Diese neu gemasterte Doppel-CD feiert die Kunst und die Vielseitigkeit
dieses einzigartigen australischen Sängers mit Aufnahmen zwischen Mitte
1920 und den späten 1930er Jahren. Die erste CD widmet sich Favourite
Songs and Ballads und verfügt über viele seiner berühmtesten Aufnahmen,
während auf der 2. CD sehr viele Lieder aus dem großen britischen
Musikerbe zu hören sind.
Peter Dawson was born in Adelaide, Australia in 1882 and had a singing career that lasted almost 60 years, including, incredibly, an entry in the Guinness Book of Records in 1984 as one of the Top Ten singers of all time on disc, alongside such illustrious company as Elvis and Caruso!! He gained worldwide renown through song recitals and his numerous top selling recordings of operatic arias, oratorio solos and rousing manly ballads! Dawson’s instantly recognisable bass-baritone voice with its dark timbre and smooth legato was honed under the tutelage of famed Victorian baritone Sir Charles Santley between 1903-1907. He was given a thorough training in voice production and instilled with a meticulous understanding of the great oratorios, particularly Handel’s Messiah, Mendelssohn’s Elijah and Haydn’s The Creation. In the first decade of the new century Dawson regularly attended the Covent Garden theatre where he heard many of the great voices of the era including Titta Ruffo, Pasquale Amato, Mattia Battistini (a particular influence) and the basses Marcel Journet and Pol Plancon. He also came to admire not only French and Italian opera but also the works of the great German composer Richard Wagner. However his lively personality and ribald sense of humour meant he did not feel comfortable in the rigid confines of the operatic world and instead opted for a career in concert and oratorio work. “I consider myself as a singer of the people “ Peter Dawson’s description of himself was indeed apt and he remains one of the last centuries finest troubadours enjoying widespread and popular appeal.
This re-mastered double CD celebrates the art and versatility of this unique Australian performer with recordings made between the mid 1920’s and the late 1930’s. The first programme devotes itself to Favourite Songs and Ballads and features many of his most famous recordings, whilst the second concentrates on Oratorio, Opera and Leider, plus a selection recalling some fine moments from our great British musical heritage.
