About this film

Die Afrikanerin: Ballade (Hei Adamastor - Meyerbeer) 25 cm Gramophone & Typewriter 3-42727 Matrix Nr. 9938 u Leopold DEMUTH - Bariton (& Orch.) rec. 1906 On the other side: 3-42728 Zar ud Zimmermann: "Czarenlied" (Sonst spielt ich) Note: This record sounds "too fast" to me, so I made a copy at 75,2 revolutions per minute. This is no great numerical difference, but it makes a great difference in the sound and naturalness of the recording. The 78 rpm version is given, too. Many early Gramophone recordings should run a bit slower than 78 rpm...
