Specificatii
Half the range of the piano keyboard At last a serious critical
examination of the utterly unique vocalist celebrated for her
four-octave voice, Yma Sumac A confounding, sometimes
heartbreaking, mixture of absurd show-biz hype, stunning
virtuosity, and sometimes ravishing artistry, Yma Sumac was a
firmly established recording artist of the folk music of her native
Peru when she came to America to be discovered. And discovered she
was-by the publicity department of Capitol Records and the Exotica
pop music maestro Les Baxter. From there her story becomes ever
more tangled and weird-and deeply interesting. Yma herself is an
amazingly contradictory mix. Nicholas Limansky (a formally trained
professional singer) is able to demonstrate that she was
startlingly sophisticated technically even though almost entirely
self-taught. What is perhaps even more astonishing than the
celebrated 4-octave range of her voice-and its effortless clarity
and sweetness-was the nearly incredible longevity-fully 4 decades
-of her ability to command it. With the enthusiastic collaboration
of her quixotic, charming, slightly rascally husband, she went
along with the corruption of her artistic identity by the gleefully
amoral record-company publicists, creators of her public
persona-Inca Princess (sometimes Priestess )-from a primitive
mountain tribe (or, sometimes, descended from a line of kings that
was said to go back several hundred years before there were any
Incas) Imperious as any diva with her intimates and musical
collaborators, she maintained an unassailable dignity and
unaffected graciousness as a performer and in relation to her fans.
All documented in this large, lavishly illustrated volume-an
extensively researched biography (her birth date established once
and for all ), many personal anecdotes of her intimates, technical
discussions of her voice and her music, generous excerpts from
reviews and priceless examples of publicity material. About the
author: Nicholas E. Limansky studied voice at Peabody Conservatory
in Baltimore and has a performance degree from the University of
West Virginia. He has sung with The Bach Aria Group, Musica Sacra,
New York Choral Artists (of the New York Philharmonic), and the
Opera Orchestra of New York. He reviews new vocal releases of
historical singers for Opera News, The Record Collector, Classical
Singer and Opera Quarterly. His vocal specialty is the
acuto-sfogato (extended-vocal-range) soprano. His work on Yma Sumac
has covered nearly three decades.
