Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Giovanni Battista Rubini (1794-1854) was a legendary tenor and the first 19th-century non-castrati male singer to become an international star of opera. The previous two centuries had been the era of the castrati, with tenors and basses relegated to character and supporting roles in the operas of their time. Rubini stood apart because he not only matched the castrati in coloratura and pathos, but he also had an extraordinarily high voice. With Rubini’s rise, and in his wake, several tenors came to sing roles written specifically for them by Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, and many other lesser-known bel canto composers. Signaling the end of the dominance of castrati on stage, this period would last some 40 years until the advent of Grand Opera, Wagner, and Verdi and the appearance of the first so-called High C from the chest by Gilbert-Louis Duprez in 1837. Since then, the accepted tenor sound has followed the tradition epitomized by Enrico Caruso and, in our own era, Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo. Many composers, conductor, and performers would come to regard bel canto dramatic operas as decorative and vapid until Maria Callas and Tulio Serafin demonstrated the heights this genre of opera could reach. However, opera directors and opera performers of late who have expressed an interest in reviving selected masterpieces from the bel canto tradition have found themselves confronted with the problem of locating tenors versed in the vocal techniques necessary to carry the high tessituras. In Giovanni Battista Rubini and the Bel Canto Tenors: History and Technique, Dan H. Marek explores the extraordinary life of Rubini in order to frame this special period in the history of opera and connect the technique of the castrati who were among Rubini’s instructors. Drawing on the work of Berton Coffin, Marek offers long-sought answers to the challenges presented by high tessitura of bel canto operas for tenors. To further assist working singers, Giovanni Battista Rubini and the Bel Canto Tenors includes over 60 pages of exercises written by Rubini himself before 1840, which Marek, for the first time ever has adapted to acoustical phonetics. Professional singers, teachers and their students, vocal coaches, and opera conductors will find this work indispensable as the only English-language work on high tessitura for tenor and soprano singing.

Book Description
Excerpt from Thirty Years Musical Recollections, Vol. 2 It would serve no good turn further to enter into the private history Of this musical event, with all its loops and turns - to recall the green-room tales and their contradictions, which agitated those who are concerned in such matters. - It is enough to have lived for a while in the caldron Of Scandal, without stirring its waters afresh. - The new theatre did not tumble down like a house of cards. The Officers of Justice did not enter with writs, at the eleventh hour, to lay the strong hand of prohibition on any acting or singing being attempted in an establish ment already known, said its solvent well-wishers, to be insolvent. The Lord Chamberlain did not refuse his license, as it was promised for him that he should do. The singers were forthcoming on the day of rehearsal, which took place in the midst of scafl'oldings, artificers, and every other apparent interruption and Sign Of incompleteness. At last, on the 6th of April, the Royal Italian Opera opened its doors with a fine performance of Semiramide, in which, besides the excitement of the first night of a new undertaking, there was an attraction of late increasingly rare - the appearance of a new singer of the highest class, Mademoiselle Alboni.

Excerpt from Musical Recollections of More Than Half a Century: 1826-1899 For a task of this kind I have no literary experience, and it is one which presents all the more difficulty because a certain appearance of egotism is absolutely unavoidable. I can only say, that but for the very urgent wishes expressed by two or three of my oldest friends, I should not have contemplated for an instant the present attempt at describing what may or may not prove, in the long run, to be a mere statement of facts, interesting only to myself and a few others. Of old times and experiences, however, I have a very vivid recollection, and my apologue, or apology, may perhaps be completed with the following quotation from an.
