The German mezzo-soprano and celebrated singing teacher Mathilde
Marchesi (1821-1913) presents an illuminating account of her life
in these memoirs. First published in 1897, the book reflects the
significant role that Marchesi played in vocal education during the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Having begun her career
as a performer, from 1854 she devoted herself to teaching at the
Vienna Conservatory and also in Paris and Cologne. She instructed
many of the pre-eminent female singers of the age, including Nellie
Melba, Mary Garden and Emma Calve. Also renowned for bringing the
Italian bel canto vocal technique into the twentieth century,
Marchesi occupied a prominent position in musical history.
Featuring musical excerpts and a number of other illustrations,
these memoirs record her outstanding achievements and strong
opinions. The work also includes a brief introduction by the French
composer Jules Massenet.
