Vocal Mastery / Talks with Master Singers and Teachers, Comprising Interviews with Caruso, Farrar, Maurel, Lehmann, and Others

A series of interviews with prominent singers and voice teachers presents practical and philosophical guidance on singing, technique, and career development. Contributors explain vocal control, interpretation, repertoire selection, and the need for honest self-assessment, steady practice, and appropriate teaching; they address challenges facing young performers, the use of records in study, lessons in interpretation, and memory and imagination as tools of artistry. The collection combines individual portraits and a lesson example with a concluding résumé of central ideas aimed at students and teachers seeking concrete direction toward vocal mastery.
