For some time there has been wide demand for a reissue of this Florence Foster Jenkins album.Few artists ever gave such unalloyed pleasure as Florence Foster Jenkins. For years her annualrecital at the Ritz-Carlton was a private ceremonial for the select few - her stubbornly loyal circleof clubwomen and the adventurous cognoscenti.

Finally, on the evening of October 25, 1944,Madame Jenkins took the big step: forsaking the brocade atmosphere of a fashionable hotelballroom, 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.
