Скачать или смотреть Heidelberg Quintet - Ragtime Regiment Band

Victor master B 13190-1, rec. Camden, 24 April 1913.
Will Oakland (countertenor), John Bieling (first tenor), Billy Murray (lead), Steve Porter (baritone), and William F. Hooley (bass) with orchestra accompaniment.
It has been said that Billy Murray's "American Quartette" was the vocal supergroup of its time, combining the finest singers from the most popular American quartets. So what, then, is the Heidelberg Quintet? For this is, in fact, the American Quartette, augmented by countertenor Will Oakland to form what might be considered the best original ragtime vocal ensemble ever recorded. Here, with a little help by an excellent arrangement courtesy of their friend, the composer George L. Botsford (1874-1949), you can hear what they were capable of when they were allowed to record what they wanted.
