thread_title: Who was her teacher?

message: Quote: "One of the first generation of opera singers to appear widely in recordings and on the radio..."
Well, with the tagged-on last four words this statement is not totally wrong (as radio only found widespread acceptance in the 1930s and TV still later), but as a collector of 78rpm recordings I find it misleading. After all, many of the most prized operatic recordings were made even before Mme. Albanese was BORN (e.g. everything by Patti and Tamagno, as well as the better part of Caruso's, Melba's, Battistini's and Tetrazzini's discography, not to mention the literally THOUSANDS of lesser lights - after all, opera was THE central part of European musical culture for a hundred years, until the vulgar pleasures of jazz and pop, fed unto the masses by the (Jewish-/Afro-)American music publishers, relegated it to the "classical" side line, after the downfall of the rightful Central European governments in 1917/18!).
