The names and life dates printed on the cover (Minghini-Cattaneo, contralto 1892 - 1944; D'Alvarez, contralto 1886 - 1953) identify two early twentieth-century singers whose recordings capture classic operatic arias and ensemble moments from composers such as Ponchielli, Verdi, Bizet, Saint-Saëns and Mendelssohn. Both singers were known for the warm lower female voice associated with contralto roles and for performing dramatic and lyrical material from the standard operatic repertoire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis release compiles selections attributed to each artist and gathers both electrically and acoustically recorded tracks (the sleeve notes indicate that tracks 13, 15, 16 and 19 are acoustic recordings). The issue carries the Club \"99\" imprint (catalog CL 99-54) and presents the singers in a historical compilation format, offering listeners a survey of notable contralto arias and concerted numbers drawn from period recordings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracks 13, 15, 16, 19: Acoustic recordings.\u003cbr\u003eTotal running time: 75' 52\".\u003cbr\u003eRecord label: Club \"99\" (CL 99-54).
