(5 out of 5 stars)

""Legendary voices" and "More legendary voices" are excellent compilations (accompanied with two highly reccomended books by Nigel Douglas) of 78 rpm. recordings done 1911-1949.Althought this comes as sequel,there is nothing secondary about these artists,they simply didnt make it on volume one because of limited space (I guess it would make perfect double disc?).

These compilations also serve as a reminder where todays classical singers came from,how post WW" singing changed as compared to previous generations and perhaps also,how fleeting and disposable fame is - like some old family portraits,most of the people (except Callas and Ferrier) are not well known today and that is why we have to be grateful to "Nimbus Prima Voce" company to keep the tradition & carry the torch into new century.Personally,I found "Prima Voce" CDs always irresistible and so far have collected 14 of them,more on the way.Richard Tauber,John Mc Cormack and Beniamino Gigli are wonderful.Reccomended!"
