Victor 78 #64257 - "The Rosary" - John McCormack, tenor

A Victor Red Label released in the 1910's, and one of the "Big Three" in label names. Long considered as some of the finest sound recordings, this single-sided record still plays fine, with some gloss still showing. Mostly clean for a pretty fair sound! Light playwear but some scuffs and scratches show. No chips, cracks, or skips.

Side 64257 presents this Irish tenor and Orchestra performance of, "The Rosary", vocalized in English by John McCormack, best known for his ability as a concert performer and incomparable recitalist. Revered for his signature "closing pianissimi", a skill successfully achieved by few in the vocal world, only a few tenors have been unequivocally recognized for their lush vocal quality, elegant phrasing, outstanding diction, and remarkable breath support.
