Giulio Marco Bordogni (23 January 1789 – 31 July 1856), usually called Marco Bordogni, was an Italian operatic tenor and singing teacher of great popularity and success, whose mature career was based in Paris.〔Principal source: Joannes Rochut, ''Melodious Etudes for Trombone: Selection from the Vocalises of Marco Bordogni, Transcribed and Progressively Arranged by Joannes Rochut'', in 3 Books (Carl Fischer, New York 1928).〕 ==Biography== Bordogni was born in Gazzaniga, near Bergamo, Italy. He was a product of the Bergamo tenor school which originated with Giacomo David and Gaetano Crivelli, and in which can be counted, in addition to David's two best pupils (namely his son Giovanni and Andrea Nozzari, both notable in Rossini's operas), and besides Bordogni himself, also Domenico Donzelli and Giovanni Battista Rubini .〔Salvatore Caruselli (ed), ''Grande enciclopedia della musica lirica'', Longanesi , Roma, p 334 (article: ''Giacomo David'').〕 Bordogni made his operatic debut at La Scala, Milan in 1813 in Rossini's ''Tancredi'', and became very active in promoting that composer's music. He appeared in many of Rossini's operas on their first presentation in various towns and theatres. In 1825 he created the role of ''Conte di Libenskof'' in Rossini's ''Il viaggio a Reims''. He sang for many years at the Théâtre des Italiens in Paris. He became a teacher at the Paris Conservatoire in 1820 and continued to teach there until shortly before his death, which occurred in Paris. He was the author of a published singing ''method'', and composed many sets of vocalises which remained in use for singers for a century afterwards. Indeed they still remain in use in transcriptions for other instruments. He was probably the most influential teacher of the English tenor Sims Reeves, who went to him in 1843:〔S. Reeves, ''The Life of Sims Reeves, Written by Himself'' (Simpkin, Marshall co, London 1888), p. 32.〕 other students include Sophie Cruvelli and Giovanni Matteo Mario. Bordogni was awarded the Légion d'Honneur on 10 May 1839 by M. de Gasparin, at the same time that it was awarded to the Director of the Opéra Duponchel, and to the composer Hector Berlioz, who wrote that Bordogni was the best singing-master of that period.〔H. Berlioz, ''Memoirs of Hector Berlioz from 1803 to 1865'' (Alfred Knopf, New York 1932), 213.〕 His daughter Louise Bordogni sang successfully in New York in 1834. 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「Marco Bordogni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
