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

[Kristjan Saag]

Hi, Christopher,
Its a Gramophone Company recording, and the catalogue number, 22068 
tells you it's sung in Russian. The 0 is for 30 cm disc, the first 2 is 
for "sung in Russian", the second 2 is for "sung by male singer" - the 
rest is irrelevant, in this case.
But where you could locate it...no idea.
Kristjan
P S: the fact that Latvia was a part of Russia, doesn't mean that its 
population was Russian. Even if you studied and worked in Russia you 
remained what you were, ethnically. My grandfather was Estonian, worked 
in Russia, but remained Estonian. Buke also remained Latvian.
