AMERICAN FLUTIST CLEMENT BARONE (1877-1934) CDR

 



CLEMENT BARONE (NAPLES, ITALY, 1876 – USA, 1934)


 



He went to America in 1901 and by the age of 22 he was piccolo player with the Philadelphia Orchestra. He later played with the same orchestra as solo flute for about four years. (1907-12). In 1911/12 he was engaged by the Victor Recording Co. until at least 1928, with whom he recorded solos and dozens of titles with the Neopolitan Trio and the Florentine Quartet as well as providing obbligati for numerous sopranos. He used an open G sharp flute and his recording of “The Maid and the Nightingale” with Galli Curci is a good example of his playing.
