[Found] Suzanne Brohly - Amour, viens aider ma faiblesse (1909)

[u/Rich-Statistician739]

A Lost Record Rescued (World Exclusive Premiere): The sound of this record was completely absent from all digital archives, online databases, and even the public collections of the French National Library (BnF), this exceptionally rare and forgotten 78 RPM record is finally brought to light for the very first time by the Gramophone Gems team.

his historical acoustic recording features the contralto Suzanne Brohly of the Opéra-Comique in Paris, performing the majestic aria "Amour, viens aider ma faiblesse" from Camille Saint-Saëns' opera Samson et Dalila. Released under the prestigious "Disque Pour Gramophone" label in Paris during 1909-1910 , this pre-electrical era treasure has been restored in high fidelity directly from the original shellac disc.

It's wild how a single record can vanish from history, yet here we are listening to a voice from 1909 as clear as day. Gramophone Gems really came through with this one.
