Florence Foster Jenkins

Truly Unforgettable.. Florence Foster Jenkins

On the evening of October 25, 1944, **Madame Jenkins** took a big step: forsaking the brocade atmosphere of a fashionable hotel ballroom, she braved Carnegie Hall. The venue was sold out weeks in advance. Two of the numbers she performed that night are contained in this album, taped at private recording sessions of famous soprano arias some years earlier in New York's Melotone Studios. Thanks to these recordings, we can still enjoy the glory of a voice that, in a very peculiar way, has enriched the lives of many generations of music-lovers.
