There is nothing so beneficial to the young artist as the kindly and just criticism of a person who knows and nothing so stimulating as his praise. Among my most priceless possessions I treasure the words of encouragement given me by Patti and Sembrich, those wonderful artists, when I was beginning my career. Mme. Patti is a splendid example of the many sidedness necessary to artistic perfection. Her wonderful voice was always supplemented by complete knowledge of the art of singing, and her mastery of languages and of different fields of art made her not only a great artist, but a most interesting woman. To hear an artist of this kind is one of the most profitable parts of a musical education. But there are two ways of listening to a singer. There is the appreciative way, and there is the entirely critical. The beginner usually tries to show her knowledge by her intensely critical attitude. The older you become in your art the more readily you will be able to appreciate and learn from the singers you hear on the opera or concert stage. The greatest and the humblest singer can teach you something. But to learn you must be in a receptive attitude. The public has no real conception of what an amount of intelligent work besides talent and art is necessary to achieve the results which it sees or hears. Only those whose lives are devoted to the same ideals can understand the struggles of other artists, and it is for that reason that appreciation and not condemnation should be on the tongues of those who themselves have studied. The artist may demand the greatest things of herself, and what may be good enough for others is not good enough for her. As the poet says, "Art is long," though life may be short, and singing is one of the most fleeting of all arts, since once the note is uttered it leaves only a memory in the hearer's mind and since so many beautiful voices, for one reason or other, go to pieces long before their time. If the singer's health is good the voice should end only with life itself, provided, of course, it has been used with understanding and with art. In performing before the public one should be governed by the tastes of the public, not by one's own tastes. Just as the comedian usually wishes to play Hamlet and the man of tragic mien thinks he could be a comedy star, the singer who could make a fortune at interpreting chansonnettes usually wishes to sing operatic rôles, and the singer with a deep and heavy voice is longing to inflict baby songs on a long suffering public.

me when im obsessed with dead singers from 50 (well... mostly 70-120) years ago and im heartbroken to know i'll never see them on stage... never hear them breathe, never see them sweat, never even touch the hem of their garment...

it really is enough to drive a person mad...

#this is so funny because this is the one vaguepost that i wholeheartedly 100% agree with skdhsjshsjdhsn #like yeah!! it does indeed pain me that the level of operatic singing has so drastically decreased over the last 50 years! #that top operatic stars of today are all either nasal or wobbly or knödely or completely inaudible without microphones #but some of yall are just not ready for this conversation. example a #anyway. as many have said before. its kinda easier to understand how some people cant appreciate certain operas #if they never heard them sung well lol #sorry im out of blood today. i know this is a very uncomfortable subject for many but. #you can actually judge someone's singing in a pretty objective way. there are nuances of course. but from a technical point of view #it really is pretty simple #(also its not like i dont enjoy *some* modern singers lol have you SEEN my kwiecień posting???? lmao #hell. there are even some modern singers i have a soft spot who i KNOW sing... Not Very Well. but i enjoy them lol #not many ofc but. yknow) #also 50 years ago would be the 1970s if im doing my maths correctly and. that is really the point in opera history #when it all started going downhill (sadly partly because of one of my all time favourite singers' influence... but thats a different story) #anyway. remember when luis tetrazzini said that the future generations of singers will be The Best singers in history #because they'll have access to all those recordings of The Greats Of The Past that they'll be able to listen to and learn from? #lmao queen you were right about so many things but that was tragically not one of them </3 #opera tag #yes im stirring the pot of boiling liquid shit and putting this post gently into the main tag #*luisA tetrazzini ofc #lol and lmao im out FOR blood* shdgsjsghs
