| Geraldine Farrar was, for many years, the prima donna assoluta of the Metropolitan Opera. She is remembered as having one of the best soprano voices of her time and yet, those who know her through her recorded output on Victor, are missing the magic that is Farrar. This two CD set, instead, captures Farrar when she made her earliest, finest, and scarcest recordings for G & T (1904-1906). These rare and stunning recordings are fresh, exciting, and expressive and demonstrate Farrar in ?best voice.? This set also chronicles Farrar at the end of her career when technology provided an opportunity to hear her ?true? voice during the 1920s and 1930s. While none of these were issued at the time, these test pressings and unpublished Bell Laboratory test-recordings of 1934 provide a glimpse of her brilliance. | |||||
