After a long absence from record collecting due to health reasons, I went to my local flea market in Athens and among many interesting records I found the following item:
 
Homokord
 
1st side - 1053 (mx. 15128A) D9T
Lohengrin's Abschlied (R. Wagner)
 
2nd side - 1057 (mx. 1298A) C27T

Schwanenlied (Lohengrin /R. Wagner)
 
According to the Homokord code, the recordings took place in 1907.
 
But the intriguing thing is that instead of the name of the tenor, it gives 3 stars
 
*** TENOR.
 
When I saw the record somehow I thought (and hoped...) that it was a Juan Raventos record (I'm trying to collect all his records) but then it seems that he hasn't recorded any Wagner.
 
Any ideas of who the singer might be?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Pavlos Bakoulas
