57The engagement of another celebrated musician is announced by the Chicago Musical College. Signor Buzzi-Peccia will be a member of the Chicago Musical College faculty next season. Dr. Ziegfeld has corresponded with Signor Buzzi-Peccia relative to that artist's coming to America for several months. He was determined to have him at any price, and now has his signature to a contract for a number of years.
59The following extracts from letters received by Dr. Ziegfeld will tend to show the high esteem in which he is held by his colleagues in Europe:
61(Verdi writes.)
62Maestro Buzzi-Peccia has attained the highest eminence as a composer of symphonic as well as lyric music. Here in Milan he is pursuing his profession as vocal master with the greatest success, and if the Chicago Musical College appoints him as musical teacher it will do honor to merit and will be useful to art. With respectful esteem, I am, sincerely yours, G. VERDI.
64(From Puccini, composer of "La Bohème," &c.)
65I have the honor to confirm by this letter the well-known ability of Maestro Buzzi-Peccia as a musician and vocal teacher. I am sure he will do honor to any musical college of which he may be a part. With my highest esteem, I am, most sincerely yours, GIACOMO PUCCINI.
67(From Boito, composer of "Mefistofele.")
68I am happy the occasion is presented to me to manifest the great esteem I have for Maestro Buzzi-Peccia. He holds a very notable place among the greatest musicians of Italy. He received the traditions of the beautiful Italian art of singing from his father and has produced many eminent pupils. I beg you to accept the expression of my best regards. ARRIGO BOITO.
70(Tamagno, the great tenor.)
71I take the liberty of very warmly recommending the celebrated vocal teacher, Signor Buzzi-Peccia, with whom I have often studied, being convinced that he will to a certainty do honor to the college on account of his indisputable merit as vocal teacher and musician. Believe me, with all my esteem, TAMAGNO.
73(From Tosti.)
74I have the highest esteem for the artistic value and great talent of my friend, Signor Buzzi-Peccia. I am sure he will do great honor to the Chicago Musical College. Thanking you in advance for the kind reception you will give my letter, I remain, sincerely yours, PAOLO TOSTI.
76(Gallignani, Director Conservatory of Music, Milan.)
77I warmly recommend to you as vocal teacher for your institution Signor Buzzi-Peccia, whom I am sure will do honor to my signature, as I am certain he will prove of the greatest value to your musical college. His engagement adds in the highest degree to that fame which the Chicago Musical College has acquired under your able direction. With my highest esteem and regard, I am, sincerely yours, G. GALLIGNANI.
79(Masini, tenor of the Imperial Court of Russia.)
80I warmly recommend to you Maestro Buzzi-Puccia as vocal teacher. He will certainly do honor to the college and to the Italian art. With my best regards, I am, truly yours, A. MASINI.
82(Bimboni, conductor Damrosch-Ellis Opera Company.)
83I learn from our mutual friend, Campanari, that Signor Buzzi-Peccia will be a member of the faculty of your college, having been engaged by you. This news has given me great pleasure and I cannot add anything after Maestri Verdi, Boito, Puccini, Leoncavallo, et al., strongly recommend to you Signor Buzzi-Peccia, of whom they express their highest esteem. You can well be satisfied at having secured such a teacher; and I am sure he will give to you in a very short time additional proof of his merit. With my highest esteem, I am, ORESTE BIMBONI.
85From all these testimonials it appears as if Dr. Ziegfeld has made another of his good importations. However much one is averse to the foreigner it must be conceded the worthy doctor has given Chicago much for which to be grateful. In years past he brought teachers here who to-day are ranked as the highest, who stand for all that is best in art, and if they are no longer connected with his college still keep in remembrance many pleasant years spent in that time-honored musical institution "The Chicago Musical College." FLORENCE FRENCH.
87Cappiani to Europe.
88Madame Cappiani, the well-known singing teacher, sailed on the Fulda for Genoa last Saturday. Her state-room was a bower of flowers sent by appreciative pupils and friends. She will remain in Italy during the summer and early fall.
