Great singers, from the seventeenth century to the present day by Kurt Pahlen( Book )

18 editions published between 1971 and 1974 in 3 languages and held by 559 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

The most beautiful of man's instruments is said to be his own voice. This book draws together every facet of the art of singing, and shows the relationship between song and the art forms which have used it - particularly the opera. The author shows how the long established Bel Canto style of the Italians was challenged in the nineteenth century by the "singing actor" who introduced a greater psychological depth to his roles, and progresses to the work of Gustav Mahler at the Vienna Court Opera during 1897 through 1907, perhaps the high point of ensemble productions. This book orchestrates for the reader the operatic successes of the twenties and thirties, and finally the new generation of talented singers who revived worldwide interest in opera after the war

'A Landmark in Musical History' is John Luke Rose's title for the introduction to this extraordinary piece of theatre.
