The Cylinder Archive [www.cylinder.de] release for March 2016:

This popular title from Albert Lortzing's opera Undine was recorded by Marian Alma under his pseudonym Hans Hoffmann.

It was one of the earliest 2-minute Edison cylinders to have been actually recorded in Berlin. The recording itself was made in the fall of 1901, while the cylinder itself was likely not issued prior to 1902.

From the collection of Stephan Puille
