Hello,
I made a little more enquiry about it. Gauhar Jaan was the first to record a
song in Kolkata 1902. It does not clarify my doubt though. Swami Vivekananda
died in June, 1902. Is it plausible that somebody arranged recording of
Swami Vivekananda's speech in Chicago in 1893 or later someone recorded his
speech in Kkolkata before his death in 1902?
One of our friends on this list, Mr. Arup Chakraborty, informed me over
phone that, according to Shankari Prasad Basu, a noted biographer of
Swamiji, wrote that his voice was recorded by a maharaja (probably of
Mysore) in his private studio in wax record. But that record is not
available any longer. I also don't understand, if Swamiji's speeches were
recorded, why did not anyone publish it within 100 years of his death?
Please write to the Listener's Club for information. I hope, the voice is
genuine. I only want to make sure.
Best regards,
Amiyo Biswas.

Actually first recording in India was done by Shashi Mukhi in Kolkata in
1903.

Hello,
I once saw the cd. Is it possible that Swamiji Vivekananda's speech was
recorded when recording was at an early stage? And if so, why was it not
published so long? As far as I know, the first-ever recording in Kolkata
was done in 1906. Swamiji died in 1902. If we take for granted, the
recording was done abroad, he returned from his tour of America and Europe
in 1897. Perhaps our friends studying or teaching history may enlighten us
better.
I shall download it, of course. Thank you for the upload.
Best regards,
