Description: Édouard de Reszke as Mephistopheles in Faust - 1895 Music Backing page has lower edge fault, spots and smudges. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Édouard de Reszke (22 December 1853 – 25 May 1917) was a Polish bass from Warsaw. A member of the musical Reszke family, he was a successful opera singer, as were his brother Jean and his sister Josephine. He made his debut in Aida in Paris on 22 April 1876. Reszke was best known for his role as Mephistopheles, overshadowing his brother. He was compared to Faure, a tenor who had earlier performed as the legendary demon. He excelled as Mephistopheles due to his genuine bass voice and his imposing physical presence.
