From the delectable Conchita Supervia (who made her debut at
fourteen!) to the divine Maria Callas; from the gentle Elisabeth
Schumann to the fiery Maria Jeritza (adored by the public, feared
by several leading tenors and spat at by a fellow diva); from the
giant Lauritz Melchior to the versatile Richard Tauber - More
Legendary Voices mixes biography, anecdote, opinion, and
penetrating analysis of each singer's strengths and weaknesses.
Once more Nigel Douglas, the international tenor and well-known
radio presenter, brings to this collection his professional
knowledge of the world of opera, his infectious enthusiasm for the
subject, and a natural gift for distilling the essence of a
singer's life and career into one entertaining and instructive
chapter.
