Mme. Maconda has received her musical training almost wholly in the
United States, and by every right she stands the coloratura soprano par
excellence of to-day on this continent. With a vocal organ of richest
quality and remarkable range, a charming personality, and that
undefinable something called magnetism, this great artist charms her
hearers, and has won her way to the very front rank of great artists.
Moreover, she sings to the heart and the soul as well as to the ear, and
in the clearness and tender pathos of her notes she perhaps more nearly
approaches the divine music of the great Patti than any singer of the
present generation.
