Pierre Cornubert +••.••(...)) was born in Paris and received his musical education at the Conservatory there. His academic record was solid, but not extraordinary. He only placed second in each of his vocal juries and a critic who witnessed one of the tenor’s student recitals, remarked upon his “extremely disagreeable voice”. Before his graduation, however, Cornubert was offered a contract with the Opéra-Comique. He made his debut there as Daniel in Adam’s immensely popular comic opera Le Chalet in 1887. Cornubert must have made quite an impression on the management of the Opéra-Comique, for he sang regularly there for the next seven seasons. In spite of the leading role he sang at his debut, the tenor was given a great number of comprimario roles in lesser known operas during his first few seasons with the company. He sang the tiny role of the Byzantine Herald in the world premiere of Massenet’s L’Esclarmonde in 1889 and sang in other forgotten works such as Deslandres’ Dimanche et Lundi, Guiraud’s Madame Turlupin and Pfeiffer’s L’Enclume during this period of his career. Cornubert spent much of the 1890s bouncing around the French Provinces, with appearances in Dijon, Lille, Rouen and Montpellier. He also spent several seasons in Marseille, singing the title role in the local premiere of Massenet’s Werther in 1894. Cornubert also created the role of Dominique in the Marseille premiere of Bruneau’s L’Attaque du Moulin and eventually sang the tenor lead in the world premiere of Charles Silver’s now forgotten La Belle au Bois Dormant in 1902. 1899 found the tenor singing his first performances abroad. He travelled to Mexico City for a series of appearances at the Opera Nacional and then to Havana for a few performances at the Teatro Tacón. Toward the end of the season, Cornubert received an urgent telegram from New York’s Metropolitan Opera. A desperate Maurice Grau, the Met’s general manager, requested that the tenor come to New York as a last-minute substitute for the ailing Albert Saléza. Cornubert quickly agreed and made his Met debut shortly thereafter. During his brief stay with the company, the tenor sang five performances of four operas…L’Africaine, Roméo et Juliette, Les Huguenots and Pagliacci…plus one performance of Rossini’s Stabat Mater, but made little impression. Of his Raoul in Les Huguenots, one critic remarked, “It cannot be said that he is a graceful singer to listen to…there is a certain strident quality and roughness of tone in his singing that more than neutralizes his other good qualities.” Cornubert failed to win over the New York public as well. After less than three weeks with the company, he left the Met and never sang in North America again. After returning to Europe, Cornubert continued to appear throughout the France but also traveled to Warsaw, Antwerp and Cairo. As early as 1899 he was appearing in Italy (Teatro Lirico, Milan and Teatro Vittorio Emanuele, Turin) and returned to that country for a series of performances at Naples’ Teatro San Carlo in 1904. When the San Carlo took the company to London’s Covent Garden later than same year, Cornubert was among the principals. He alternated with Caruso in performances of Carmen and Pagliacci. Needless to say, it was his younger Neapolitan colleague who garnered the lion’s share of the praise. Of Cornubert’s Don José in Covent Garden’s November 21, 1904 Carmen, a critic for the London Standard remarked that. “M. Cornubert is a tenor with a fair voice, not very artistically produced nor invariably quite correct in intonation.” As he approached the age of fifty, Cornubert began to curtail his stage career. In early 1917, the tenor was offered a professorship in the voice department of the Paris Conservatory. Interestingly, Cornubert once again found himself taking over a position left vacant by his colleague Albert Saléza, who had passed away late in 1916. The now retired Cornubert was to become a popular member of the faculty and remained at the Conservatory until his own death in 1922 at the age of 59. Pierre Cornubert enjoyed a mostly minor league career that encompassed a variety of roles from such operas as Manon, Mignon, Carmen, Andrea Chénier, Guglielmo Ratcliff and Tosca. He also excelled as a recitalist and was active as an oratorio soloist, singing such works as Rossini’s Stabat Mater and Franck’s Les Béatitudes. His recorded legacy is scanty, unfortunately, with only 15 extant titles recorded for Fonotipia, Edison and Disque Ultima. These discs and cylinders reveal a full lyric tenor with tasteful artistry. Here, Cornubert sings Alphonse Cathérine's "Ton sourire". This rare recording was made in Paris for Disque Ultima in 1905.
