Josephine Kraus
Last updated: 08.06.25
It is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of compositions and recordings located. All that can presently (September 2023) be gleaned about Josephine Kraus from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably a German speaking soprano who made at least 10 recordings between 1905 and 1907.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
