Price: $550.00
TWO SIGNATURES OF THE GREAT ITALIAN SOPRANO
CLAUDIA MUZIO. Record signed: "Claudia Muzio" twice
in ink on label (on front and on verso). Columbia recording of
Cecilia (both sides). Record made in England; blank sleeve. Muzio
sang this opera by Italian priest/composer Licino Refice late in her career.
Italian soprano Claudia Muzio (1889-1936) was known for her impressive stage
presence and emotional involvement in all the leading Verdi and Puccini
roles, including Tosca, Cio-Cio-San (in Madama Butterfly) and
Giorgetta. In addition to being a popular performer at the Metropolitan Opera
in New York City for seven seasons (she had made her debut there in
Tosca), Muzio was much in demand in the principal South American
opera houses. She also performed extensively in Italy, making notable
appearances under Toscannini at La Scala in 1926-1927, before singing mostly
thereafter in Rome, where she signed this program page. Muzio's unique voice
could also be heard on early (1917-1918) Pathé and Edison (1920-1925)
recordings as well as later Columbia recordings (1934-1935). Record
is broken into four sections, which someone has inexpertly tried to repair (glue
stains on record and label). Signature is split at the "Cla" of Claudia and the
"io" in Muzio on one side and at the "C" of Claudia and the "u" in Muzio on the
other side. Clear signatures.
