Why read it?

1 author picked The Record of Singing Vol. 1 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A remarkable tracing of the evolution of singing throughout the decades. Occasionally Scott is dismissive, (sometimes of the most famous singers) but his remarks are always intriguing and thought-provoking. Through his text, Scott causes one to re-evaluate some of the most famous singers and the reason for their fame.

From Nick's list on historical opera singers.
