Explore "Jenny Lind the Artist" by Henry Scott Holland on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Our readers will naturally expect us, in summing up our history of Mdlle. Lind's performances upon the stage, to furnish them with some technical remarks upon the _timbre_ and compass of her voice, and the "method" by aid of which she cultivated it.
The voice was a brilliant and powerful Soprano, combining the volume and sonority of the true _Soprano drammatico_-to which class of voices it unquestionably belonged-with the lightness and flexibility peculiar to the more ductile and airy _Soprano sfogato_, with the characteristic tenuity of which it had, however, nothing in common.
