The greatest tenor of his day, Enrico Caruso possessed remarkable breath control and enunciation along with an intense quality of vocal pathos. This guide explains clearly and scientifically how singers can emulate his phenomenal vocal production. Written by a noted laryngologist who devoted most of his career to Caruso, it includes detailed diagrams, instructions, and exercises.

Excerpt from Caruso's Method of Voice Production: The Scientific Culture of the Voice This work, dedicated to him in the last days of his life, was conceived as the faithful interpretation of his perfect and rare singing. For over a decade and a half, I had the privilege of associating with the great artist, not only in the capacity of medical adviser but in the intimacy of a wonderful friendship, and his singing was to me a constant guide and inspiration in my investigations of the many problems of the human voice and vocal art. By closely observing his method of singing, I saw the correct application by the master himself of the natural laws governing the mechanism of voice pro duction, and I had the opportunity, by testing his ideas and principles, of ascertaining that they con formed with those I have developed in the scientific part of this book. As a modest wreath of admiration and friendship I lay this work on the grave of the great artist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
