The Complete Conchita Supervia: vol. 4
Conchita Supervia is one of the most sought-after singers among serious record collectors. In fact, she is as close to a cult-figure as it gets with the shellac-set. Supervia recorded over 200 sides for Odeon and later, several sides for Ultraphone. Although many of these records are common, many were only issued in Spain and are extremely scarce. What makes Supervia so well loved is the unique timbre of her voice that is immediately recognizable. Whether singing La cenerentola, Carmen, or the vast number of unusual Spanish songs, Conchita Supervia is amazing. This two-CD set, the fourth in the Supervia series, spans 1932-1933 and includes some beautifully-executed Spanish songs on Odeon as well as her French-language version of Lehár’s Frasquita on Ultraphone. Finally, a previously undiscovered French Odeon record from 1930 is included, which is of two Eduardo Toldrá songs.
