He would go on to perform in the Opéra National de Paris, New York City Opera and Metropolitan Opera. Later in his life, he became an accomplished music teacher at Curtis Institute in Philadelphia and at the Conservatoire de musique du Québec à Montréal, influencing the careers of such artists as James King, Donald Gramm, Jeannine Altmeyer, Benita Valente, John Reardon, Louis Quilico, and Judith Blegen. Martial Singher, French Baritone And a Noted Teacher, Dies at 85By PETER B. FLINTPublished: March 12, 1990Sign In to E-Mail Print Single-Page Martial Singher, a French baritone who became a leading American operatic and concert artist and later a noted teacher, died of heart disease on Saturday at his home in Santa Barbara, Calif. He was 85 years old. Mr. Singher (pronounced sang GAIR) made his Metropolitan Opera debut in 1943 after 11 seasons with the Paris Opera and many guest appearances in Europe and South America. In more than 100 opera roles and in recitals with leading orchestras, he eschewed showmanship and histrionics and stressed smoothness, subtlety and clarity. He was particularly celebrated for the lean, elegant phrasing of his native French repertory. His celebrated performances included Golaud in ''Pelleas et Melisande,'' the count and title role in ''Le Nozze di Figaro,'' all four baritone roles in ''Les Contes d'Hoffmann,'' Lescaut in ''Manon,'' Gounod's Mercutio, Wolfram in ''Tannhauser' and Amfortas in ''Parsifal.'' The baritone remained with the Met until 1959, when a severe heart disorder forced him to shift to teaching. He taught at the Mannes College of Music in Manhattan, the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, and, as director of the voice and opera department, the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara (1962 to 1981), where he also produced operas. He was also an artist in residence at University of California at Santa Barbara. A Debut in 'Hoffmann' Of his Met debut as Dapertutto in ''Les Contes d'Hoffmann,'' Virgil Thomson in The New York Herald Tribune reported Mr. Singher ''gave a stage performance of incomparable elegance and did a piece of singing that for perfection of vocal style had not been equaled since Kirsten Flagstad went away.'' Several weeks later at the Met Mr. Singher sang his first Pelleas. Mr. Thomson found him ''the glory of the evening, vocally impeccable and dramatically superb.'' Olin Downes of The New York Times hailed the baritone as ''a fine and experienced artist, an authoritative actor, one firmly grounded in the traditions of his language and stage action and a potent element of the occasion.'' Mr. Singher appraised his voice in a 1981 interview as having ''an odd range, not much top but a good low register, down to an F.'' He alternately sang tenor and baritone roles in the same opera as well as some bass roles. Essentially, he remarked with characteristic modesty, ''it was a matter of being able to color the voice appropriately for each challenge.

Quick note on grading: The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise."SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing."VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing."Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing. These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment. Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
