Greetings from France,
Just displayed online one of these rare cylinders by Colonne on artistic
Pathés (1900-1901).
http://www.phonobase.org/13080.html
Visible on photos, nice to see... but almost inaudible...
Merry Xmas / Happy New Year !
Henri

>> Hello, Mr. Chamoux,
>>
>> Thank you for your help to us all. In that vein, have you a date the Edouard Colonne cylinders/discs were recorded?
>>
>> Wikipedia says a first group were cylinders, listed in the Pathe catalog of October, 1901, none of which have survived, and the second in 1906 which were issued as discs. Yet I'm certain that I've seen a photo of a cylinder box with his name as performer- but don't ask where or when.

>>> Hi Everyone,

>>> I am trying to date a Pathe disc recording by Albert Alvarez, the Flower Song from Carmen. This recording was on an old LP produced by Henry Herrold in 1959, Herrold 5000, which also contained a bunch of Mapleson cylinders from Aida Favia-Artsay's collection. Aida gave a catalog number of 1664 for this record, but a recent reissue by Malibran says 1640. Malibran gives a date of 1905, but if 1640 is really the catalog number, a more likely date would seem to be 1903. I've checked various on-line references - DAHR, Kelly - without success, along with a private Alvarez CD sold on eBay, which gives 1640 as the catalog number and "1903 (?)" as the date.

>>>
>>> 1664 is the catalog number of another recording, Les boeufs by Dupont, included on both the eBay CD and Malibran.
>>>
>>> Can anyone shed any light on the correct date and catalog number for this record?
