Emmy Destinn (also spelled Destinová) was one of the supreme dramatic sopranos of the early twentieth century, celebrated at Covent Garden, the Met, and across Europe. Her recording of 'Kennst du das Land' (Mignon's aria from Ambroise Thomas's opera) on Columbia 40587 is a single-sided disc from her prolific acoustic recording career, likely made c.1906–1914. Destinn records are consistently sought by collectors of the Golden Age of singing.
