Original Title: L'Arrivée d'un Train à la Ciotat Directors: Auguste and Louis Lumière Year: 1895 The first public exhibition of motion pictures occurred on 28th December 1895 when August Lumière and Louis Lumière (the Lumière Brothers) exhibited a selection of ten of their single-reel films to a paying audience at a Parisian cafe. 'Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat' is considered to be the first motion picture in modern history (altough more an experiment from the Lumière-brothers to use their 'invention' of film, it shows a train arriving at a passenger station). Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the cafe in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. Most of the cast were members of the Lumière family and employees from the Lumière factory.

Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten (January 5, 1895 June 29, 1987) This is Elizabeth Cotten on guitar with her then, 14 year old granddaughter, Brenda Evans providing the vocal. Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten (January 5, 1895 June 29, 1987) was an American blues and folk musician, singer, and songwriter. en.wikipedia.org "Self-taught and having no knowledge of conventional guitar tunings (eg standard 'EADGBE' tuning or any established open tunings), Cotten developed her own original style. Her approach to left-handed guitar playing involved keeping the guitar in standard tuning but holding it upside down. This position required her to play the bass lines with her fingers and the melody with her thumb. Her signature, alternating bass style has become known as "Cotten picking"." Thank you, Libba Snaps

Mark Hollis Track 5 Uniform Dream cites freedom Avow Relent Such suffering Few certain And here I lay (my lord) ------------------------------------- One source cited for this song is Vera Brittain's "Testament of Youth", the first installment in her autobiography, covering 1913-1925. Said Hollis in a 1998 interview, "That was someone born before the turn of the century and dying within one year of the First World War at a young age. It was based on Vera Brittain's boyfriend. It's the expectation that must have been in existence at the turn of the century, the patriotism that must've existed at the start of the war and the disillusionment that must've come immediately afterwards. It's the very severe mood swings that fascinated me."
The Execution of Mary Stuart (1895 film)
The Execution of Mary Stuart is a short film produced in 1895. The film depicts the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. The film was produced by Thomas Edison and may have been the first film in history to used trained actors, as well as one of the first to use editing for the purposes of special effects. The film shows an uncredited, blindfolded actress (playing Mary) being led to the execution block. The executioner raises his axe and an edit occurs during which the actress is replaced by a mannequin. The mannequin's head is chopped off and the executioner holds it in the air as the film ends.

Sir Harold Malcolm Watts Sargent (29th April 1895 - 3rd October 1967) was an English conductor, organist and composer widely regarded as Britain's leading conductor of choral works. The musical ensembles with which he was associated included the Ballets Russes, the Royal Choral Society, the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, and the London Philharmonic, Hallé, Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Symphony and Royal Philharmonic orchestras. Sargent was held in high esteem by choirs and instrumental soloists, but because of his high standards and a statement that he made in a 1936 interview about musicians' rights to tenure, his relationship with orchestral players was often uneasy. Despite this, he was co-founder of the London Philharmonic, was the first conductor of the Liverpool Philharmonic as a full-time ensemble, and played an important part in saving the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra from disbandment in the 1960s. As chief conductor of London's internationally famous summer music festival the Proms from 1948 to 1967, Sargent was one of the best-known English conductors. When he took over the Proms from their founder, Sir Henry Wood, he and two assistants conducted the two-month season between them. By the time he died, he was assisted by a large international roster of guest conductors. At the outbreak of World War II, Sargent turned down an offer of a major musical directorship in Australia and returned to the UK to bring music to as many people as possible as his contribution to <b>...</b>

Built in late 1895 by the American Graphophone Company, Washington, DC and sold as the 'Bijou'. The wax cylinder was recorded in 1897. Announcement: "Waltz: La Serenata, played by the Columbia Orchestra, for the Columbia Phonograph Company of New York City." Very early 19th century phonographs are usually sounding very primitive compared to machines of later (post-1900) manufacture. This phonograph shows all the glory of imperfection such as motor wow and flutter, tracking errors and very limited volume. This phonograph is not a machine I would recommend to start collecting with. If you never heard a cylinder phonograph playing you definitely should also listen to my 1903-06 Excelsior Phonograph video which gives a good playback quality example of what a post-1900 cylinder phonograph should sound like. The sound you hear was captured with a studio microphone and therefore gives a true and unmodified impression how this phonograph sounds in reality.

Coloratura soprano ADELINA PATTI sings "The Laughing Song" from Auber's comic opera, "Manon." This exceedingly rare recording, privately made for Patti on a brown wax cylinder, was discovered in the 1940's and transferred to a acetate 78 rpm disc by Wm. Seltsam (1897-1968) of Bridgeport, Conn. Understand that THIS IS THE OLDEST EXISTING RECORDING of a world-class opera singer and one of the first operatic recordings by anyone! DO NOT EXPECT HIGH FIDELITY; this is ancient sound. Listen carefully as the announcer gives Patti's name and the selection. It is generally stated that Patti's first recordings were made in 1905. It was in this year that her first DISC records were made....but not her first recording! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Adelina Patti, the greatest soprano of her day, will always be associated with her castle in the Upper Swansea Valley.

From then on, her international career was assured. As a bel canto coloratura soprano she had no rival. Giuseppe Verdi thought she was the greatest singer he had ever heard. Wherever she sang, the public adored her, and she made a fortune. After her first marriage failed, she took a lover, the married French tenor Ernest Nicolini. In search of privacy, and <b>...</b>
