Richard Tucker on singing opera - 28 minutes
A21²
October 6, 1955
Richard Tucker tenor, opera
Through archived audio, legendary opera singer Richard Tucker
contributes to a WGBH Archive collection of 22 original radio essays
by leading thinkers in the 20th Century on the nature of creativity in
American arts, sciences, and professions.
Twenty-two prominent men and women in many fields contributed to this
thought-provoking series, which sought to provide insights useful in
the development of an educational and cultural setting in which this
nation's creative potential could be fiully realized. Originally given
during radio interviews in the 1950's, their timeless comments have
been remastered to live online for your enjoyment.
Frank Lloyd Wright, Aaron Copland, Leopold Stokowski, Robert Penn
Warren, Allen Tate, Norman Cousins, Reinhold Niehbuhr, Margaret Mead,
Agnes de Mille, and many other authorities express their individual
views on the creative process in reference to their own work and to
society. Each interview attempted to answer several critical questions
relative to nontechnical values that challenge the attention of
thoughtful individuals in an industrial society: Do the human and
cultural aspects of civilization receive the necessary encouragement
to insure a balanced development? Do the young potential artists in
our midst have a favorable opportunity to express their talents?
Consideration of these and related issues suggests numerous questions
as to the nature of art, artists, creativeness in both the arts and
sciences, and the conditions requisite for creative effort.
