What are some of the obvious differences between older and more recent singers?
We list a
dozen differences
for a start, and give you eighteen sound samples.
"I hear you haven't got a wobble". That's why the English coloratura soprano Gwen Catley was chosen for an important radio programme. We examine her pure art. Why all the current emphasis on darkness in a voice? We compare this to a more 'enlightened' past. |

Puccini coached Maria Jeritza. We look at Jeritza's account of this, and her dramatic singing. |
Our editor, James Anderson - who gives
Lectures
on singers - says, "I am a classical musician, based in Europe, who most
recently ran the
prestigious Festival de Pollensa in Majorca. I used to work at the Arts
Council of Great Britain. I have spent much time collating the advice in
the We Sang Better volumes.
I now give time to educating students and voice
lovers about the achievements, ideals and training of these great
singers of the past. Their advice is much needed again today!"
