内容説明

This text looks at opera singers of the 20th century, seeing how their art develops with the opportunities of their professional lives. The 50 singers chosen are from different parts of the 20th century. Several are from the early years, such as Adelina Patti, Emma Calve, Geraldine Farrar, and the tenors Smirnov and Sobinov. The singers from the middle years include Flagstad and Ferrier, and those from the later years of the century include Regine Crespin, Carlo Bergonzi, Arleen Auger and Lucia Popp. The book is illustrated with photographs and memorabilia.

内容説明

In this, second of John Steane's three-volume "Singers of the Century", another 59 singers are added to the series. The portraits clarify what is special about the singers, relating their art their careers, characters and personal circumstances. As in Volume One, the singers range from some of the very earliest to others who are still before the public, including Kiri te Kanawa, Domingo and Pavarotti. Tamagno and Maurel, the original Otello and Falstaff, share a chapter, as do the most famous French soprano and tenor of their time, Ninon Vallin and George Thill. Callas and Tebaldi, Tucker and Corelli are there, and among today's favourites, the baritones Hvorostovsky and Terfel. The book is illustrated throughout with photographs, programmes and other memorabilia.
