His Master’s Voice C428 (0548, 05025)
Matrices: 925c, 1045c
Recorded 1906, April 1907, Milan
No conductor is identified in the recording ledgers for the April 1907 sessions – Fred Gaisberg recorded various solo items with Alice Cuccini, the La Scala Chorus and La Scala Orchestra. Other items from Carmen were recorded at these sessions. When Gaisberg returned to Milan in May 1907, after recording in Egypt, Sabajno was in the studios, and identified as such in the ledgers. It remains uncertain, therefore, whether he was involved in the April sessions.

Sabajno appears on just one side of this curious double sided Gramophone Company record. It does not have an overall catalogue number, just separate numbers on each side, 0117 and 050572. It seems to be a Spanish pressing imported into France. Both sides have "Importé d'Espagne" printed on the outer ring of the record label and have a stamp affixed with "Compagnie Française du Gramophone - Exempt des droits d'Édition." The well known Carlo Sabajno is clearly credited, but on 0117, the presence of Mackenzie Rogan and the Coldstream Guards Band is not made obvious at all.
