She married an Australian, twisted to Australia and now called himself Mme van der Veer Green. Finally, she let her voice training at the famous Mathilde Marchesi de Castrone in Paris.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING. Quick note on grading: The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. 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.
