Anna Pavlova Speaks - To Her Swans At Ivy House

This is the only known recording of the voice of Anna Pavlova. I’ve included two versions of the footage. In the first version, the ballerina’s voice is clearer, and the picture somewhat blurry. And in the second the picture is much clearer, with close-ups of the interaction towards the end, but Pavlova’s voice is indistinct. It is possible there were (at least) two takes of this scene as the images and the sound are subtly different in each, which I’ll outline.
