Today’s find is Louise Homer, Amilcare Ponchielli, La Gioconda, Voce Di Donna, recorded in 1906. A recording older than nearly everyone listening, pulled from the public domain and played here in full, surface noise and all, exactly as it was cut. The Archivist changes nothing; the dust is part of the document. Nothing added, nothing taken away. Here it is.” The remainder is the unedited recording described above.
