Peter Dawson Dawson Mortimer Bateman Sir Charles Santley 1634 1900 1902 1904 1929
The Smuggler's Song sung by the famous bass-baritone Peter Dawson on HMV record number B3072 in 1929. The music was by Mortimer and Rudyard Kipling wrote the original poem. The Smuggler's Song by Rudyard Kipling Five and twenty ponies, Trotting through the dark - Brandy for the Parson, 'Baccy for the Clerk. Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie - Watch the wall my darling while the Gentlemen go by! In 1902, Kipling bought Bateman's, a house built in 1634 and located in rural Burwash in Sussex. The area had a long history of smuggling gangs and this poem is sung by a smuggler advising people to look the other way when the contraband is run through the village. Peter Dawson, generally recognized as one of the greatest baritones of the 1930s, was born in Australia and studied singing in Adelaide. Winning the first prize and gold medal at the famous Ballarat Festival in 1900, he was able to come to England where he studied with Sir Charles Santley for four years. He made his first gramophone record in 1904; since then many millions of Peter Dawson records were sold all over the world. Taken from the original record.

The Ballarat-born Australian flautist JOHN LEMMONE, a protege of Melba's, playing Mozart with another Melba protege, harpist Ada Sassoli, in New York in 1910. The play the FIRST (allegro) MOVEMENT (only) of Mozart's CONCERTO FOR FLUTE AND HARP. From wikipedia: "JOHN LEMMONE (22 June 1861 – 16 August 1949; also seen as John Lemmoné) was an Australian flute player and composer who was largely self-taught and who at the age of 12, paid for his first flute with gold he had panned himself on the goldfields at Ballarat. He had an international career as a soloist, and accompanied well-known singers such as Adelina Patti, Nellie Melba and Amy Sherwin, the pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski, and the violinist Pablo de Sarasate. Later in his career he became Nellie Melba's manager. He married Isabella Stewart in 1889 and over the next few years he again toured, with singers Janet Patey, Allan James Foley and Charles Santley, and violinist Pablo de Sarasate. Lemmone renewed his acquaintance with Nellie Melba in London in 1894. By this time, Melba was very well known in Europe, having sung at Covent Garden in 1888 and the Metropolitan Opera in 1893, and his contact with her further advanced his career. He accompanied her with flute obbligatos at fashionable social gatherings and at Queen's Hall, London. He also performed with Adelina Patti in Albert Hall, toured with her and in 1896 with Amy Sherwin in South Africa. When he returned to Australia in 1897, he changed career path and began work as a manager for international artists, including pianists Mark Hambourg and Paderewski as well as Melba. He also selected internationally known performers for the 1911 J. C. Williamson opera season. He continued to perform, however. At a reception held for him after his return from Europe, he performed so well that a critique in "The Sydney Morning Herald" reported: "... the varying moods of the dreamy undulating motions of the Nautch girl's dance or the swirling rhythm of the Hungarian dance, the piquant action of the mazurka, the majestic sweep of a Russian hymn, the delightful trill of the nightingale, and the restless fluttering of the butterfly in a garden of roses are delineated by Mr Lemmone with a sweetness of expression and accuracy of tone, even in the most difficult bravura passages, that cannot fail to charm the hearer." ADA SASSOLI was a young harpist when she accompanied several of Melba's tours in the first decade of the twentieth century, and she recorded with Melba on the Victor label in New York in 1907. This is another track to which frequency response deficiencies have been corrected by means of the spectral analysis "waterfall" graph being used as a guide to the control of peaks and dips by means of digital graphic and parametric equalisers. The record has a degree of wear (not surprising, considering its age) and there is some remnant distortion as a result, but I'm generally happy with this transfer. The recorded balance between the harp and the flute was not too good, so that Lemmone is heard far better than Sassoli's harp. Another disc from the Frank Puls collection - some of the music that he loved.
Sir Charles Santley Manuel Garcia John McCormack Handel Herman Klein Covent Garden 1834 1859 1903 1911 1913 1922 1943
Michael Scott wrote of Sir Charles Santley +••.••(...)) as 'the greatest Victorian singer to survive to make records.' Santley had an extraordinarily long career. He was born in Liverpool, England, studied in Italy and then returned to England to study under the great Manuel Garcia. He made his Covent Garden debut in 1859 (singing opera in English) and his Covent Garden farewell in 1911! As well as singing opera, he had a career in oratorio and as a concert singer. And he was highly regarded. John McCormack recalled his singing Handel 'with runs as I never heard man sing them before or since.' Bernard Shaw wrote of his fresh singing and unfailing method. Herman Klein opined in later years that although Santley's voice had lost its 'haunting beauty of tone' there still remained 'perfect phrasing' and a remarkable 'measure of energy, vigour and feeling.' Santley made two sets of recordings, the first for G&T in 1903 and the second for English Columbia in early 1911. It seems likely that the Columbia recordings were made to coincide with Santley's Covent Garden farewell, although ultimately they were not issued until 1913. Santley was 77 at the time, and it is no surprise that his voice is smaller and drier than in the earlier recordings, but the Columbias are still an important souvenir of a great Victorian singer - so important that they remained in the catalogue until 1943.

UK Columbia 373 Sir Charles Santley was born in 1834. This was three years before Victoria became Queen of England. Queen Victoria would reign for near 64 years. Charles Santley would be performing for 14 years after her death in 1901. This recording was made by the Columbia Graphophone Company. He is not the earliest singer to record commercially, but one of that small gang of performers who did. Santley was 79 when he made this recording. It is an old voice, but very firm and still a secure one. He was an amazing and unique singer. Here is a singer who made his debut in 1857..At this writing 158 years ago.
