Vocal Wisdom: Maxims of Giovanni Battista Lamperti

The maxims of singing master Giovanni Battista Lamperti have now become classic among students of the voice. They were first written down by a student of Lamperti in the 1890s. Lamperti had in turn learned them from his father, Francisco Lamperti, who gathered them from Presto, Bellini, Donizetti, Rossini, et al. The precepts that developed the great voices of the Golden Age of Song are made available in this edition to all vocal students and afficionados of today.
