| Maurice Renaud - Selections from Damnation of Faust (Berlioz)Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:32:18 -0800 by merrihewOne more Maurice Renaud posting. This time singing two selections from Berlioz' Damnation of Faust: Voici Des Roses and Devant La Maison. Both recorded for G&T in 1906. This posting benefits from the fact that I used a circa 1950 HMV repressing which is in vastly superior sound compared to the original pressings. I know that there are run out grooves here which were missing on the originals but its obvious that they were grafted on. A spectacular pair of records. See my Renaud Wagner posting for pictures and more info. Related: maurice renaud berlioz faust g&t hmv |

He was, at one time, the highest-paid performer in the world, and was the first British performer to sell more than a million records. His appeal was not only limited to popular tastes; he was a favourite of King Edward VII and a friend of Sir Thomas Lipton, the tea merchant.When World War I broke out, Lauder was in Melbourne on one of his Australian tours.During the war, he led successful fundraising efforts for war charities, organised a tour of music halls in 1915 for recruitment purposes, and entertained the troops under enemy fire in France.He suffered personal tragedy during the war, when his only son, John, a captain in the 8th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, was killed in action. For his services during the war, Lauder was knighted in January 1919.Sir Harry wrote most of his own songs, favourites of which include Roamin' in the Gloamin', I Love a Lassie, A Wee Deoch-an-Doris, and Keep Right on to the End of the Road.Sir Harry, made hundreds of recordings over the span of his career. This is the 1928 HMV 78 recording of "A Wee Deoch-an-Doris"Sir Harry's final retirement was announced in 1935. However, he again entertained troops during World War II, despite his age, and made wireless broadcasts with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. He also appeared immediately after the war to thank the crews of American food relief ships docking at Glasgow. His last years were spent in his home of Lauder Ha' at Strathaven, where he died in February 1950, aged 79. Related: "old time music hall" "sir harry lauder" "a wee deoch-an-doris" "hmv 78 record." |
