Ünlü keman virtüozu Isaac Stern Ilk 79 Yilim adli kitabinin önsözünde söyle der: "Müzigin hizmetine girmek bir meslek edinmek degil, bir yasam biçimidir. Bunun için iki seye sahip olmalisin: Birincisi, ne olmak istedigin hakkinda küçük yastan itibaren kesin bir fikre; ikincisi, o isteginin gerçeklesmesi için gereken özgüvene, mücadele gücüne ve gurura." Iste Leyla Gencer in müzik serüveni bu düsüncenin hayata yansimasi olmustur adeta.

Soprano Arangi-Lombardi ile çalismasi hayatinin dönüm noktalarindan biri oldu. Ilk opera temsilini Ankara da verdi. 1953 te Italyan radyosundaki kaydiyla da ilk kez sesini dünyaya duyurdu.Leyla Gencer, küçük yasindan itibaren sahnede olmayi aklina koymustu.

Sonraki yirmi bes yil da, ölünceye kadar, egitimci olarak opera dünyasina hizmet etti.Zamaninin büyük sopranolariyla girdigi rekabetle, tarihi sefler ve rejisörlerle birlikte çalismasiyla, büyük bestecilerin gölgede kalmis yapitlarini kesfetmesiyle, repertuvarindaki yetmis üç opera ve canli temsillerden kaydedilen sesiyle yirminci yüzyil opera tarihine geçmeyi basaran La Diva Turca, bugün de Divalarin Divasi olarak anilmaktadir.Ben Leyla Gencer La Diva Turca kitabi, sesiyle ve dramatik gücüyle iz birakan sanatçiyi kisilestirerek kendini var etme yolculugunda yasadigi coskularini, hayal kirikliklarini, sevinçlerini, acilarini kendi agzindan hikâyelestirirken, okuru operanin coskulu yillarina götürüp müzik dünyasinda bir yolculuga çikariyor.

Grubby and creased but in good condition overall. Written in purple ink in a small tight hand. She wonders whether the Maitlands have 'set me down by this time as the most illmannered and ungratefull of all beings' or if they know what she has been doing since they sent her 'the information about Liverpool'. After the evening they spent together she 'had the children home your kind information came and I discussed the matter with Harry'. She then had to leave for Germany 'where I had indeed a delightful Time!' She will recount how the Queen and King of Prussia and the Crown princess received her in private audiences when they meet again. 'Then I returned home only to start again for Nottingham and then I wound up by behaving like an idiot; catching cold and havingg such an attack of Influenza as I do not recollect to have had in this state of my existence certainly'. She has only just emerged from the 'strictest privacy of my bedchamber'. 'Monday morning'; on letterhead '15, Marlborough Road, | St. John's Wood, | N.W.' unknown

012549Erminia Frezzolini (1818-1884), soprano italienne. L.A.S. + enveloppe, sd [dimanche], 1p in-8. A l'éditeur musical Marie Escudier (1819-1880). « Cher Monsieur, vous seriez bien aimable de me rappeler l'adresse à laquelle je dois écrire à Lille car j'ai égaré celle de vos lettres qui la contenait.

015467Emma Calvé (1858-1942), soprano. L.A.S., sd, 3p in-8. Probablement au ténor Etienne Gibert (1859-1929). « J'ai parlé à [Maurice] Grau de vous. Il m'a dit qu'il vous donnerait une réponse à son retour du Hâvre dans une huitaine de jours. J'espère pour vous et pour votre Carmen [de Bizet?] que vous serez engagé. Je vous le souhaite de tout coeur. Votre dévouée Emma Calvé ». [68-2]
014925Elina Barthélémy dite Mademoiselle Elian (1819-?), soprano, chanteuse, fille du poète Auguste-Marseille Barthélémy, créatrice du rôle d'Inès dans La Favorite de Donizetti. L.A.S., 1er janvier 1836, 1p in-8. A un de ses professeurs. Elle lui envoie ses voeux et un livre de son père pour lui « donner quelques instants de distractions ». Elian eut trois professeurs au Conservatoire : François-Louis Henry, Laurent-Joseph Morin et Adolphe Nourrit. Après des prix en 1837 et 1838, Elian débute à Paris en 1836, créa quelques petites rôles puis, après 1842, se produisit en province (Bordeaux, Rouen). On la retrouve à Bruxelles en 1848 puis on perd sa trace. Félix Deriège nous donne probablement la raison de cette courte carrière parisienne: « Mademoiselle Élian Barthélemy a le malheur de n'être pas jolie, de grimacer quand elle chante, et d'éprouver souvent de ces embarras de larynx que les artistes ont nommés des chats » (Physiologie du lion. Paris, Delahaye, 1842, p.75). Peu commun. [362]

She is 'most interested to know that your birthday coincides with mine and that you claim to be the earliest private accompanist I ever had' and thinks from all that Evans says in her letter that 'that is more than likely and your mention of my great friend Rose Budd and Helen Taylor arouses so many happy memories.' She exclaims 'Alas!' on giving the news that Budd died in April 1949 adding that she still visits her husband occasionally. 'Helen Taylor of course became Helen Cowan but I have not seen her for years. I also knew Mr. McKenzie who played the 'cello.'
