From Library Journal:
To many opera lovers, Leonard Warren was the greatest baritone of the 20th century. The Bronx-born son of Russian immigrants had extraordinary flexibility and control of dynamics, and the great Verdi rolesDRigoletto, Scarpia, Amonasro, IagoDseemed to have been written for his big, powerful voice. This exhaustive, occasionally repetitive biography appears in time for the 40th anniversary of the singer's dramatic death, onstage during a performance of La forza del destino at New York City's Metropolitan Opera. Phillips-Matz, a frequent contributor to Opera News and Opera Quarterly and the Royal Philharmonic Society Award-winning author of Verdi (Oxford Univ., 1993), provides a wealth of detail about the singer's personal and professional life along with valuable supplemental materials. The Leonard Warren Foundation is releasing a commemorative CD set in conjunction with the publication of this book, which should find a place on the shelves of academic and large public libraries.DKate McCaffrey, Onondaga Cty.
