Official information
Dame Clara Butt was a renowned contralto singer from Sussex, celebrated for her extraordinary vocal range and significant contributions to recorded music. She gained fame in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, performing internationally and becoming a cultural icon of her time.
From the Wikipedia article
Dame Clara Ellen Butt (1 February 1872 – 23 January 1936) was an English dramatic contralto and one of the most popular singers from the 1890s through to the 1920s. She had an exceptionally fine contralto voice and an agile singing technique, and impressed contemporary composers such as Saint-Saëns and Elgar; the latter composed his Sea Pictures, Op. 37 with her voice in mind. Her main career was as a recitalist and concert singer. She appeared in only two operatic productions, both of Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice. Later in her career she frequently appeared in recitals together with her husband, the baritone Kennerley Rumford. She made numerous recordings for the gramophone.
