9 MUSICAL COURIER January 19, 1922 Brilliance plus Dependability No artist can be considered a truly great artist who is not thoroughly dependable. Many singers give beautiful performances under certain conditions —but there is at least one singer who thrills his audiences at all times. His name is Giuseppe Danise. This cutting from a review by Max Smith in the New York American explains why Giuseppe Danise is one of the most satisfactory as well as one of the most brilliant of artists. At the premiere of the Metropolitan Opera Company’s revival of “Ernani,” there was a last-minute change in cast —and: “Whatever the correct explanation of the mystery Titta Ruffo did not sing last night. His place was taken at short notice by Giuseppe Danise, and so admirably filled that no one felt inclined to utter a single complaint. “Indeed, it may well be questioned whether Ruffo or any other baritone could have surpassed Danise’s achievement. He not only sang the part of Don Carlos with great dramatic power and force, but with genuine vocal skill, reducing his nobly resonant voice, when occasion demanded, to a finely spun mezzo-voce.” 1 his admirable artist is under the exclusive management of INTERNATIONAL CONCERT DIRECTION, INC.
