Two Records by MME. GAY The New Metropolitan Carmen
The advent of a new Carmen is always an event of more than passing importance, the role being such an interesting one, capable of so many varied interpretations, and Mme. Gay’s first appearance was one of the features of the New York opera season.
This young artist, who has already achieved such a sudden and exceptional success in this role in Europe, is a native of Catalonia, in Spain; and reversing the usual order, has been studying under an American teacher, Mme. Odiny. Mme. Gay’s conception of the part of Carmen is a new and original one, differing widely from that of Calyé or Bressler-Gianoli,
who are considered the leading exponents of Copy’t Dupont the role. She makes Carmen a most dramatic figure; wholly Spanish, but with little of that GAY AS CARMEN
fascination which would seem to be necessary for the rapid subjugation of the rather unimpressionable Don Jose.
However, it is Mme. Gay’s voice with which we have most to do here, and it may be said at once that it is a most striking one —a rich mezzosoprano, capable of expressing every shade of emotion.
Pursuing its usual policy, the Victor promptly follows Mme. Gay’s American success with two fine impressions of her voice in the two principal Carmen airs, and these records exhibit fully the beautiful voice this young singer possesses.
