Solomea Krushelnytska was born at Biliavyntsi in 1872. Her recorded nationality is Italy. She trained at Lviv Conservatory.

She worked as opera singer, music educator and pedagogue.
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.
Solomea Krushelnytska died in 1952, aged 80. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
