Laurenti, Mario, Bariton, * 1890 Verona, å 7.3.1922 New York; eigentlicher Name Luigi Cavadani. Er wurde zum Ingenieurstudium nach Deutschland geschickt. Dabei entdeckte man in Dresden seine Stimme, und er begann hier das Gesangstudium. 1914 kam er nach Nordamerika und trat dem Chor der Metropolitan Oper New York bei. Man ?bertrug ihm dort bald kleinere Solopartien; 1916 kam es zu senem Solistendeb?t, als er an der Metropolitan Oper die Rolle des Wirts in ?Manon Lescaut½ von Puccini sang. Er blieb sechs Jahre lang an diesem Haus, an dem man ihm immer wichtigere Aufgaben ?bertrug. 1920-21 sang er bei der Scotti Opera Company u.a. den Sharpless in ?Madame Butterfly½, den Valentin im ?Faust½ von Gounod, den Silvio im ?Bajazzo½ und den Enrico in ?Lucia di Lammermoor½. 1919 nahm er an der Metropolitan Oper an der Urauff?hrung der Oper ?L'Oiseau bleu½ von Albert Wolff teil. 1921 wirkte er dort in der Premiere der Oper ?Die tote Stadt½ von Korngold in der Partie des Fritz als Partner von Maria Jeritza mit, 1921 in der von Giordanos ?Andrea Ch?nier½, 1922 in der von ?Snegourotchka½ von Rimsky-Korssakow. Sein letzter Auftritt an der Metropolitan Oper erfolgte am 20.2.1922 als Fl?ville in ?Andrea Ch?nier½. Zwei Wochen sp?zer starb er an einer Gehirnhautentz?ndung nach einer Pneumonie.

Schallplatten: Seine sch÷ne Baritonstimme ist auf vielen Edison-Platten zu h÷ren. Seine fr?hen Edison- Platten von 1917 wurden teilweise auf Edison-Amberola-Zylinder ?berspielt.

[Nachtrag] Laurenti, Mario; er sang 1916-22 an der Metropolitan Oper New York 34 Rollen in 318 Vorstellungen.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless another service is requested. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.50 – 5.00$

2 records: 5.75$

5 records: 7.50$

10 records: 9.50$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.

Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!

International Buyers:

All'attenzione degli acquirenti italiani:

ATTENTION TO ITALIAN BUYERS:

Due to rare problems with delivery in ITALY, I will NOT GUARANTEE delivery of parcels sent by US Postal Service First Class and Priority Mail. If you prefer secure delivery, I will be happy to quote you either Registered Mail or shipment by FEDEX

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower

One record usually ships for 25 – 28$ for 10" 35$ for most 12" records (Less for Canada).

I can get SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER rates from FedEx and the US Postal service for any kind of parcel weight, and will make use of all the cost-saving shipment methods

Pls contact me for a shipping estimate, or send me an invoice request after close of auction.
