DAME CLARA ELLEN BUTT (DBE) (1 February 1872 – 23 January 1936), sometimes called Clara Butt-Rumford after her marriage, was an English contralto with a remarkably imposing voice and a surprisingly agile singing technique. Her main career was as a recitalist and concert singer.
Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

One has to remember that for Clara Butt this would be 'modern music' - contemporary classical. She does some moving singing here with lovely interpretive touches. This must be close to the singing style that was in vogue at the premiere. Including some swooping portamento notes which may sound exaggerated to modern ears.. She was undoubtedly great.

Do you have "The Key to Heaven?" I Love that one, but cannot find it anywhere.

Fascinating. She recorded four sides of Gerontius. If you have the other three I would dearly love to hear them.

@brychar66 Although I have quite a lot of Clara Butt's recordings I don't have the other Gerontius discs. Should I manage to obtain them you can be sure that I will post them.
