  Jenny Lind's history is well researched and I've yet too see a serious 
mention of a lost - or preserved - recording of her voice. The article 
you refer to implies that there exists such a recording within the 
Swedish Royal Family, which is pure fantasy.
  I fear Mr Smith may have bought the recording from a fanciful dealer, 
including the story about the Royal Swedish Family.
  Didn't he have recordings of Geronimo and Wild Bill Hickock as well?
