I would choose James Stark's brand new (March 2000) Bel
Canto: A History of Vocal Pedagogy. A former teacher
of mine (Donald G. Miller, of the voice research lab in
Groningen, Netherlands, and co-developer of the
VoceVista program which is being used at various
universities and with the Met Young Artists Program) has
written a very thorough review of it which should appear
on Amazon.com in the near future. I just checked and
the review is not there yet; if this would be helpful to
you in making your decision, I'll see if I can get it
from him and post it.
