Edouardo Garbin (12 March 1865 - 12 April 1943) was an Italian operatic tenor. He was married to the soprano Adelina Stehle. One of the most important Italian tenors of his day, Garbin "created," inter alia, tenor roles in Franchetti's ''Cristoforo Columbo,'' ''Fenton'' in Verdi's last opera Falstaff (1893), and ''Milio'' in Leoncavallo's ''Zaza.'' His success in ''Anglo-Saxon'' countries (such as England) was (put charitably) limited (he was, by ''The Times,'' described as "miserable" as ''Cavaradossi'' at ''Covent Garden'' in 1908); but in the Latin sphere (South America and Italy) he was in constant demand until his retirement in 1918. He recorded for G&T(to become HMV) in 1903, Fonotipia and Columbia; his recordings for the two last mentioned companies sold very well, and are easily found. According to Scott (''Record of Singing'' 1978) his best record of all is the ''E un riso gentil'' from Leoncavallo's ''Zaza.'' Garbin, represents a ''half-way-house'' between the older ''bel canto'' school and the new ''verist'' style. Garbin's style(according to Steane - ''The Grand Tradition'' 1971) is a curious mix of the frail and explosive. At his death, in 1943, Edoardo Garbin was the last male solo ''vocal'' artist to have created a part and worked with Giuseppe Verdi - some fifty years' previously in the composer's ''Fastaff'' of 1893. It was a role he had repeated in 1913 at ''La Scala'' at the ''Verdi Centenary Celebrations.'' == Roles created == * Don Fernando Guevara in Cristoforo Colombo'' (Alberto Franchetti), Genoa's Teatro Carlo Felice October 6, 1892 * Fenton in ''Falstaff'' (Giuseppe Verdi), La Scala, 9 February 1893 * Milio in ''Zazà'' (Ruggero Leoncavallo), Teatro Lirico Di Milano, 10 November 1900 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edoardo Garbin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
