UN CANTO LIBERO




From "The Secret of Bel Canto", an article by Matteo Glinsky, the noted musicologist:




Le teorie pedagogiche di Lodovico Szamosi a prescindere dal loro valore empirico, ci rivelano forse veramente quel segreto del bel canto italiano che molti oggi considerano irrevocalmente perduto.

L'Osservatore Romano
No.171, 25 Luglio 1948, Roma

Translation
Lodovico Szamosi's pedagogic theories -- apart from their practical value -- have perhaps finally illuminated for us those secrets of the Italian bel canto that many until now believed to be irretrievably lost.
