Book Reviews of DEAR ROGUE: A Biography of the American Baritone Lawrence Tibbett (Opera Biography Series, No. 6)
Book Review: Wonderful biography of a great singer
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read a considerable number of biographies of great opera singers and this has to rank as one of the best. It is told in a forthright manner and actually makes it possible to visualize the singer and his personality. Tibbett was a very great singer and a great man as well during the best periods of his life (not much of a father though). The authors describe his abilities extremely well and cover his life very thoroughly from his childhood and early successes to his eventual downfall. Tibbett's later vocal problems and then social and physical decline made the last part of the book somewhat depressing, but the authors seemed to be trying to cover these parts honestly. I would very highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about this singer.
This book does lack a discography unfortunately, but that is to be found in a companion volume by the same publisher.
I would also strongly suggest that any reader listen to a number of Tibbett's recordings to understand how truly great a singer and performer he was.
