Marcel Journet

AItalian National Anthem

Label: His Master's Voice
Catalogue number: 7-52093
Genre: Opera
Format: 78rpm shellac disc, 10 inch unless noted
Reference: #11142

Marcel Journet was a distinguished French bass who sang at the Paris Opéra and the Metropolitan Opera. This HMV pressing (7-52093) of the Italian National Anthem is an unusual side — a bass singing a patriotic piece rather than an operatic aria — but Journet's name gives it collecting appeal. The 7-52xxx catalogue range suggests an early acoustic pressing.

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.
