EvaTurner - Il Trovatore - D'amor sull' eli rosee - Columbia L2156 enregistré en juin 1926 Dame Eva Turner, DBE (10 March 1892 – 16 June 1990) was an English dramatic soprano with an international reputation. Her strong, steady and well-trained voice was renowned for its clarion power in Italian and German operatic roles. Eva Turner was born in Werneth, Oldham, Her first formal singing lessons were with Dan Rootham, the teacher of the contralto Clara Butt. From 1911 to 1914, she studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London. She began her career as a chorister with the Carl Rosa Opera Company and steadily took on larger roles such as Kate Pinkerton and the lead role of Cio Cio San in Madama Butterfly, Micaela in Carmen, Musetta in Puccini's La bohème, Santuzza in Cavalleria rusticana, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni, Elisabeth in Tannhäuser, Freia in Das Rheingold, Elsa in Lohengrin, Brünnhilde in Der Ring des Nibelungen, Leonora in La forza del destino, Leonora in Fidelio, Eva in Die Meistersinger, and the title roles in Aida, Tosca (in one performance of which the famous incident with a trampoline occurred) [1] and Thaïs. In 1924, after an audition for the La Scala company in Milan, she was engaged by its principal conductor Arturo Toscanini as Freia and Sieglinde for the La Scala Ring Cycle of 1924–25. She also played the title role in Turandot. She was in the audience for the April 1926 premiere at La Scala and first sang it in December that year at the Teatro Grande in Brescia. In 1928, she performed it at the Covent Garden (also playing Aida and Santuzza during the season), and in 1929, she took the part at La Scala. Recordings of her Turandot recorded live at Covent Garden in 1937 with Giovanni Martinelli as Calaf and John Barbirolli conducting remained unissued at the time but were released on EMI CD CDH 7610742 in the 1980s. When Ralph Vaughan Williams composed his Serenade to Music for 16 leading singers of the day he included lines for Eva Turner, but separated them from those for the other three sopranos. A 1938 recording of the work, conducted by Sir Henry Wood and made immediately after the premiere, captures Turner's voice in the lines Vaughan Williams wrote for her [this was issued by Columbia on 2 12" 78 rpm discs, LX 757/58, and later re-issued on a 7" microgroove disc, SED 5553. It is now on CD from Dutton Vocalion. She retired from the concert stage in 1948 Source: Wikipedia

Cyril Rootham +••.••(...)): Symphony No. 2 in D major, for orchestra with choral finale (1936–38) ("The Revelation of St. John"; incomplete; completed by Patrick Hadley) Scottish Philharmonic Chorus with the BBC Scottish Symphony, Vernon Handley, conducting. British composer Cyril Bradley Rootham composed the Symphony No. 2 towards the end of his life. It is subtitled "The Revelation of St. John," yet I am not certain from which specific passage from the Book of Revelation the text is taken. Due to health issues, Rootham, was unable to complete this work, and he asked fellow composer Patrick Hadley to do the honors. The work consists of four movements, the final movement employing female voices. This performance was taken off the air during a performance, date unknown. NOTE: The Symphony No. 2 in its entirety has been issued on Lyrita REAM.2118. This is a BBC recording made available through the Lyrita Recorded Edition Trust Archives. It is superb quality and was recorded in 1975. It is a 2 CD set including the Rootham "Ode on the Morning of Christ's Nativity." It is well worth the price and a wonderful addition to a British music recording collection! / jk / from the collection of John Carter of Leicestershire, G.B.
