Bos circa 1915 Julia Bertha Culp (October 6, 1880 - October 13, 1970), the "Dutch nightingale" , was an internationally celebrated mezzo-soprano in the years 1901-1919. Culp was born in Groningen, The Netherlands into a Jewish family of musicians and comedians. She was the daughter of contrabass player Baruch Culp and his wife Sara Cohen. At the age of seven she began to practice the violin, and at 11 had her first public violin performance. Her first performance as a singer was on December 30, 1893. In the summer of 1896, she left Groningen for Amsterdam, where she studied at the Conservatory under renowned former opera singer Cornélie van Zanten. Soon after completing her studies in 1900, Culp's singing career took flight. She was discovered by German-American conductor Wilhelm Berger, who took her to Berlin to perform at the concert hall Saal Bechstein in 1901. Before long, she was performing all over Europe and America, sharing the stage with such notable composers, conductors and singers as Edward Grieg, Richard Strauss, Camille Saint-Saëns, Enrico Caruso, Otto Klemperer, Willem Mengelberg, Pablo Casals, Percy Grainger, Enrique Granados and Thomas Beecham. As early as 1902 she performed for Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and in 1903 she was invited to sing at the German imperial court for Empress Augusta Viktoria. In 1913, Culp made her American debut at Carnegie Hall in New York. In the U.S., she soon became known as the "Dutch nightingale". Julia Culp made some 90 recordings between 1906 and 1924. In the U.S., she made 41 recordings for the label Victor in the years 1914-1917 and in 1924. She married Erich Merten on June 29, 1905 and settled in Zehlendorff near Berlin. However, the marriage was unsuccessful and they divorced in 1918. In the meantime, she had met a Czech industrialist, Wilhelm Ginzkey, and they married on July 23, 1919. At that time, she converted from Judaism to Catholicism, ended her singing career and moved to Vienna. Julia remained married to Ginzkey until his death in 1934. In the meantime, the Nazis had grabbed power in Germany. After the German annexation (Anschluss) of Austria in 1938, Culp fled to The Netherlands, moving in with her sister Betsy in Amsterdam. When the Nazis invaded and occupied The Netherlands in 1940, Culp once again found herself in grave danger. Both she and her sister went into hiding and managed to survive the war. They returned to their flat in the Wolkenkrabber ("skyscraper") building in Amsterdam, where she remained until her death at age 90. In 2000, Michael Oliver wrote in the International Opera Collector: "You might describe Julia Culp as a connoisseur’s singer. Her voice was not large, her compass not wide. She never sang in opera; striking dramatic gesture were not her line. What she excelled in were the singer’s rather than the vocal actress’s virtues: sustained legato line, remarkable breath control, subtle colour, immaculate care for words….But ‘connoisseur’s singer’ does not mean that only connoisseurs can appreciate her; one becomes a connoisseur by listening to her."

Any other defects are stated separately When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise."EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing."VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing."Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise. These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment. Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
