303058.5" x 4.5". Double-matted framed and glazed.<br/><br/>From the collection of Marilyn Horne b. 1934. "The winning quality of the sound the tender mezza voce particularly in the early years and his phrasing based on a rare mastery of legato and portamento enabled Caruso to sing the French and Italian lyric repertory as well as lighter operas. In addition his noble incisive declamation his broad generous phrasing and his vigor in dramatic outbursts made him a notable interpreter of Verdi as well as of French grand opéra. In this repertory his performances were characterized by the irresistible erotic appeal of his timbre allied to a temperament as warm and vehement as his voice. His numerous recordings now faithfully remastered on CD not only made him universally famous they also did much to encourage the acceptance of recording as a medium for opera." Rodolfo Celletti and Alan Blyth in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>A distinguished American mezzo-soprano "Horne had a voice of extraordinary range rich and tangy in timbre with a stentorian chest register and an exciting top. In concert she once achieved the feat of singing in a single programme Rossini arias and Brünnhilde's Immolation Scene proof of her exceptional versatility. Throughout her lengthy career she was an admired recitalist singing lieder mélodies Spanish and American songs with equal aplomb." Alan Blyth in Grove Music Online. unknown books

"With his original treatment of traditional forms his highly inventive approach to musical drama and his importance as a teacher and writer Paul Dukas occupies a central position in French musical history. Dukas was not only an influence on many French 20th-century composers and others such as Zemlinsky and Berg but also remains important in his own right. His reputation rests on only a small number of compositions notably the Piano Sonata Ariane et Barbe-bleue the ballet La Péri and L'apprenti sorcier. Dukas's influence as a critic from 1892 to 1932 can be compared with Debussy's; his informed opinions reveal great sensitivity to the musical and aesthetic changes that took place during the period."
