New recording edit

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

A newer, clearer recording has been made of the 1860 original. The recording currently posted here was released in March 2008. The newer recording was released in September 2008. May I suggest that someone with better skills than I replace the old with the new. — Walloon (talk) 10:30, 26 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

The file's at http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/1860-Scott-Au-Clair-de-la-Lune-09-08.mp3, but my firefox crashes every time I try to open it. Can someone please download it, convert it, and upload it? Chris DHDR 14:55, 26 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Clair de Lune is older than Torquato Tasso recording edit

Go read the firstsounds.org site, they are both 1860. With Clair de lune earlier and probably the oldest recovered so far. I don't know where the news articles get hte year 1857 from, but on firstsounds they are both 1860. --Rajah (talk) 17:00, 26 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Agreed: this is the oldest, not second-oldest recording. There are also various short recordings from 1857, without speed calibration, which therefore cannot be recognized (except as Scott's voice). I've removed the uncited "it might be the first verse" stuff, but I'm pretty sure it's correct: you can even hear "prête-m...". Can anyone find a citation? --MarkSteward (talk) 18:28, 26 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
