Author:
Happily, there is more to come. The arias of Micaela and Mimi are delightfully sung, the fresh, well-defined tone used to more expressive effect. Welcome, too, is the Don Giovanni duet sung in Italian with the pleasing baritone Einar Norby; and it is good to hear Aksel Schiotz in the pretty duet from Little Kirsten. Edith Oldrup studied with Willem Harold, heard Nina Grieg and knew Carl Nielsen. She sang at the Royal Opera in Copenhagen from 1934 to 1949; and nothing is said in the booklet that might discourage birthday greetings to her at the age of 87 this year. The recordings are well transferred and will probably be new to most of us.'
