Ah! fuyez, douce image
While I was (thus far unsuccessfully) trying to locate the FSC archives from before 2007, I stumbled upon this. Nominated and withdrawn in 2008 by the now retired Shoemaker's Holiday, this seems to have only been withdrawn because there were too many submissions at the time. For a record over 100 years old, the sound is pretty good. It's used in the articles Jules Massenet and Manon, as well as the selected audio section of Portal:Opera.

 * Nominate and Support Oppose --  S ven M anguard  Wha?  21:28, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I listened to it again and decided that while I will keep the nomination open, I am no longer supporting this. Yes, it's 100 years old, but the quality is poor, and I am unconvinced that there is sufficient historical importance in this recording to warrant playing the quality-override-for-historic-files card. If this were performed by Massenet, or conducted by Massenet, or even performed in front of Jules Massenet, that argument could be made. However, in this case, there is no inherent encyclopedic value that would be lost if this were replaced by a modern rendition.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  23:04, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak support. Singer is better than the band, which is pretty raspy and out of tune. The composition is ... OK. Tony   (talk)  11:57, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose If the recording itself is not notable it must be of high technical quality. Zginder 2011-01-08T16:41Z (UTC)
 * Neutral It's old, so it isn't going to sound all that great. That being said, I feel like this could be cleaned up a bit to better standards and resubmitted. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:41, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
