What then...

I just love fucking silence but it was plain dull. I don't prefer having background music. It just distracts me. Honestly.

So I started liking the chirping birds, the annoying barking dogs of our neighbors, or the squealing rats under my bed or the damn roosters who wanted to get laid. Well, animal sounds. That is.
 
Rossini: Una Voce Poco Fa sung by Amelita Galli-Curci, recorded in 1917.

Even through the limitations of the acoustic recording technique, she demonstrates a powerful and flexible voice.

The difference between the acoustic recordings of the 10s and 20s and the electrical recordings with microphones in the 1930s is immense, and no amount of re-processing will bring them together.

Operatic singers of the 19th and early 20th Centuries had to fill an Opera House with their unamplified voices. The singing techniques are nothing like those used by modern singer who can use head microphones.
