It's like hearing myself in the mirror.

This edition of cleaned up wax cylinder recordings of early flamenco:

... and another similar edition of early flamenco specialising in forms of the Levante region (taranta, cartagenera, minera etc). In both cases the recordings are from 1890 - 1905, although many individual cylinders are undated. I've listened to earlier music recorded onto pianola, Scriabin playing some of his miniatures and Albeniz improvising, not sure of the dates though.

The cover is misleading. The cover depicts Edison Blue Amberols, which were only in production from 1912 to 1929, and yet you say the recordings were from 1890 to 1905. Someone clearly made a mistake using that photo.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you get music from elflamencovive?

Haven't read through the entire thread. Are we talking oldest music or oldest actual physical medium?

It's all explained in the first post, though many people seem to have blithely ignored that. It's recorded music.

Also it was not intended to be a thread of "I've got Edison's original recording, so mine beats yours", but more wanting to know what the oldest recorded music is that you own because you like it and like to listen to it periodically.

I mentioned the Au Claire de la Lune recording because I got it at a time
when I was considering doing a remix of it for an upcoming release. The
1857 recording of Jeune Jouvencelle (as well as some others from this
time) have a experimental sound and an evocative nature that I like.
When you have a little song from around 1860 called Fly, Little Bee that
actually sounds like a fly and/or bee while that being an unintended result,
it adds a nice touch of sonic surrealism that enhances the experience.
I have no problem whatsoever with your mentioning those recording if you actually have them. To tell the truth, when I first read your post I wondered if you were just trying to pull our collective legs - another thing that seems to happen often on fora such as this.

No, it's all world music.

As far as the OP goes, I think the earliest recordings I own are on this klezmer comp, which has some tracks dating as far back as 1911:

I have to look back through some of the really early stuff I own though, there might be something older.
