Alessandro Moreschi was the last castrato to make recordings, captured by the Gramophone Company in Rome in 1902 and 1904. If this disc is one of those sessions — described here as 'Concert' label catalogue 54779 — it would be among the most historically significant records in any collection. The label name as catalogued does not correspond to a standard Gramophone Company designation, so the label attribution requires physical verification before any assessment can stand.

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.
