A selection of comments about the voice of Arabella Fields from various sources:
"Arabella Fields has an alto deep like a bass." - Amsterdam De Telegraaf. "Fields finds vivid applause for her arias and lieder, which are sung with magnificent voice" - by M. L. in Der Artist no. 1011. "Quite excellent is la belle Fields, the black nightingale...[she] has a beautiful alto of quite enormous range: sweet and soft sounded her torch song "Sweet Marguerite, farewell!"" - by V. H. [=Viktor Happrich] in Der Artist, no. 1188. "On top of this month's record list is a vocal phenomenon which remains a mystery to me. I would have classified her straight away as a regular tenor with baritonal colouring, had not the label informed me that it is actually the contralto of Miss Belle Fields...[during] the piano of the falsetto towards the upper notes, I thought I heard something like a female resemblance. But then again there were the deep tones of the small octave, and then my natural response was again and again: "But it ought to be a male, after all'!" - by Max Chop in Phonographische - Zeitscrift IX, no. 7. "[O]ne is stricken with awe when hearing the Philadelphia diva descend calmly to the low E, and then see her scale limited by the two-line C." - by Max Chop in Phonographische - Zeitscrift IX, no. 7. "[W]hat thundering resonance in the deep, what a volume at fortissimo-intonations in the higher registers. And it should be noted that this singer does know how to present not only the chest-voice but also a quite nice falsetto register." - by Max Chop in Phonographische - Zeitscrift IX, no. 7. "Towards the end, the "Home, Sweet Home" is happily incorporated, the very last tone being a B2, which is intoned and kept ff and which, without doubt, reminds one of Botel's C in the "Stretta" of Trovatore." - by Max Chop in Phonographische - Zeitscrift IX, no. 7. |
