The Record of Singing
註釋This book is an illustrated survey of the art of singing as it survives on gramophone recordings. This volume (vol. 1) covers the period up to 1914. This work deals with the impact of the invention of the gramophone on singers and the significance of old recording on us today. The author also attempts an outline of developments in the art of singing in the centuries for which there is no direct evidence in the form of recordings. This book contains entries and photographs from several different national styles of singing. This book presents the English ballad and the Italian oratorio, whose influence on the Anglo-Saxon world of singing was large. It also gives readers information on the French and German national styles of singing from this era. The birth of the Italian operatic movement called Verismo occurred during this time and would become more and more popular through the years of this period. The author includes information on the singers of Imperial Russia as well.
