Just read your review.  You mention Harold Schonberg's comments
regarding the Ampicos.  In his review of our Welte transfer of the
Bloomfield Zeisler, he was, as far as I know, for the first time, lending
some credence to a roll recording.  "That she was great can easily be
believed from this piano-roll transfer.  There is a kind of authority
that immediately hits the listener, and it was recognized in her own
time...Piano rolls often can be anonymous, metronomic, dull; but not here.
A trememndous personality comes through, and a technique that must have
made many of her male colleagues whimper."
