THE SONGBIRD: Although born in Philadelphia, coloratura soprano Deborah Cook +••.••(...)) primarily based her singing career out of Germany. She studied at Temple University and made her professional debut at the Academy of Music with the Philadelphia Lyric Opera Company in 1965. In the 1970s and 1980s, Cook sang coloratura and soubrette roles in opera houses and concert halls across Europe and the UK, including Zerbinetta at Glyndebourne and Fiakermilli at Covent Garden. She was featured in the world premiere of Henze's opera "We Come to the River" at Covent Garden in 1976. After returning to the U.S. in 1985, Cook became the executive secretary for the head of oncology at Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia, while teaching voice at Haverford College and Bryn Mawr College. She was the Cantor of several synagogues in Pennsylvania and later in Maine where she moved in the late 1990s. THE MUSIC: Though Austrian composer Heinrich Proch wrote over 200 art songs, three operettas, and one opera, he is really only known today for one coloratura concert showpiece, the theme and variations "Deh torna mio bene." It was programmed and recorded regularly up until about the 1980s, and although it is less popular now, it does occasionally show up in soprano recitals. The piece was sometimes used in the 20th century as a substitution aria in the music lesson scene in Act Two of Rossini's "The Barber of Seville," replacing the aria "Contro un cor" that Rossini wrote for Rosina, but that trend has fallen out of favor.

I don’t have details on the date or venue of this recording, but it is likely in the early 1980s. THE MUSIC: Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" is one of the most popular operas in the world and has been since soon after its premiere in Rome in 1816. It is based on the first of three plays by Pierre Beaumarchais about Figaro, the sly barber in the title. The music of the opera is believed to have been composed in about three weeks. This showy aria "Una voce poco fa" introduces the clever character of Rosina in Act One and has become a touchstone for florid sopranos and mezzos.
