CLAUDIA NOVIKOVA - Song of the Laugh -- The Geisha

“Song of the Laugh,“ written to insert into Sidney Jones“ 1896 operetta, THE GEISHA---sung in Russian—which is like nothing you’ve ever heard CLAVDILA (Claudia) M. NOVIKOVA (1895-1968). Novikova recorded this gem twice, and both versions survive. She was involved in the composition of this piece. Her laugh may be the most infectious on record!
