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. I believe what makes Conchita Supervia so well liked 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 first of five volumes, contains the earliest of her recordings dating from 1927 and 1928.
