by RETHBERG, Elisabeth 1894-1976
On a slip of ivory laid paper. Ca. 52 x 144 mm.
Slightly worn and creased. "Rethberg's beautiful lirico spinto soprano was perfectly equalized between the registers, and a combination of natural musicianship and sound training enabled her to maintain an unusually even legato in the most difficult passages. Rethberg made a large number of recordings, many of which reveal her rare beauty of tone and purity of style." Desmond Shawe-Taylor in Grove Music Online. (Inventory #: 27035)
