  2. According to Charles Neilson Gattey, in his biography of Luisa Tetrazzini, these records are by Elvira Tetrazzini, not Eva.

    2. Hello Ashot. The recordings (also some for La Fonografia Nazionale Milano) are indeed all by Elvira Tetrazzini, the youngest of the three sisters. The oldest, Eva, never recorded - she was nominally retired by 1903 but made a few appearances thereafter (in Andrea Chénier), supported by her husband Campanini (who is the accompanist of his sister-in-law Luisa Tetrazzini in her black Zonophones). I think the dates you give are for Eva - I'm not sure what Elivra's dates are.
