Found A Note in Japanese in Record Storage Box

[52089]

I call your attention to Victrola 4131-A. Something ethereal about that one.

Definitely not traditional Japanese music! More like Puccini. Singer has a lovely voice; reminds me of Galli-Curci.

I loaded this to YouTube and this is what the copyright police there are calling it:

関屋　敏子-恋はやさし〜喜歌劇「ボッカチオ」より　　　Hab' Ich Nur Deine Liebe

by Franz von Suppe

Cliff

That seems to be correct based on comparison with Youtube cuts of that title. However, copyright no longer applies to the composition since Von Suppe died in 1895!

Surprise to me! Definitely not in the same style category as the oft-played and recorded overture to "Dichter und Bauer" (Poet and Peasant).

Finally got the entire collection recorded and posted to my web page at:

Mostly pre-1930 traditional Japanese music and bunraku. Almost 6 hours of recordings. Whew!
