter in the story of recorded song....Then, after a lapse of thirty years, Mme Marchesi returned to the HMV Studios to make three records, already historic....The records which [she] has recently made in London represent the first major triumph of the record collectors....There is thus preserved for us the most important link in that chain which constitutes the history of recent song, a chain that leads back through the grandure of the Golden Age directly to Manuel Garcia."

Tariol-Baugé began her career at the Grand Théâtre in Bordeaux. Here she appeared in CARMEN, MIGNON, WERTHER and FAUST. She made guest appearances in Russia and began to appear with great success in operettas. She toured through the French provinces and North Africa. She made her début at the Nouveau Théâtre in Paris in Suppé’s BOCCACCIO and had a sensational success. After her appearance at the Théâtre Eldorado in Paris, she became the big star of the Théâtre des Bouffes Parisiens. Here she took over in the premieres of operettes. Her career reached its climax when she created the role of Agathe in Messager’s VÉRONIQUE at Théâtre des Bouffes Parisiens, Paris, on 10 December 1898, then the part of Fiorella in Offenbach’s LES BRIGANDS in 1900 at the Théâtre des Variétés in Paris. In 1925 she sang at the Opéra-Comique in Paris in its première of VÉRONIQUE (together with her son, André). - Ashot Arkelyan

Yvonne George was discovered by Paul Frank, director of Olympia, during a stay in Belgium. She made her début in Paris on 8 October 1920. Acclaimed rather quickly by the intellectual milieu of Montparnasse, she was nicknamed ‘The Muse of Montparnasse’, but throughout her career she had to fight to win. It must be said that she was a true tragedian and an interpreter of marine folklore, but in addition to fighting for her talent, Yvonne George was constantly fighting for her own life; this excessive woman lived in alcohol, cocaine, and opium. Yvonne George was the first great love of poet Robert Desnos. She was the star for which he wrote some of his best poems. He was completely crazy about her, even going so far as to get drugs to make sure that his beloved lacked nothing. Desnos desperately tried to get closer to the Star he so loved by following her in her artificial universe but in vain ... her love was never shared. Robert Desnos declared ‘Yvonne George expresses with all her gestures, her attitude, her very existence; she was not a woman,but a flame. She was better than intelligent: sensitive, more than beautiful and moving. The modern woman, so long calumniated by fools, found in her her highest expression’." -Theodore Fraenkel, 1956, Algiers

Léon Campagnola, originally a baritone who converted to tenor while undertaking further studies in Paris, was called by the critics of his time 'The French Caruso'. Campagnola made his début at Versailles in 1903 as Vincent in MIREILLE by Gounod. He spent the next five years in Belgium, moving to France in 1908 where he débuted at l’Opéra in 1910 as Roméo. He remained at that house (singing David in DIE MEISTERSINGER, the Duke in RIGOLETTO, Armel in Chabrier’s GWENDOLINE, and Faust) until 1913 in which year he sang Gennaro in the French première of Wolf-Ferrari’s I GIOIELLI DELLA MADONNA. He then appeared in several French provincial houses and in Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles where he sang with Mary Garden in Charpentier’s JULIEN.” -Zillah Dorset Akron

Émile Scaramberg’s [recordings] are undeniably among the great treasures of pre-1914 French singing. They reveal a remarkably phonogenic voice of considerable intrinsic beauty, effortlessly produced, even throughout its range, admirably supported, and particularly impressive in piano singing. Equally importantly, they show Scaramberg to be a committed performer, a tasteful yet generous artist who, not just seemingly undaunted by the unenviable conditions under which the recordings were made, always conveys the impression that he is going to try to give the performance of his life. One can only marvel at the thought of the extraordinary roster of forts ténors the Paris Opéra had on its roster when he sang there between 1903 and 1907: Affre, Rousselière, Alvarez, Muratore, and others. On the evidence of his recorded legacy, Scaramberg may have been the best of them.” - Vincent Giroud, Marston Program Notes
