Strongly recommended for Tetrazzini's portion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
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.
Fascinating

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.
