coloratura Elvira De Hidalgo -Carneval Espanola- CALLAS tchr
BackDe HIDALGO sings from El Principe Carneval: Cancion Espanola -- by José Serrano, 1873-1941, a Spanish composer of operas and zarzuela. Coloratura soprano Elvira De Hidalgo was born at Valderrobres, Aragona, in 1892 and died in Milan in 1980. As an accomplished pianist, she appeared before the public at age 12. She went on to study singing in Barcelona and then traveled to Milan for vocal study with Raoul Vidal. She made her singing debut in Naples, singing in Barbiere di Siviglia in 1908 when only sixteen years of age. With her incredible agility, silvery sound and vocal extension, she was considered one of the finest coloratura sopranos of her day. She sang in principal opera houses of Europe and at the Met in 1910-191l and again from 1924 to 1926. De Hidalgo was highly acclaimed in Sonnambula, Lucia di Lammermoor, La figlia del reggimento and in Verdi operas, especially Rigoletto. She retired from the stage in 1932 and thereafter devoted herself to teaching. It was when a professor at the Conservatory of Athens that she was the teacher of MARIA CALLAS, her most famous pupil. De Hidalgo had a profound influence on Callas, which explains Maria's early interest in the florid bel canto roles. Elvira De Hidalgo recorded for Fonotipia and Columbia. You are listening to a Columbia disc dating back over 90 years. ALL her original recordings are considered rare.
