That is one of the musical bits from the Spanish operetta "Katiuska, la mujer rusa" (Katiuska, the Russian women) composed by Pablo Sorozabal with libretto of Emilio González del Castillo and Manuel Marti Alonso, the premiere was in 1931 in Barcelona. Those where the actors wich premiered in Madrid in 1932, Enriqueta serrano married Pablo sorozabal a year after the recording.

He has a book "Health Through Common Sense" it has pictures of the two (2) exercises presented here, plus one extra! He was a proponent of muscle control with Maxick. Cheers

I’m so sad this guy passed away😢

When Britan ruled the world. Now the world rules Britain. Very sad.

I believe this was composed by Herman Rowland in 1886 as "With the Tide Schottische." I was delighted to play it along with a quintet of classic banjo players two days ago.

Your cynicism is despicable, but thanks for posting this.

i'm hoping more people find this song now! it's very beautiful

Hur, Hur, hur hur, Hur, Hur, Hur Hur, Hur Hur.

Here in Australia you cant see the FA Cup final unless you have pay TV, Football (soccer) plays second fiddle to the indigenous,village green style footy, AFL, Rugby League and 'spare me'cricket, any way. Brainwashing media, with their financial, barrows to push, see to that. Its not so much the game i miss ,but the tradition .Singing 'Abide with me" being perhaps the most endearing .You dont have to be religious, or even the Christian faith,Its purely and simpley ,tradition The Anthem of the FA cup,The oldest knock out competition in the world

Beautiful! Happy Victoria Day! Thx for sharing!

I'm here from The Boondocks.

What a beautiful voice and beautiful technique... I honestly and truly think I might kill to have a single voice that even approaches Clara Butt's in opera today

101

Phenomenal and rare

Joey biden was only 23 when this was recorded.

play it at 2x speed and suddenly you are in the SCUMM bar on Melee Island

Thank you for this. I Have my Great, Great Grandfathers Decca RD 631877. Similar style and sound, also with a Swiss built Mechanism.

Great to hear the song sung by another in 1929 not Josef Locke,

Matins as they should be rendered not many of us keep these traditions going

The composer is Saint-Saens not Gounod😉

Same here, watch Adam Mark explores and mentioned this song while exploring

What a ghastly sound!

How much we have lost

Wow! I didn’t know he covered this!

This Columbia recording dates from December 9, 1919.

I can recommend this song as an Antidote to Earworms. Simply sing it yourself for a few days or a week and any pesky pop will be driven from the glimmering crevasses of your mind.

I camt here to listen to this song after i watched a programme Abandoned Houses Frozen In Time ..the record wss still on the Turn Table of a 1975 Bush Player ..

Superb diction from Darrell Fancourt.

I shall add a comment here. I recently got access to my great-grandmother's notebook with a few lyrics on it. This is one of the songs in that relic. I want to believe she listened to it on a gramophone like yours :) Thanks!

Wow quite a rare one you’ve got there, recorded around 1934. One of their later recordings.

I had a HMV wind up gramophone in the late 50s and played this 78 often. When I later heard Kate Bush sing Wuthering Heights I was struck by how like Barbara Diu she sounded. Not heard this since I was about 10!

Although the HMV 112 and the EMG are obviously more desirable, my choice for a portable would be the teak 101. As it's more of a portable than the other two and i already own a HMV 113 'transportable', as the 112 and the EMG could be fittingly called as well.

Such a beautiful song

This song was found in an old abandoned Welsh farmhouse in this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8pzpMJmv8iUqJs.html

I was watching Adam Mark Explores and he came across this on a record player…

Still the best version I ever heard.

I'm not sure if it was Edison production, but generally speaking, Edison's choice of music for recording on his cylinders was horrible. Apparently he had no idea of good music.

Fascinating to hear Isobel Jay in whose name a prize was offered annually to a talented pupil at the Royal Academy of Music. A notable recipient was Ann Hood , soprano and later Mezzo Soprano who sang and recorded with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company and the English National Opera.

You didn’t need to be so rude , I thought it was a great bit of fun

Very awesome to have this!❤

When I went to the bar as a very young man they kicked me out because I was underage. HEY OH! Thank you, thank you, I'm here until I have to get on stage for my big number.

I love this! ❤

I like this song, i dont know why you would say its awful

How wonderful!

Amazing! I think he’s a great singer. I don’t know why the announcer would call the performance dismal. 🤷‍♀️

Wow❤ very special
