Again, my idol


This is a recording of Nellie Melba singing the Lucia cadenza with flute. The recording was made in 1904 in London. She was not only a staple of Covent Garden (singing her farewell concert there in 1926), but also sung at the Metropolitan Opera House well into her mid-sixties.

This is via youtube.
