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

[Christopher Peters]

Thanks Kristjan - and with regard to your latter point I heartily 100% agree. I apologize if I was clumsy in my wording, what Inmeant was what is (theoretical) passport would have said. 

And thank you for your information about what the numbers mean - I never knew this. 

I hope this will help to find a copy of the recording...

Best regards,

Christopher
