Héglon, Lafitte, Delmas, Simon-Girard, Saint-Saens

"This is an historical release of major importance....As far as I know, only one selection by each singer of those at hand has ever appeared before on reissues....Lafitte's records are very rare. The sound of them, dating from 1901, is astonishing. I cannot think of any better-sounding recordings made this early....That Pearl obtained such perfect copies is a wonder....The historical importance of the four records made by Héglon on 26 June, 1904, cannot be overemphasized. All four are selections of music by Saint-Saëns, and all four are accompanied at the piano by the composer himself!....That all four of the selections appear on this CD issue should be enough to tempt any collector.” (Charles Arnhold – VICTROLA AND 78 JOURNAL)
