4.0 out of 5 stars Telefuncun Recordings From the Past., January 25, 2001
This review is from: Telefunken Solo Recordings Operatic Arias (Audio CD)
It is good news that a Telefuncun legacy series is being released. In the era of 78s, Telefuncun recordings were regarded as something special. Recording techniques seemed to be in a class of their own, being especially favourable to singers.

Hilde Konetzni (1905-1980) and Helge Roswaenge (1897-1972) were singers I heard in opera in Vienna. Konetzni made 8 records for Telefuncun in the 1937 - operatic arias with especially fine accompaniments conducted by Dr Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt. Only four are included here, although there is room for the CD to accommodate more of them. Roswaenge's were made a few years earlier and are remarkable more for spirited singing than for beauty of voice.

Everything is sung in German. Restorations and transfers are excellent. Enriching the package, which also includes several rather dim photographs, are notes provided by the authority on opera singers on record, John Steane.
