Maria Galvany (soprano) - Carcelleras ('Las Hijas del Zebedeo' - Chapi) (1907)

Facts are sparse about the Spanish soprano Maria Galvany, and although it appears that she was probably born in 1878 (or thereabouts) no-one is sure when she died, although it could well have been 1918. Desmond Shawe-Taylor writing in 'The Record Year' (1952) wrote, 'Coloratura sopranos are often described as acrobatic, but Maria Galvany suggests a conjurer. The incredible speed and adroitness with which she negotiates repeated notes in alt, wide skips and chromatic scales, is like sleight-of-hand; it also resembles figure skating, or an old silent film in which everything happens at an immensely accelerated pace.' Shawe-Taylor judged her 'Carcelleras' to be 'not a patch on Conchita Supervia's,' but I think it's rather enjoyable.
