40Baldelli, Paris.
41Artist, Professor.
43A PROFESSOR of singing has established himself in Paris who should be made known to Americans for their good, and that is Antonio Baldelli, the famous Italian baritone, who has passed fourteen consecutive years of his career in the Royal Opera of Madrid.
45The coming to Paris to establish himself has been a real musical sensation among the Parisians, who have long loved the popular lyric star, among his compatriots in Spain, who are mourning his departure, and especially among the colony of Spaniards in Paris, to whom Baldelli is brother, son and dearly beloved child of song. This singer is probably one of the best loved of any living singers, not only from the pleasure derived from his exceptional gifts and the roles of the masters he has so ably interpreted, but also for the exceeding loveliness of his sunny and genial disposition.
47The concerts which he gives here from time to time in Paris are the best attended and most élite of all the lyric affairs, and the enthusiasm before, during and after them amounts to a sort of frenzy. One must attend one of them to realize this condition, one of the most flattering possible to a performer. His appearance means an ovation, his singing is listened to with breathless attention, numerous encores are insisted upon, and at the close song after song of his immense repertory and of the country are called for in the most informal manner, the good-natured responses being greeted with the warmth and fervor known only to people of the South and the sun.
49His repertory includes all the splendid classic gems—arias, ballads, madrigals, serenades; in fact, the gamme of emotion in song. But he does not simply sing. He gives in the most inimitable and irresistible manner the "mise en scene," so to speak, of the interpretation of what he sings. No singer of the present day does this with greater success. As a result, wherever he may sing the place is filled to overflowing, and a tame, or even calm, performance is unknown to him.
51He has to the highest degree of perfection the art of diction and color; that is, of saying what he sings, carrying conviction and impressiveness with every point.
53In this art precisely are Americans of all singers most lacking. Their singing even when vocally impressive is often pale, tame and "styleless" through this want. Few teachers teach it, few indeed can, and none can do it better than can Baldelli.
55The famous singer, as may easily be imagined from these qualities, is greatly sought after for concerts, matinees, salons, &c., and, being in full possession of his powers, is naturally nothing loath to fulfill these engagements, which prolong his glory and line his coffers. But he has consented, in answer to the solicitations of musicians, to devote part of his time to teaching. His gift for voice placing and its development has been proved to be exceptionally fine, added to the rest.
57No pains have been spared by his country people to induce Baldelli to remain in Paris. Touching evidences of their devotion are to be found in the elegant apartments which are this week thrown open at 6 rue Euler, immediately back of the grand Elysées Palace Hotel, on the Champs Elysées.
