Fascinating - can't get used to hearing the melody in the lower octave 😊

connected with the comment about the other side and the potential dubbing method from cylinder, your clean up is very good but I think I can hear the twice rotation speed of the disc ( 160 vs 80 rpm )cyclic sweep noise in the early part of the disc and a big duplicator rumble at 32 seconds. Just a bit interested in the way these were mastered in the last couple of weeks. for all that the preservation to the cello tone is pretty good. fine playing .

I think according tot some recent information I read, that both USA and the British Pathe were recording on large master cylinders and transferring to lateral discs from 1921 until the slightly later then most conversion to electrical recording ( 26 /27) the odd noise at 1min 44 may well be a duplication artifact. The system makes for a playable studio master cylinder and some preservation of the higher frequencies inherent in the vertical recording technique. I cant be sure if this was done this way and a lot of stuff was in that fairly short period.

The sort of vocal range that could be reproduced quite well on acoustic recordings. Thanks.

Every recording is opening the whole world of music to the listener. Great performances show the never ending power of good music presented by first class musicians and newly recorded by you, the music loving specialist. Bravo! Thank you so much for doing this great work!❤️💚💜💖🎶⚜️

Perfectly Beautiful!❤

Lovely & peaceful. I like the rich tone of the instrument & the manner of playing. Thank you.

One of my favourite bits!!

Fine artistry!

Music that makes my heart and soul sing… and I ADORE the sound of the violin… masterfully played… 🌟 🎻 ❤️🎻🌟 Thank you so much for all these fantastic uploads! 🙏🍀

💝💝💝 TY

nice song but i cant find sheet music for this one

Well of course he was recording acoustically, playing into a recording horn: but the quality is certainly good. A different technique in those days, but very fine! Thanks.

音の感じでかなりマイクに近寄って録音してるのが分かるが、これ16年のエジソン録音なのか。 それでここまで音質良いんだな。 今の演奏家ほど演奏技術は無いんだろうが、それを十分にカバー出来るほどの味と言うかセンスで聴かせるからなかなか聞けるなあ。 戦前のティボーやエルマンなどの演奏家は面白さとかを重視してるから今聴いても悪くないのが多くて凄いよねって感じます。

I believe that if someone listened to this upload without reading the description they'd never guess that this was recorded over a century ago, such is the quality of sound. Add to that the exceptional playing and it's easy to sit here fully involved. Very many thanks for posting.

One of the most lovely pieces of violin music ever, and played so beautifully. Spalding must have been quite a violinist on this showing. Such a refined timbre that survives and is still spine-tingling in this wonderful and very old recording. Best wishes from George

If I keep hearing beautiful pieces of music like this on your channel……. I’ll be converted 😳 from Jazz and Big Band 😳🫤🙂

Fine that it took "J" number of takes to get the performance wanted. One assumes that each previous take was listened to carefully and perhaps even adjustments to the reading/interpretation would follow. This is one useful aspect of the gramophone as a method of improving the next public performance! At least this "one" wonderful take and not some melange of edited snippets! Of course the result is glorious! Edison certainly made some great recordings! Best wishes from George

Lovely lighter classical music, performed, or so it seems to me, with wonderful energy and style. Thank you and best wishes from George

just wonderful playing!

Fantastic, another Sodero conductor, many thanks for this rediscovery!

Fantastic performance. Thanks.

Amazing sound! ❤

❤❤❤

Nice transfer treatment for a modern playback, The Edison "dead " studio on the record would of course be supplemented by the diamond disc machine cabinet and the room it was played back in to which I think was the intention the channel acousticedison does do this in a room that matches the sort of surroundings it needs. I think that even in the modern era both close mic and full room sound methods are argued about.

Nice job thank you, VS. 👍

💝💝💝 TY

Fine dexterity, flexible & well-judged phrasing & admirably decisive tone production - a violinist of quality. Delightful. Thanks!

Pleasantly tuneful & played with merry tidiness. Nice one, thanks.

great stuff,,probably done in one take with no fancy electronic sound enhancers etc,,amazing love the clarinetist,,very centered tone as opposed to todays player who all have the same round/spread tone,,not my idea of a great tone

How did he do it?

A rare treat to hear this Trio! So reflective of the playing of that time. 😊 🤗 Thank you for posting!

I love old fashioned hymns. They bring me wonderful memories, contrary to the godless CCM the music industry is playing right now.

I have photos of both Joseph and Oliver but not sure how to post them here. They were my gt grandfather and gt gt grandfather

Listening to this recording in your lovely vivid transfer, with the Queens Hall organ pedals thundering in the last few bars, I'm led to recall that the conductor knew the "meaning" of the "enigma", the significance of the three asterisks, and would have remembered his friend Jaeger/Nimrod telling him to extend the finale. And all of this from a man who was the son of a High Street tradesman in provincial England, with no academic training.

Wow! I knew this recording from the 78s at school in the early 1970s. I never had it on LP, but do have it on the 1993 CD transfer on EMI. The performance requires no comment from me, but I do know that composer and the Gramophone Company were very pleased with Elgar's first recording using the electrical process. And it is a surprise to me how much better your transfer is over EMI's own, which was made from fresh pressings from the master parts. The EMI should have been better than it actually is. With your transfer, you can tell the orchestra is playing this as if it really means something! Best wishes and thanks from George

I've loved this set since I first heard it as an LP transcription around half a century ago. Since then I've acquired the original 78 album as featured at the start of your upload plus several CD copies. I've added to that a DVD and several other versions including a Piano Roll duet version played by Cuthbert Whitmore (1877-1927) and Dorothy Manley. The Piano Roll is most enjoyable and I like to think that if Elgar himself had devised it using a Piano this is what it would have sounded like. At the Elgar Birthplace Museum they have the Gramophone give to Elgar by HMV (although it's not in a useable condition) and an identical model on which you can hear Elgar's own recordings.

Fabulous!

Another all too rare piece of music in today's concert hall. This is a very beautiful and well played rendering. Elgar's Meditation [Light of Life] - also uploaded today - shows something similar. In some ways the Edison is actually better than the HMV Western Electric recording! Of course it has to be said that the music in the Elgar is right up my street! But the value of the historic gramophone as a whole is something that modern performers would do well to remember. The examples of true style are there for anyone truly interested to study. Worth more than thousands of printed musicological words! Both performances are direct and wonderfully transparent emotionally. Best wishes from George

I have loved this music since discovering it in this very recording on a contemporary shellac disc in 1972. Over the next three years I grooved it out with use. It strikes me not only as an ideal performance, but quite something as a recording. The French horns astound in their quality. Very well balanced, so it hardly matters that the celli and bass are assisted with a tuba! Thank you for bringing this lovely old recording to many new people nearly a century after it was done! Best wishes from George

Nice performance. I can easily visualize Elgar leading the ensemble with his large, lengthy baton. Thanks, as ever.

Compassion in sound. Lovely, profound, sincere. Many thanks for this!

Another Sodero! This series is very beautiful! Many thanks

another great vintage recording..i would rather listen to these than the flashy new orchestras,,they have no soul

I enjoyed these two Mignon records immensely, and both present music I simply have never heard before. Edsion records certainly were ahead of their time - at least as transfers! In the UK I never came across one Edison record as the gramophones of the time were of the traditional transverse vibrating groove type so Hill and Dale would not have worked on them. In the US the situation was probably different. Back to the music, it is charming and it is a pity that such music has all but disappeared from either concerts or mainstream recording demands. As for the playing it immensely fine. Thanks for educating still fresh sixty-two year old ears! Best wishes from George

The polonaise was often recorded and is featured in a scene in the "Life and Death of Colonel Blimp " 1943 where he mentions it as a "the only phonograph record we had in the block house" ( presumably 2nd Boer war ) and the tune precipitates a diplomatic incident and a duel with and German ex POW .

Fantastic! Thank you dear John, I love these orchestral selections from works that were popular in the 78 rpm era. And Sodero is still great.

Great vintage music...since I am a clarinetist..I love to listen to the great old players...not sure who this one was/is but the solo at the very beginning was fantastic..todays player just do not seem to have the beautiful tone of these players of the past

Wow! Thanks for sharing one of my favorite musics in opera. I've learned so many great singers and songs from your videos. Btw, I was desperately looking for Rococo recordings of Mdm Kerstin Thorborg which contains her only recordings of her amneris and so many unpublished recordings...I was so desperate for that recording but I couldn't find it anywhere. But recently I've found it on the internet. Could you purchase it and share the whole recording with us please? I'm so sorry for asking😢 but Mdm Thorborg is my Idol since I fell in love in opera 3 years ago and I'm only 17 years old, and I can't afford a money to buy good record players...And I had planned to buy it and share it on my youtube channel when I become an adult, but I realized that I can't share it in good sound quality. Your videos however, has the most beautiful sound qualitys among youtubers who post Lp musics.. It is also cheap..only 4 euros. Sorry if I was acting rude, and sorry for my bad english. I want you to give the URl, but youtube constantly erases it. Once again, I'm very sorry for asking..😥 You may find an internet shopping place in Japanese if you search it on the Google like this, Rococo recordings, KERSTIN THORBORG PIECES BY GLUCK VERDI ZANDONAI SAINT SAENS AO

You are not going to believe this, but I had this 78 when I was little, in the early 1940s. I've been hunting for it and today I finally got lucky. I've just listened to both sides, the Paul Rubens and the Ivan Caryll and I remember every note. Thank you so much!
