Vocal Wisdom Indeed June 8, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am currently in training with someone that I can only describe as a disciple of Lamperti. He is almost always quoting him during lessons. Someone else said that the book is mostly a philosophical work. This is true - Lamperti does not try to give an explanation of "how" to accomplish the noble goals laid out in the book. There is no book that can do this, since singing is so esoteric and difficult to teach. In the art of singing, we seek invisible goals via musculatures that can only be influenced through suggestion, and indirectly at that. I must say personally that I think this book belongs on the shelf of every student of singing. Since most of what we do as singers is influenced HEAVILY by our thoughts, this book is indeed a help. It provides the context out of which technical facility can advance.
Wisdom of singing November 1, 2002

This is a great book to have around as a singer. It consists of many brilliant soundbites and thoughts to the art of singing. It is not meant to be read from ront to back at any given time, but rather, it should be opened up randomly to any section, and be read to get an idea to keep in mind while singing.
 Lamperti Wisdom - Vocal Philosophy for Singers September 1, 2000
31 out of 33 found this review helpful
Lamperti was a famous voice teacher in the "old school" of bel canto. The wisdom found in this small book is best suited for the person who already is a singer, and is looking for sage advice about the "art." This is provided in small statements and paragraphs - rather like "info-bytes" from a great master. The beginner may end up with more questions than answers. The more advanced singer will want to make this a book to "live with" over a period of many years. A book for the "New Age" from a sage of old.
