Peter Dawson was one of the most famous and prolific recording artists of the century. His career began with Edison cylinders in 1904 and ended with an LP in 1955. He is said to have made 3500 recordings. Melba Recordings' Floral Dance, is a modern recording of Dawson hits - perennial favourites still played in Britain and Australia.
 
Dawson was, in his own way, the male equivalent of Melba - the Australian-born singer who built a giant reputation in Europe. Peter Dawson fan-clubs still exist in Britain. He was also a 'crossover artist' on a scale not dreamt of by Pavarotti and Domingo. His range was so broad that he needed several persona to accommodate it.
 
"Yurisich has a robust baritone, and the same clarity of diction that was Dawson's trademark." (The Bulletin)
 
"Yurisich sings with great verve, enthusiasm, and feeling. I'll play this record again and again and again." (The Age)
