These two discs present all the published recordings Lucrezia Bori made for Victor in New York from 1925–-1928, plus the final sessions accompanied by George Copeland in 1937. Bori was born in Spain, but studied in Italy. She made her debut in 1908 in Rome and moved swiftly to Paris (1910) and the Metropolitan, New York (1912) where she sang until 1936. Her voice was of modest size, but produced with a clear and delicate timbre, and her performances were always passionate, charming, and intensely musical.
