FavoriteDiscography
HistoryFavorite was an early German record company. Though small, Favorite was an important competitor in the Levant, and marketed 14 Sephardic songs recorded in 1912 and 1913 in Izmir, including ten by Isaac Algazi. Paul Blumberg, a representative of the Gramophone Company based in Izmir, wrote the Alexandria office in 1911, "The Favorite when quite a small company was able to make records in February, and now for the second time, whereas we, the great Gramophone Company, after some two years, are meeting with all kinds of difficulties and unpleasantness on account of a few records." (Strötbaum; emphasis in the original.) The company also recorded operettas, as well as Greek and Armenian records, and was especially noteworthy for its recordings of artists from Izmir and Salonica.
