4.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating,
By AMBE (TEXAS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Caruso and Tetrazzini On the Art of Singing (Paperback)
I liked hearing from Tetrazzini herself how she achieved such a wonderful sound, what her "secrets" were. This book was a very nice change from the usual technical material. I thought the personal information and insights were interesting. I'm even re-reading it now with my highlighter, just to make sure I get every thing I can out of it.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A worthwhile read for vocal students,
By A Customer
This review is from: Caruso and Tetrazzini On the Art of Singing (Paperback)
This book contains some excellent points and vocal tips given by two great singers of their time. One must however disregard much of the negativity and arrogance with which the book was written - there is no "foolproof" method for singing and each person must unlock their individual potential. It is true, however, that essentially, one must sing naturally and comfortably, as this book emphasizes.

Strongly recommended for Tetrazzini's portion,

This review is from: Caruso and Tetrazzini On the Art of Singing (Paperback)
If I could provide separate recommendations, I would give a "5" to the part by Louisa Tetrazzini, and give a "3" to the portion by Enrico Caruso.
Tetrassini provides a wealth of excellent advice and insight in the first portion of the book. Keeping in mind that the material comes from a foreign voice (Italian), and about a hundred years ago, so the English is awkward and dated, so it might be a challenge to read for some. However, she gets right into the proverbial "meat & potatoes" of the matter, and provides a huge amount of advice in a short space. Caruso does a lot of talking, but not a whole lot is said. With my trusty highlighter, I did find a few statements worthy of note. But overall, his portion was likely included just to make this a book rather than a pamphlet. Even with that, the entire length is only 71 pages, and can be easily read in a single sitting.
