Emmy Destinn, the Czech dramatic soprano regarded as one of the supreme voices of the early recording era, sings Ave Maria and Handel's Hallelujah on Odeon RX500. The RX prefix is an unusual Odeon series designation; Destinn's recordings are among the most prized of all early operatic 78s, and her Odeon pressings are less commonly encountered than her HMV and Columbia sides.

The summary above was written by AI from what is known of the artist and the pressing. It is not a description of this copy's condition, and we have not checked every detail — ask us and we will tell you what we can actually see.
