Joseph Hislop
Joseph Hislop (5 April 18846 May 1977) was a Scottish lyric tenor who appeared in opera and oratorio and gave concerts around the world. He sang at La Scala, Milan, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London, and the Opéra-Comique, Paris, as well as forging a remarkable career in Denmark and Sweden, where he was made a Knight of the Dannebrog and a Knight of the Order of Vasa. He toured America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand on several occasions
with His Master's Voice gramophone company, with the aim of using their celebrity recording stars. Among the films they were to make together were "Cochran's Talkie Revue", a film of C.B Cochran's variety show; the play "Rookery Nook"; an adaptation of the novel "The Blue Lagoon", and the life story of Robert Burns.
However their first movie, "The Loves of Robert Burns" (1930), with Joseph Hislop, was not a success and the arrangement abruptly ended.
