Emmy Destinn (Ema Destinnová) was one of the supreme dramatic sopranos of the early recording era, celebrated at Covent Garden and the Met. Columbia D3035 couples her Habanera (from Carmen, recorded 1904) with the Toreador Song sung by baritone Titta Parvis — a notable pairing on a large-format acoustic disc from the first decade of commercial recording.
