tionally fine voice, and the intelligence of her performances. Her voice is, strictly speaking, a mezzo-soprano, and she shows in her peculiarly smooth and limpid tone the influence of her teacher, Mme. Marcella Sembrich. Mme. Giannini has won triumphs in London on the concert platform, but she has not as yet appeared in opera there. In Hamburg, however, they were more fortunate, and her appearance in “Aida” evoked enthusiasm. She was hailed by one of the critics as “the greatest ‘Aida’ of all time,” an extravagance, perhaps, but you may be sure that such enthusiasm was evoked by sheer merit. Perhaps this record of two operatic airs will convey the reason. It is exceptionally fine. (H.M.V. D.A. 892.)
