Eine Fundgrube für Informationen über historische Sänger bietet cantabile-subito.de. Hier ein Beispiel:
Manuel García I (1775 - 1832) [Manuel del Pópulo Vicente Rodríguez García] - Vater von Manuel García II (1805 -1906), von
Maria Malibran-García (1808 - 1836) und von Pauline Viardot-García (1821 - 1910)
He was a singer as well as a composer, impresario and singing teacher. Perhaps the most celebrated tenor at his time he was unequalled in Mozart (Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, Die Zauberflöte, La Clemenza di Tito), Rossini and Donizetti. García composed 51 operas, 22 in Spanish (Tonadillas), 21 in Italian and 8 in French! In a number of his works he fused Andalusian and bel canto elements. The critics praised him for his remarkable flexible voice (ornamentation), for his musicianship and skilful acting. The voice was described as “a deep tenor.” In 1829 his voice declined and he dedicated himself to teaching. His legacy, in the hand of his children, was widely carried into the 20th century.
