Amelita Galli-Curci - "The Gypsy And The Bird" (Benedict) 

I have always loved this recording ; it was the first 78 that I was ever given , by a friend of my father , who was an opera singer , when I was an enthusiastic boy soprano . I am so pleased to find it here , thank you .

What a beautiful tone and excellent delivery.

Meravigliosa

Amelita Galli-Curci was far superior to Joan Sutherland in my opinion! Imagine how G.C. would have sounded with modern recording techniques.

Does anyone know when this was first performed - or composed? Thanks.

Could any one put up the lyric?

Is she singing English?
