Maria Galvany recorded an "interesting" interpretation of the aria for Victor. Her Edison and Pathéepigramophone wrote:The most famous acoustic recording of the Queen of the Night aria was made by Frieda Hempel for HMV/Victor, although I prefer Maria Ivogun on Odeon. Hempel also recorded for Edison, notably on Royal Purple cylinders, but unfortunately she did not include that aria.
There are a few operatic gems among the Blue Amberols and Royal Purples, but the majority of the top singers were already under exclusive contract to HMV and Victor. Even Columbia struggled to compete until they did a deal with Fonotipia, enabling them to issue some of their superb recordings.
versions are somewhat less manic.
The Victor version is relatively easy to find. The Edison waxing turns up on 28000 Blue Amberol, and can be had with little trouble, though perhaps a bit of expense.
