This is a further title recorded by Kirkby Lunn on 29 June 1909 with orchestra conducted by Percy Pitt. Kirkby Lunn is all but forgotten nowadays, yet no less an authority than Sir Henry Wood praised her as 'a singer with a glorious voice and an even tone throughout a compass of well over two octaves, a singer with whom I never found fault in so much as a quaver in all the years I worked with her, and who never sang out of tune.' Herman Klein referred to her 'warm rich notes of true contralto quality.' Kirkby Lunn was a stage name, adopted quite early in her career. She was born Louisa Baker, the daughter of Manchester confectioner W. H. Baker and his wife Mary Elizabeth Kirkby. Her cousin was James Baker, who sang professionally and made many popular recordings under the name Stanley Kirkby. From Wikipedia: Kirkby Lunn (pronounced Kirby Lunn) had her early vocal training in her native city of Manchester, at All Saints Church. She sang there in the choir under Dr J. H. Greenwood, the church's organist, and later appeared at concerts in the city. In 1890, she obtained a place at the Royal College of Music in London and studied for three years with Albert Visetti, also training for opera... She also studied for some time with Jacques Bouhy in Paris. In 1895, she appeared in the first season of Promenade concerts for Henry J. Wood. Augustus Harris gave her a five-year contract almost upon first hearing... [In 1896] she joined the Carl Rosa Opera Company, performing as principal mezzo-soprano in London and on tour in the provinces in Carmen, Mignon, Lohengrin, Rigoletto and other works... She remained with the Carl Rosa until 1899, the year in which she married W. J. Pearson. She was particularly active in the 1900–1901 Queen's Hall season with Wood... From 1901 to 1914, Louise Kirkby Lunn appeared regularly at the Covent Garden, and for several of those years also in the United States, especially at the Metropolitan Opera in the seasons of 1902–03, 1906–08 and 1912–14. She was particularly successful in Wagnerian opera parts... Before the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, Kirkby Lunn had been in great demand for oratorio appearances on the European Continent, and she sang frequently as far afield as Budapest. New York also heard her during this period. In 1912, she had made a tour of Australia with William Murdoch, the celebrated pianist who had made his London debut two years earlier.... She died in London on 17 February 1930.
