INTERVIEW: Victor Recording Artist Olive Kline Remembers (1976)

[eclecticdufus]

This is wonderful to hear. Thank you for uploading it. She is a fine singer. I played the final scene of Don Quichotte with Chaliapin for a group of opera fans when Seattle did it. They were impressed of course but everybody loved Olive at the end!

@Jazzbaby1973

Thank YOU!

Would love to hear the rest, too... but just don't have it!

[Jazzbaby1973]

@CurzonRoad I hear the entire interview is at Syracuse University. I've sent Larry Holdridge contact info for the guy there that just may be able to make a copy available. I'm hoping! :)

So glad you made this Olive Kline post. I first heard her on the Chaliapin record of Don Quichotte's farewell.

Welcome!

This is great! Absolutely great. Her observations are spot-on, (especially about the great and the near-great) and it is actually so refreshing to hear somebody from those days talk in a sensible and "non-correct" way about smoking and drinking. Boy,do I get tired of all the tedious correctnesses of our time. Sounds like a very likeable character! Thanks a lot for this!

@EdmundStAustell

As always... thank you, Edmund!
