The record lists Francesco Tamagno as Italian operatic singer (1850–1905).
Francesco Tamagno was born at Turin in 1850. His recorded nationality is Italy.
This was the century of the virtuoso and the touring soloist, when a performer could become famous across a continent.
He worked as opera singer.
The instruments recorded are voice.
Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.
That the work came out of Italy shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Francesco Tamagno died in 1905, aged 55. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
