Edison Records
from Blind Skeleton’s Three Tune Tuesday: 78rpm Records & Forgotten Songs
In this week’s episode of Three Tune Tuesday, we explore the diverse catalog of Edison Records, one of the pioneering forces in early 20th-century recorded music. Our journey begins with the sweeping orchestral sounds of Wagner’s Die Meistersinger Overture, performed by the American Concert Orchestra, which we’ll experience in two parts. Between these grandiose pieces, we’re treated to the sentimental charm of Walter Scanlan’s Sometime, a popular vocal hit from the 1920s. From classical grandeur to romantic ballads, this episode showcases the range of music that captivated early phonograph listeners and helped shape the world of recorded sound.
