Articles on this web site:

What are some of the obvious differences between older and more recent singers? We list a dozen differences for a start, and give you eighteen sound samples.

"I hear you haven't got a wobble". That's why the English coloratura soprano Gwen Catley was chosen for an important radio programme. We examine her pure art.

Why all the current emphasis on darkness in a voice? We compare this to a more 'enlightened' past.
Opera versus Oratorio? For some of our thoughts on the current state of play, click here .


Puccini coached Maria Jeritza. We look at Jeritza's account of this, and her dramatic singing.




We also run occasional Courses  with tips on historical singing, and you might like a peek at our changing Picture Gallery  for picking up occasional lessons from old singers.

Singers Legacy:
    Editor:             James Frederick Anderson
    Asst Editor:        Maria Barbera Martinez

Our editor, James Anderson - who gives Lectures on singers - says, "I am a classical musician, who most recently ran the prestigious Festival de Pollensa in Majorca. I used to work at the Arts Council of Great Britain. I have spent much time collating the advice in the   We Sang Better   volumes. I now give time to educating students and voice lovers about the achievements, ideals and training of these great singers of the past. Their advice is much needed again today!"

James Anderson also gave a Lecture, on the link between music and the prime numbers, at the Incorporated Society of Musicians London on 19th January 2018.
