[78-L] 1903 recording of Bukke aria listed on CHARM

[Christopher Peters]

Can anyone on this list give e any advice on possible locations of a 1903 recording which is listed on the CHARM database:

It’s a 1903 recording of an aria from the opera “Fate” (or “Sud’ba in Russian”) sung by Alexandr Matveev. The opera is by the composer Evgeny Bukke (1877-1920).  The listing says that it’s sung in Polish, though I think this is probably a mistake as Bukke and Matveev (and the opera) are all Russian!  (Well, Bukke was Latvian, but Latvia was part of the Russian empire at the time, and he was part of the Moscow/St Petersburg music scene - in Latvian his name is Eižens Buke.)
