His Master's Voice 52678 Opera
Francesco Tamagno recorded 'Morte d'Otello' (the death scene from Verdi's Otello) for Victor (95002), an operatic vocal record. Tamagno (1850–1905) was an Italian operatic tenor of the late 19th century and the creator of the role of Otello. Though he died decades before this record was made, it is likely a reissue or cylinders transferred to disc, and early recordings of this role by the original interpreter are extremely rare and valuable to opera collectors.AI summary
