Hi!

The record that comes to mind instantly would be Feodor Chaliapin 
singing Rubinstein's Persian Love Song, made around 1931 in London. 
He would have been almost 60yo by then. The recording quality is 
superb for its day, as well!

It's certainly not the most rare or valuable record in my collection 
but it's a performance that is just stunning, especially the final 
verse.

Earl Okin.
