1-0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER EXERCISE IN BLIND DIVA WORSHIP
Now that the great Renata Tebaldi has passed away, one hopes thata really objective and definitive biography will emerge.This 1961 book by Victor Seroff is really pretty bad. That Tebaldi in her prime had a magnificent voice is well known and documented.That she was loved by her audiences is also well remembered. Because this book was written during the period of Tebaldi's vocal prime, there is no hint of the vocal decline that set in later on in the decade. Seroff obviously loved Tebaldi very much, and his adoration comes out in every page of his book.What damages this book, however, is the nasty and vicious remarks and references to Maria Callas.Maria Callas lived in a totally different operatic sphere than Tebaldi, and it is unfortunate that these two great divas were ever compared, since both were so different.The only thing Seroff accomplishes in this book is a projection of great malice. Meanwhile, while Tebaldi still has fans who purchase her recordings, Callas has become an even bigger legend in death than she was in life. But this is all besides the point.The bottom line is that Tebaldi was a great soprano who certainly deserves a better book than this one, or even the two others written much later, both of which are also little more than exercises in diva worship. ...

Product Description
Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:first comedies of Moliere, The three rival Doctors and The Schoolmaster, are no longer known but by their titles. Let us recall to mind that reflection of Voltaire's: " It is very difficult to succeed before the age of thirty in a branch of literature that requires a knowledge of the world and of the human heart."A happy chance showed that the sciences might open an honourable and glorious path to the discouraged poet. M. de Moncaville offered to teach him mathematics, in exchange for drawing-lessons that his son received from the warder of the king's pictures. The proposal being accepted, the progress of Sylvain Bailly in these studies was rapid and brilliant.BAILLY BECOMES THE PUPIL OF LACAILLE. HE ISASSOCIATED WITH HIM IN HIS ASTRONOMICAL LABOURS. The mathematical student soon after had one of those providential meetings which decide a young man's future fate. Mademoiselle Lejeuneux cultivated painting. It was at the house of this female artist, known afterwards as Madame La Chenaye, that Lacaille saw Bailly. The attentive, serious, and modest demeanour of the student charmed the great astronomer. He showed it in a most unequivocal manner, by offering, though so avaricious of his time, to become the guide of the future observer, and also to put him in communication with Clairaut.It is said that from his first intercourse with Lacaille, Bailly showed a decided vocation for astronomy. This fact appears to me incontestable. At his first appearance in this line, I find him associated in the most laborious, difficult, and tiresome investigations of that great observer.These epithets may perhaps appear extraordinary; but they will be so only to those who have learnt the science of the stars in ancient poems, either in verse or in prose.The Chalda;ans, luxu... ...
