Alma Gluck - Nightingale Song

recorded 2/18/1916
from "The Tyrolean"
bird voices by Charles Kellogg

Alma Gluck (born Reba Feinsohn; May 11, 1884-October 27, 1938), was an American soprano, one of the world's most famous female singers at the peak of her career (around 1910). Marcia Davenport was the child of her first marriage (to Bernard Gluck); Alma Gluck later married violinist Efrem Zimbalist and had two children, Efrem Jr. (Stephanie Zimbalist's father) and Maria.

Gluck was born to a Jewish family in Iaşi, Romania, the daughter of Zara and Leon Feinsohn.[1] Gluck moved to the United States at a young age. Although her initial success came at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, Gluck later concertized widely in America and became an early recording artist. (info. from Wiki)

I have heard of "Alma Gluck" off and on all my life. I have allways pictured in mind of an old snooty hag. This is the first time I have ever ran across her singing. Now I feel out of joint. She was fantastic. I was four years old when she died. Thank You, pax41!
