Her connection with [Madama Butterfly] began early with her teacher, a contemporary of the composer and an important exponent of the title role in the previous generation.
Quote: "One of the first generation of opera singers to appear widely in recordings and on the radio..."
Well, with the tagged-on last four words this statement is not totally wrong (as radio only found widespread acceptance in the 1930s and TV still later), but as a collector of 78rpm recordings I find it misleading. After all, many of the most prized operatic recordings were made even before Mme. Albanese was BORN (e.g. everything by Patti and Tamagno, as well as the better part of Caruso's, Melba's, Battistini's and Tetrazzini's discography, not to mention the literally THOUSANDS of lesser lights - after all, opera was THE central part of European musical culture for a hundred years, until the vulgar pleasures of jazz and pop, fed unto the masses by the (Jewish-/Afro-)American music publishers, relegated it to the "classical" side line, after the downfall of the rightful Central European governments in 1917/18!).

The photograph caption has "Alabanese" -- an extra letter <a>. Perhaps someone who knows how can correct this to "Albanese".
I reverted the birth year mentioned in this article to 2013--Ms. Albanese insists that this is the year in which she was born and was wholeheartedly touched by any number of 100th birthday tributes in 2013. That said, her immigration papers indicate a birth year of 1909--and several major media outlets have judged this to be the correct date of birth despite the fact that Ms. Albanese herself never verified it. In the interests of transparency, perhaps the nature of the controversy/discrepancy is worthy of mention in the article. I defer to more seasoned Wikipedians to see if there is a precedent as to how conflicting dates are addressed. If reverting the dates from 1909 to 1913 contributed to rather than remediated the problem, I sincerely apologize. Mdleonar ( talk) 20:00, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
