M.me KINEN, soprano
ANITA KINEN appears to have been a wealthy Parisian socialite who was well known as a talented amateur soprano.
Il Barbiere di Sivig1ia-Una voce poco fa Mme. Kinen obviously had a good voice which had been well trained. She sounds rather mature for this aria and her version lacks the sparkle which one expects of the young and lively Rosina. On the other hand she sings with considerable agility in her coloratura passages and the few changes she introduces are in good taste. The ending, minus any sort of cadenza, is very tame but she was obviously a singer of considerable attainment although hardly a Rosina. The piece is spread over two sides which allowed an unobtrusive change of key from F to E, the top notes thus limited to Bb and B. In concert, the accompanist would have added a bar of modulation.
