MOZART ARIAS sung by LILY PONS and with orchestra conducted by Bruno Walter on 3 78RPM records -- from 1942 on COLUMBIA Masterworks, cat# M-518. Sung in French and Italian. This is 'records only' - I don't have the album case. Still, this amazing set is in great condition and very hard to find at all. 

Records have been listened to for quality. Average is about a 7.5 across all records -- very nice!

1) Queen of the Night - there is a cyclical fuzz which clears up part way thru but still leaves some noise throughout. Still about a 7 to 7.25 out of 10.

2) Voi Che Sapete - about the same as above - a 7, maybe 7.25 of 10. 

3) Ach Ich Liebte - Slight fuzz/crackle but very clear and good throughout - a 7.75, maybe 8 of 10.

4) Ach Ich Liebte cont. - About the same as above, a 7.75 or 8 of 10.

5) Blondine's Aria - Cyclical click/fuzz, otherwise clear but fades a bit at the end - about 6.75 or 7 of 10.

6) Allelujah - Few issues, probably the best of the lot. About 8 to 8.25 out of 10. 

Side note - I have a relatively crappy record player and I don't clean these 78s beyond using a very mild cloth, so you very well may get better sound than I do if you have a good record player and devoted cleaning tools. Also thanks to Discogs for the info. 

I will be listing more obscure 78 records including Irish and other imported ones, and I have many other LPs, singles, and classic 78s from the US and around the world ranging from the early 1900's up to the end of the 78 era - check 'em out!
