 Marston - The Complete Adelina Patti and Victor Maurel
Patti outlasted them all, and continued to sing long enough to leave a legacy of recordings; as a result her art can be enjoyed nearly a century later, and through her records she continues to set standards.
Patti’s records preserve only the ‘beaux restes’ of her voice, as Klein delicately puts it; by this time much of her vocal brilliance was gone, her command of more ambitious ornamentation a thing of the past.
Patti often sang Zerlina, and it is more than probably therefore that her choice of a fast tempo in the concluding 6/8 section is stylish, not just an elderly diva’s caprice, especially since she is hardly able to manage at that speed.

Gifted with a brilliant soprano voice, Adelina Patti began her public career at the age of seven in the concert halls of New York, where in 1859 she also made her first appearance as Lucia in Donizettis opera, Lucia di Lammerioor.
Madame Patti ceased to appear on the operatic stage in public after the eighties, but at Craig-y-Nos, her castle in Wales, she built a private theatre, and her occasional appearances at concerts at the Albert Hall continued to attract enthusiastic audiences, her singing of Home, Sweet Home becoming peculiarly associated with those events.
Partly owing to her fine original training, partly to her splendi4 method and partly to her avoidance of Wagnerian roles, Madame Patti wonderfully preserved the freshness of her voice, and she will be remembered as, after Jenny Lind, the greatest soprano of the I9th century.

 Adelina Patti: "Ah, non credea mirarti"
This recording by Patti is an interesting example of the ways in which listening changes, particularly since even in the contemporary context there was tension between what was heard and how it was given attention.
Patti’s recordings were made primarily as documentation of what had been a fabulous voice and talent, rather than as (in the case of Caruso) a musical document.
Further, Patti’s niece, Louise Barili, present at the recording sessions noted "How unsatisfactory it is that when you want a thing in a high key it alters the tempo so that things go at a terrific speed, and to lower it everything must drag" (Barili quoted in Cone: 245).

 Holmes, sweet Holmes
Patti left her husband and was publicly known to have been living with a fellow singer, Ernest Nicolini, who, in spite of his surname was French.
Patti attempted to claim that her marriage was, in fact, invalid, in that the priest who carried out the ceremony was not licensed to carry out weddings, but the French courts decided that her civil marriage was a legally-binding contract.
Patti married Nicolini in Swansea, in Wales, in July 1886, and although some commentators suggest that they lived happily together until Nicolini died in January 1898, others suggest that there were problems, and Nicolini certainly removed Patti’s name completely from his will, after earlier bequeathing everything to her.

That seemed logical to us, and as both Adelina and her mother were raised in an apartment in Zürich, with nary a glimpse of a live mouse, we didn’t expect our kitten to earn her living that way.

But Adelina began to fret about me. She noticed I wasn’t eating properly, and intelligent as I seemed in some ways, it was obvious my mother had never taught me to hunt.

Madame Patti was the first singer to undertake extensive tours in the US, where she received as much as £2000 for a single concert.
Patti's one-pound record had by that time been devalued to fourteen shillings and sixpence and was to shed two shillings more by the outbreak of World War Two, but that was still more than twice the cost of a double-sided twelve-inch record at the standard 'celebrity' price.
Patti was of course in her early sixties when the records were made; more to the point, she had been before the public for even longer than the HMV catalogue stated, her earliest appearances dating back to 1850, when she was a prodigy of seven years old.
