Here is a vocal medley of Strauss waltzes from a ten inch Broadcast Twelve Super record.\u00a0\u00a0 As with the eight inch Broadcast records I have featured in previous postings, Broadcast Twelve was a bargain priced label produced by the British branch of Vocalion Records.\u00a0\u00a0 By using slightly narrow grooves,\u00a0 Broadcast Twelve was able to fit into a ten inch record a similar amount of content as a standard twelve inch record.<\/p>\n

You can find biographical information about Thea Philips here<\/a>.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate any information about William Parsons. \u00a0 From 1910 through 1930, conductor Walford Hyden toured with and worked as rehearsal pianist for the famous ballerina Anna Pavlova<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 He also wrote a book shortly after she died about his recollections of her.<\/p>\n

The label credit also mentions “original chorus and orchestra from the Alhambra, London.” \u00a0 The Alhambra Theatre<\/a> was located on London’s Leicester Square<\/a> and dated back to the 1850s.\u00a0 The theatre was demolished in 1936.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
