[78-L] john lemmone

[Christopher Steward]

Lemmone (b. 22 June 1861, d. 16 August 1949 in Australia) recorded 12 sides for Victor on 26 August, and 7 & 9 November, 1910. Two remained unissued. The piece by Wetzger, Am Waldesbach, has Melba as accompanist on the label, but doubts have been cast on this; she almost certainly accompanied Lemmone for the first two takes in August, but the 3rd take, the issued one, was recorded in November. 
He also recorded 4 obbligatos with Melba singing; the first, Soir Paien by Hue (recorded 19 May 1910) was unissued on 78s, but has been reissued on LP and now CD.  The others were recorded on 23 and 24 August 1910.
Back in Australia he recorded 4 sides for Columbia on 17 October 1935. These two discs rarely turn up.

Just wanted to share my latest happy find - after dropping off some rubbish
at the tip, called into the reuse shop, and after browsing the more obscure
sections, came across a lovely stash - still in their original sleeves,
around 100 or so discs, and to my delight, many of them single sided -
including 5 of john lemmone on flute.  Can anyone guide me on the background
to lemmone's recordings?

regards
Maria
