Kapell, William (Klavier) - Broadcasts and Concert Performances, 1944-1952 - William Kapell, 1922-1953, is a name that still resonates with pianophiles more than 60 years after his tragic death in an airplane crash near San Francisco. We are pleased to announce a three-CD set of Kappell performances that have never been issued on CD. In fact more than two thirds of the set is previously unpublished in any form. Among the highlights are two 1952 half-hour studio broadcasts from New York's WQXR that have only recently come to light. The set will also include a 1949 performance of Richard Strauss's Burleske, a 1951 performance of Debussy's Suite Bergamasque, and Schumann's Piano Quintet in E-flat with the Fine Arts Quartet dating from the same year. The booklet will include several photos that have not previously been published and an unpublished piece on Kapell by pianist Raymond Lewenthal, 1923-1988.

Nineteenth-Century Italian Tenors - Fiorello Giraud, Giovanni de Negri, Francesco Signorini, Leopoldo Signoretti, Eduardo Garbin, Alfonso Arulli, and Fernando Valero - Fiorello Giraudite (1868 - 1928) had a highly successful career throughout Italy and parts of South America and was well-respected both in Wagnerian and verismo roles. He will be remembered For creating the role of Canio (Pagliacci). His strong, vibrant voice was first captured on eight very rare G&T records. In 1916 and 1917, he recorded an additional 12 sides For Italian HMV, all song titles. This compilation will include all 20 of his published sides. Giovanni Batista de Negri (1850 - 1923) was particularly associated with the role of Otello, toured throughout Italy, and had a career that was cut short (1896) due to a series of operations For an unmentioned "malady." In 1902, however, he recorded For the Zonophone company, forever leaving his mark. Francesco Signorini (1860 - 1927) achieved success singing Turiddu (Cavalleria rusticana) in Florence in 1890; appeared at La Scala in 1897; and appeared in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and South America in 1907. He gave up singing in 1910 to teach in Rome. His HMV recordings are very rare, including the scenes from Chatterton, which were issued on an early Marston release. Leopoldo Signoretti's birth date ranges from 1840 to 1850, the former seeming more plausible. His earliest traced performances were in Il barbiere di Siviglia at the Teatro Solis, Montevideo in May 1875. In 1884 he went to Bologna For Tannhäuser and the world premiere of Isora di Provenza by Luigi Mancinelli. At Madrid, in the 1884-1885 season he sang La Gioconda, Faust, Aida, L’Africana, Lucia di Lammermoor (with Sembrich and Battistini), Il principe di Viana (Manuel Fernandez Grajal), Il trovatore, Ernani, Un ballo in maschera, and Lohengrin. He recorded only five documented Zonophone sides, and in many ways, these are the most impressive of this quartet of early Italian tenors

Supervia, Conchita -The Complete Vol.5 - After the publication of volume four, the “un-findable” tracks finally came to light. If their whereabouts had previously been known, they would have been included in their chronological position within the Supervia discography and there would be no need For a fifth volume. The fact that they have only recently been located, however, gives rise to the opportunity of presenting twelve alternative takes, not included in the first four volumes. As an appendix to the Conchita Supervia recordings, Marston is pleased to offer María Barrientos in her only electric recordings singing songs of Manuel de Falla with the composer at the piano

Lubin, Germaine - The complete Recordings - The French dramatic soprano, Germaine Lubin (1890-1979) will be remembered For her stunning Wagnerian portrayals, her striking beauty, and the accusations of Nazi sympathies that shaped her later life and career. Lubin received her initial training at the Paris Conservatory; debuted at the Opéra-Comique as Antonia in Les contes d’Hoffmann; studied with Felia Litvinne; sang Isolde at Covent Garden under Thomas Beecham, to Lauritz Melchior’s Tristan (1939); appeared in Berlin singing Kundry, Sieglinde and Strauss’s Ariadne with the composer conducting (1939); and depicted Sieglinde to Flagstad’s Brünnhilde under Furtwaengler (1939). This 2 CD set features Lubin's complete recorded output and includes two important essays that provide insight into the woman whose life was inextricably woven with her art: an essay by the French scholar Vincent Giroud on her life and career and a personal memoir by André Tebeuf. To complete this two CD set Marston will include recordings by Marcelle Bunlet and Lucienne de Méo whose first name has sometimes been incorrectly listed as Cléontine

Falling in Love is Wonderful - Ward Marston & Rosemary Benson - Songs from composers like Gershwin, Berlin, Porter, and Mancini (AD:2009) - Ward and I have performed together For many years. "While I never underestimated his virtuosity at the piano, I had taken For granted his ability to compose arrangements on the spot; on these recordings he is ingenious and inexhaustible, as facile at referencing Bach as Basie. For my vocals, Ward’s accompaniment is as much cradle as catalyst - a safety net and a slingshot. These are spontaneous and honest performances. We recorded each song several times, and every take had a different flavor. When we finished recording, we simply chose the versions that we thought were most effective. What would add to our pleasure in completing this project would be the knowledge that you enjoy listening as much as we did in recording." - Rosemary - lim.Sonderpreis

McCormack, John - A Star Ascending - This four-CD set includes operatic arias, Irish ballads, and popular songs from McCormack’s Odeon recordings dating from 1906–1909, as well as nine cylinder recordings of 1906 made For the Edison Bell and Russell Hunting companies. These early recordings are sometimes dismissed by admirers of McCormack and collectors of vocal art because they do not capture him at his artistic zenith. They are, however, almost unique in the history of the gramophone as they allow us to trace McCormack’s steady development, session by session, from his uneven, raw, and sometimes undistinguished singing in 1906 to performances showing him on the cusp of mastery by 1909 (AD:1906-1909) - Lieferzeit ca- 3-4 Wochen - nur noch als CDR lieferbar (von Marston produziert), ohne Begleitheft

de Lucia, Fernando (Tenor) - The complete Gramophone Company Recordings: 1902-1909 - Fernando De Lucia (1860 - 1925) is one of the most well-known tenors on early records. His recording career spanned 18 years and yielded some 300 sides. Although De Lucia portrayed a number of important verismo roles, his vocal technique was solidly grounded in the pre-verismo style. De Lucia is therefore viewed today as one of the most important links to the graceful and ornamental style of singing prior to verismo. His early recordings, which appear in this compilation, many of which are rare and highly sought-after, present a broad range of roles both bel canto and verismo. Although other historic labels have documented De Lucia's recordings, this release will provide new insight into De Lucia's recorded legacy by transcribing his records at play back speeds that Ward Marston is convinced are correct, yet remain controversial. The set will conclude with an ample selection of De Lucia's later recordings For the Phonotype label, which reflect his important operatic roles that were not represented on his Gramophone Company discs.
