    "Johanna Gadski (15 June 1872 – 22 February 1932) was a German soprano blessed with a secure, powerful, ringing voice, fine musicianship and an excellent technique. These attributes enabled her to enjoy a top-flight career in New York City and London, performing heavy dramatic roles in the German and Italian repertoires." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johanna_Gadski Inscription on the photo says "To Lieut. Hodgkinson with best wishes and in remembrance of my "Liebestod" Record - Johanna Gadski - 1915" IMO "Liebestod" (love-death) is a scene (aria) in Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" (and "record" may stand for "scene" in this context I presume).

    "Record" may actually mean "recording." www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0fxxXroV1o is an upload of a recording she made in 1907 for Victor. The sound recording on Youtube is accompanied by some still photos, including another autographed copy of this one.
  • B-59 said:
    swanq Maybe - but I don't think that this track from 1907 has any relation to the photo from 1915. The inscription could refer to an audio recording in 1915 of course (though I hardly can imagine what a British Officer has to do with an audio recording). And if it refers to a gramophone record (disc), why is it on a photograph? Or perhaps Johanna Gadski sang this aria louder than any other opera singer before ... ;-)
  • swanq said:
    @B-59: I was imagining that the photo is promotional material that she had around to autograph for adoring fans and that the British Officer came up to her in 1915 and told her how much he loved the 1907 recording.

    It looks like she also recorded the aria in 1915: victor.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/matrix/detail/200006031...
