Title: A Singer's Manual of Spanish Lyric Diction by Nico Castel ISBN: 0-9627226-9-3 Publisher: Excalibur Books Pub. Date: July, 1994 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (3 reviews)

Summary: Quite good
Comment: I have found this manual to be quite good, which is convenient since there is practically nothing else out there for Spanish singing that I know of. Castel's book provides quick-reference as well as detailed guides to pronouncing Spanish, and he gives good coverage of Spanish variants that one may come across. The repertoire suggestions are handy as well. About the only thing I can think of to improve the edition would be a CD with audio samples of the various sounds, since there are some that are indigenous to Castilian Spanish. This of course would drive up the price, but I think it'd be worth it since most people purchasing this book *genuinely* want to sing well in Spanish.
Rating: 5
Summary: A absolute must for Spanish Diction
Comment: As a pianist and coach for Western Canadian Opera companies and Universities, I consider Nico Castel's book to be an absolute must for those considering Spanish repertoire. Nico Castel has a unique knowledge of languages and a remarkable gift for communication. Utilizing the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), this volume is ideal for singers and coaches beginning to work with Spanish repertoire, or for those already familiar with the language and genre. I recommend it very highly.
