Review of "Exploring Twentieth-Century Vocal Music: A Practical Guide to Innovations in Performance and Repertoire" by Sharon Mabry, an American teacher and mezzo-soprano specializing in contemporary music. This superb and cogent publication is intended for all singers and voice teachers who are discovering the music of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Although there are many publications that focus on the contemporary vocal music, few of them offer such insight into the pedagogical aspects and specifics of singing technique and the interpretation. In that fact, this makes Mabry's book unique as a reference work in this field of singing education.
