Juste Nivette (Bass) (Paris 1866 -?)
He studied at the Paris Conservatory. He made his debut in 1892 at the Opéra Comique in Parisas Sarastro in ‘’Magic flute’’. He had during the following years his first success in the French province, above all at the opera house of Monte Carlo. Here he appeared on 18. 2. 1902 in the premiere of Massenet’s ‘’Le jongleur de Notre Dame’’. From 1899-1908 he was a member of the Grand Opéra, Paris. In the famous performance of the ‘’Magic flute’’ at the Opéra-Comique under the direction of Reynaldo Hahn in 1909 he sang opposite Marguerite Carré, Lucette Korsoff, Edmond Clément and Lucien Fugère. In 1907 he made guest appearance at La Scala as Hagen in ‘’Gotterdammerung’’ under the direction of Arturo Toscanini. In 1909 he sang in the opening season of the new opera at Boston the role of Alvise in ‘’La Gioconda’’ of Ponchielli. Then he continued his career in France
AFFRE, AGUSTARELLO [te] (Saint-Chinian, 1858–Cagnes sur Mer, 1931) A great exponent of the French tradition of grand opéra, Agustarello Affre held his own with Escalaïs, de Reszke, Scaremberg, Muratore, and Franz in a career that lasted two decades. After studying in Toulouse and at the Paris Conservatory National, Affre made his debut at the Paris Opera in 1890 as Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor with Nellie Melba. He soon claimed leading parts in Les Huguenots, Guillaume Tell, Aida, Faust, Sigurd, L’Africaine, and Roméo et Juliette. At the Paris Opera, he created Zarastra in Massenet’s Le mage and was the first Canio. Despite never singing at the Opéra-Comique, he made guest appearances in Lyons, Marseilles, Brussels, London, Havana, and San Francisco. In 1912 he appeared in New Orleans and the following year was appointed the director of the company. A prolific recording artist, Affre recorded a large and varied repertoire for Zonophone, G & T, Columbia, Pathé, and Odéon. His bright voice recorded well for the early gramophone but often the acoustic process emphasized a strained and edgy quality that may not have been so apparent in the theater.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:
As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
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 Fair, 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 F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:
Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the multiple item discount!
Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.
Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless another service is requested. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.
I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials
As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.
If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.
US Domestic Shipping:
Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:
Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)
1 record: 4.50 – 5.00$
2 records: 5.75$
5 records: 7.50$
10 records: 9.50$
MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.
Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!
