The Complete Conchita Supervia vol. 2
Fonotipia and Odeon 1929-1930
Conchita Supervia is one of the most sought-after singers among serious record collectors. Supervia recorded over 200 sides for Fontipia/Odeon and a few sides for Ultraphone. Although many of her recordings are common, many were only issued in Spain and are extremely scarce. What makes Conchita Supervia so well liked is the unique timbre of her voice that is immediately recognizable. Whether singing La Cenerentola, Carmen, or the vast number of unusual Catalan songs, Conchita Supervia’s inimitable style and personality are always evident. This two-CD set, the second of five volumes, contains her recordings dating from 1929 to 1930.
