Celeste Quartette - Come all ye lads and lasses

Favorite master 6290-t, rec. London, 26 October 1911.
Four unkown singers with piano accompaniment.
Favorite records are always worth checking out: many of them are of high artistical standard, some feature very rare recordings by importat artists, and others are of great interest to ethnologists (anybody else know a company that recorded in Cologne, Zagreb, Nuremberg, Rio de Janeiro, Verona and countless other minor musical centres before 1910?) - this side is no exception to the rule.
I never heard of this group before, but I surely will try to buy anything I can get by them - for a European group recording before World War I the singers are wonders of precision and sure intonation. I had certainly not expected musicianship on that high level when I first played the disc.
