Excerpt from Past Hours, Vol. 2 of 2
Jane Trevor's collection Of Bellini's music, I found it full Of passages which the tenor singers now in vogue would find it next to impossible to master and going further back still, and taking up Rossini's Opera of Ricciardo e Zoraide, I discovered that it contained no less than three great tenor parts, the least important Of which would be beyond the strength of most of the tenors of the present day, whose powers of vocalization are so limited, that the orchestral accompaniment is generally made to play in unison with the voice every passage at all difficult of execution, so that the noise of the instruments effectually drowns any possible defect on the part of the Singer.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a personal and nostalgic look at the changing landscape of Western classical music in the 19th century through the lens of the author's own musical journey. The author, a classically trained musician who spent much of his life in India, reflects on the music of his youth in England and the gradual decline of vocal technique and appreciation for the divine and imaginative qualities of the great masters. The author's experience performing with amateur and professional musicians abroad during a time of significant cultural change emphasizes the evolution of musical tastes, and the rise of vulgar musical forms and trends. However, the author closes with memories of a performance that rekindled his joy in the art form, validating the power of music to transcend time and cultural shifts. This memoir offers an evocative and personal account of the development of music from one who witnessed firsthand the fading of musical traditions and the emergence of new ones.
