> Yes, the noted soprano Magda Olivero, who started recording for Cetra in 1938.  She's now 102! Also violinist Ruggiero Ricci, now 93, started recording in the 1940s (Paganini Caprices 1947 on the Shellac label).

> Also, my own cousin, Ira Ginsburg, 89, who recorded with Fritz Reiner and the Pittsburgh Symphony in the mid-1940s for 78s – Falla: El Amor Brujo, Shostakovich: Symphony No. 6, Tchaikovsky: Marche Militaire, Gershwin: Porgy and Bess suite, Bartok: Concerto For Orchestra, Richard Strauss: Don Juan, and several others.

> Deitrich Fischer-Diskau has died at the age of 86.  In my experience, he is the last, or one of the last remaining classical artists who made 78s, (and here I mean actually cut 78 rpm records, not tape recordings which were subsequently dubbed to 78 - and I can't even think of anyone who did that who's still alive).  A very knowledgeable acquaintance has said the Kurt Masur made 78s but I can find no evidence of that.
