“OE RECORDS TINAYRE, YVES—Continued’ of Paris where he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He then went to London for further vocal studies, which were interrupted by the outbreak of World War |. Tinayre then joined the French army, fighting in the front lines. Wounded in action, he was discharged from active service in 1916. When the war ended, Tinayre made his concert debut at Queen’s Hall, London. Feeling that he needed further coaching, he went to Milan to study with Gennari, after which he gave recitals throughout Europe and appeared with leading orchestras. In 1924, Yves Tinayre began to interest himself in old music. Together with his wife he started a collection of his own transcriptions of unknown works for solo voice from the twelfth to the end of the eighteenth century. Today this collection includes about two thousand works, many of which have been performed by him with outstanding success. He has since specialized in performances of old music, particularly of French songs of the Middle Ages. in 1930, he appeared at the music festival at Liége. At this time Oscar Thompson wrote of him: ‘’To hear Tinayre with his exceptional vocal technique and grace of delivery, his tenderness of mood and mastery of style, is an experience to cheer the heart of anyone who has grown skeptical with regard to songs and singers.’’ On September 15, 1939, Yves Tinayre made his American debut when he appeared as a guest artist at a concert given by the Congress of the American Musicological Society at The Cloisters in New York. On November 18, he made his more official American debut at Town Hall, New York. “It is not primarily the voice itself, but the magnificent employment of it in the early sacred music in which he specializes, that puts his work in a niche all its own,’’ wrote the critic of the New York Times. But Mr. Tinayre does not confine his talents to old music alone. His repertoire contains the treasures of the classic period, including Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Loewe, as well as the principal works of the modern school.
