27/2/57
Notice in Liverpool Daily Post
‘Mr Charles Santley. This young gentleman, the son of Mr William Santley, of the Public-offices, Cornwallis Street, has taken a high place in Italy as a bass singer. During the present opera season he has been fulfilling engagements in Milan, Pavia, etc.and has earned himself an enviable popularity. The following appeared in the Musical Journal of Florence on the 31st of January last: - “Pavia, Teatro del Condominio. – Ernani – in the part of Don Ruy Gomez de Silva – by Charles Santley. He surpassed, very much, the favourable impression already had of him. The public enthusiastically applauded his singing of the cavatina Infelice.” And the Milan of the 6th February says – “Charles Santley was immensely applauded in the aria Foscari from Foscariot the Bravo and called before the curtain.” ’.

Notice in The Times
‘The performance of The Creation …gave occasionto a debut which made a great and unexpected sensation; that of Mr Santley, a young bass-singer just arrived from Italy, where, we learn, he has been studying his art for several years. His name being unknown to us, we were unprepared for anything remarkable and listened to his performance with as much surprise as pleasure. He sang the music of Adam in the last part of the oratorio and displayed gifts and attainments which can scarcely fail to raise him to the highest eminence in his profession. His voice, in the first place, is what we rarely meet with – a pure bass, marked with the timbre of that class of voice throughout the whole extent of it compass – bass in its highest note as well as its compass. It is a voice too which combines power with sweetness in a singular degree. It is free and resonant, issues from his lips without effort or staining and has a crispness of tone which is highly favourable to distinct articulation, though he does not turn this last quality to all the account which he will probably yet be able to do so. The formation of his voice, his style and method of execution bear strong marks of the school in which he has studied – still, in many respects, the best in the world. He possesses a high degree the legato e spianto – the smooth, the ‘linked sweetness’ which has always distinguished Italian singing; his accent and emphasis are admirable and his whole performance is marked with intelligence and expression. But he is deficient, like almost every singer of the present Italian school, in the mechanism of execution: he does not deliver a florid passagewith the clearness and roundness for which the natural quality of his voice affords such facilities. He has acquired too something of a foreign pronunciation, which he ought to make a point of getting rid of, as in the mouth of an Englishman it sounds like affectation. His success amounted to triumph. He had not sung half a dozen bars of the beautiful duet By Thee with bliss when it was evident that he was no ordinary performer…The (if possible)still more exquisite Graceful Consort excited similar enthusiasm….’
Review in London Daily News 19/11/57
‘Mr Santley, who made his debut before a London audience, sang the bass part and made a highly favourable impression. He possesses a powerfuland sonorous voice, which ( although quite young in his profession) he already knows how to employ skilfully and to render subservient to the best purposes of musical expression. Mr Santley is unquestionably a great acquisition to the London concert room.’ Review in Morning Post 19/11/57

‘Among the singers last night was Mr Santley, the new bass, who in the air ‘The trumpet shall sound’ confirmed the good opinions recently pronounced on his performance in the Creation (18/11/57). This gentleman’s voice is of a rich and agreeable quality and he uses it without effort. Little doubt of his future progress can be entertained.The Times

He has still much to learn in respect to elocution; and ought especially to get rid of his foreign pronunciation, which he seems to have acquired during his long stay in Italy.’

‘Mr Santley distinguished himself honourably in Mercadante’s ‘romance’, the violoncello obbligato to which was excellently played by Signor Pezze. This performancecreated the first ‘sensation’, for Beethoven’s fine quartet, though incomparably superior to the Italian song as a work of art, and very well song into the bargain, seemed to be quite lost upon the audience.’

‘That very promising vocalist, Mr Santley, followed in a hunting song by Charles Gounod. This air, nothing extraordinary in itself was sung with great ease and purity. Mr Santley’s voice decidedly improves….The duo between Signor Luchesi and Mr Santley I Marinari from Rossini’s Soires Musicales was obviously ill-chosen. TheTerzetto from Verdi’s Atilla was much better. Mdlle Finoli, Signor Luchesi and Mr Santly acquitted themselves most meritoriously and were warmly applauded.’

‘…and Mr Santley gained another step in public estimation by his artistic and intelligent reading of the music of Paul – a task, in its way, quite as difficult as that which devolves upon the representative of Elijah. Not only did Mr Santley give the two great arias ‘Consume them all’ and ‘O! God, have mercy upon me’,- the one all fire, the other all pathos – with the expression appropriateto each; in the arduous recitative, and in the concerted music, he was just as painstaking; correct, and effective, his singing and declamation being equally good throughout.’ The Times

Conductor – Benedict,
‘The success the concerts lately given at this place, under the direction of Mr Benedict has led to another series of performances of the same description, the first of which took place on Monday night. The programme consisted of a number of common things sung and played by the usual performers. The sole novelty was the appearance of Madame Lancia (said to be an Englishwoman) who has sung with success in Turin and other places in Italy. She sang two beautiful things: Bellini’s Come per serene and Mozart’s , but her faculties seemed to be so paralysed by fear, that it would not be fair to criticise her performance. The only other circumstance to be noted was the absence of Mr Sims Reeves and the clamour which it caused. Placards were put up at the doors containing an apology for his absence on the ground of indisposition – an apology vouched for by a medical certificate. But when Mr Cooper came forward to sing one of Mr Reeve’s ballads, the uproar was so great that he left the orchestra. Then came the Swedish singers, but, they too were compelled to retreat. After a long pause, the noise continuing unabated, a gentleman attempted to read the medical certificate, but he also had to retreat abruptly. Another pause then Miss Arabella Goddard (pianist) appeared followed by Signor Piatti (cellist). The sight of the fair young pianist at once allayed the storm and she was received with shouts of applause…The good humour thus festered was not again disturbed and Braham’s duet, All’s well, the most popular of the pieces set for Mr Reeves (which was very well sung by Mr Cooper and Mr Santley) was not only unanimously applauded but loudly encored.

Meyerbeer: Dinorah
{according to HR there were 46 performances
between 3/10/59 & 28/3/60)
Dinorah - Louisa Pyne,Hoël – Charles Santley (company & stagedebut),
Corentino – William Harrison, Harvester – Henry Corri, Claude – Mr St Albyn, Goat-herds – Miss Pilling & Miss Thirwall
Conductor – Mellon
‘The character of Hoël…was sustained by Mr Santley, a baritone bass, hitherto known in the concert-room. Mr Santley has to acquire a great –deal before he can be accepted as a representative of the histrionic art – stage presence, stage-ease, stage-everything, in short; but he is young and need not despair. How careful a musician he is was proved by his entire familiarity with the muse which Meyerbeer has written for Hoë – music difficult to master technically, and as difficult to render, with the precise expression aimed at by the composer. That Mr Stanley was everywhere unexceptional it would be too much to assert; but that he did many things capitally, everything respectably, and one thing as well as to win suffrages, is no more than the truth. His most finished effort was in the romance addressed by the repentant Hoël to the sleeping Dinorah. This was unanimously re-demanded.’Review in The Times 4/10/59 also quoted in Liverpool Mercury 7/10/59
‘The company this year exhibits some changes, the chief of which is the substitution of Mr Santley for Mr Weiss. It has likewise been materially strengthened by the engagement of a debutante or two of signal promise…Mr Santleyupon whom is cast the responsibilities of Hoël , has not, we presume, ever been upon the boards before, hence his awkwardness – made moremanifest by a very intelligent nervousness – denudes the part of much of its dramatic importance. This, however, will be corrected by elocutionary study and increased acquaintance with the art of acting. …Mr Santley has already acquired legitimate fame by the truth and judgement of his vocalisation and by the obvious superiority of his general attainments. His determination, therefore, to become a member of the Pyne and Harrison troupe cannot but be regarded with satisfaction.’ Review in The Era 9/10/59

‘…Mr Santley by his singing raised a very small part (that of Julien, Victorine’s seducer), into comparative importance’. The Times
‘ “I never can forget” – although curiously out of place in the mouth of an arrant scamp, such as Julien is represented to be – is so unaffectedly plaintive, and so admirably delivered by Mr Santley, that it may in strict justice be cited as one of the “gems” of the opera.’Review in The Times 26/12/59
‘(Mr Mellon’s) ballads are what would be called peculiarly English – that is, the recognised drawing-room style of composition, pointless and harmless as the cooing of any sucking dove and Mr Santley is not likely to touch them with any grace or charm of his own.’ Review in The Atlas 24/12/59

‘There was so little to do in the first act that I was inclined at first to refuse the part, whatever the consequences might be, and they were dire, according to the rules of the theatre, a copy of which was attached to each engagement, all one-sided in favour of the manager. But my indignation was set at rest when Benedict showed what he had done for his ‘dear boy’ in the second act. We
played the Lily for five or six weeks, every night. Danny Man is a very exigent part, and I was not sorry when the season came to an end, for I was feeling fatigued. I had sung every night of the season from the end of September until the week before Easter except two – one night when Maritana was given with Madame Guerrabella, and one night when I had a violent cold.’
Reminiscences of Charles Santleypp 176-7
‘Mr Santley (who is much improved in his acting of late) did great justice to this unquestionably ungrateful part, Danny Man, and sang the music (some of which serves to display his extraordinary high notes to great advantage) most admirably throughout.’Review in ad for Royal English Opera The Times 1/3/62

‘(Mr Gye)… could not offer me an engagement, nor any pay, except the opportunity of being heard on the Italian stage, which probably would be in my interest in the future. The offer tempted me…so I consented to play the part.’
Reminiscences of Charles Santleyp 181
‘April 15th 1862, must by no means be left un-noticed, because of it having introduced to the Italian stage the most genuine (baritone) singer that England has produced since the days of James Bartleman (1769-1821), Mr Santley….No Englishmam, since John Braham (1774-1856), has so thoroughly maintained a hold on upon the Italian stage as he (Santley) has done.’
Musical Recollections of the Last Half-Century –
J E Cox,published 1872 pp 355-6.
‘There is a “scandal” going on in the musical circles concerning the sudden appearance of Mr Santley at Her Majesty’s Theatre just after he had made a successful debut at the other house (Covent Garden). Report says that the whole Italian corps lyrique threatened to strike if the English baritone were to be incorporated with them. If this be in the smallest degree true, the talk of art being of no country is mere moonshine.’Home News 10/6/62
‘Mr Santley acted as substitute for Giraldoni in the part of de Luna. Whether this clever English artists belongs indiscriminately to both Italian opera houses, or has abandoned one for the other we have no means of knowing; but it may be safely affirmed that a more valuable acquisition to either establishmentcould hardly be made – inasmuch as, without exception, he is the best singing barytone the actual stage can boast. There are baritones who sing well, but have not good voices and barytones with good voices but do not sing well. Mr Santley, however, must be credited with both qualifications, having trained up a naturally beautiful voice to the most legitimate purposes of art…He was un-unanimously encores for Il balen and his success was unequivocal.’
The Times2/6/62
‘A singer, even a greater importance to the theatre than signor Nandin, made his first appearance (at Her Majesty’s Theatre.) in the character ofthe Count di Luna in the person of Mr Santley, who, on his entrance, was received with deafening cheers from all parts of the house. Such a demonstration, indeed, would go far to prove, if proof were wanting, that our admirable English baritone is one of the greatest favourites of the stage. As Mr Santley in his performance at the Royal Italian Opera (15/4/62), recently afforded us an opportunity of discussing his pretensions as a first-class singer in Italian opera, we have but to repeat her briefly while he as something to gain in knowledge of stage-craft….he has one of the grandest baritone voices ever heard, and that he is one of the most accomplished singers now before the public.’

‘The Chorus (for Verdi’s Cantata) was composed of not less than 250 voices and amongst the choristers there was such distinguished personages as the two sisters Marchisio, Mdlle Trebelli, Madame Lemaire and Signori Giuglini and Gassier and Mr Santley, not to leave un-mentioned the admirable Chorus of the Vocal Association, for which Signor Verdi is indebted to his gifted comfrer, M Benedict.

‘The Director has the honour to announce the M. GOUNOD has COMPOSED a NEW CAVATINA Loving Smile of Sister Kind [Even bravest heart] to be sung by Mr Santley expressively for the English performances of Faust.’
Notice in The Times 20/1/64
‘A new cavatina, founded on the very lovely cantabile movement in the prelude, has been added to the score by the composer himself, and is sung by Mr Santley, who, as in the Italian version takes the part of Valentin, and sings it with an almost excess of refinement. The opera gains by the addition, and so faultless was Mr Santley’s execution and so choice his phrasing of the words
Even bravest hearts may swell in the moment of farewell that the audience could not do otherwise than call vehemently for its repetition.’

‘But among those who now come forward for the first time in Fidelio (Santley previously sang Fernando in June ’64) Mr Santley shines pre-eminent. Amateurs who remember the late Herr Staudigl (Josef Staudigl 1807 – 1861) in Pizzaro can alone form a proper estimate of the merits of our English barytone’s performance. Since Herr Staudigl there has been nothing to approach it. The fierce phrases of the soliloquy are heard distinctly penetrating through the orchestral thunder with which Beethoven, swayed by impetuous feeling, has unmercifully accompanied it; the duets with Rocco and Leonora are perfect; the sublime quartet – where the foiled Pizzaro stands amazed and abashed in presence of the heroic wife, who, shielding her husband with her person, confronts his assailant with a loaded pistol, is dramatically and musically all that could be imagined. The Pizzaro of Mr Santley in short, is worthy of the Leonora of Mdlle Titiens’. Review in The Times 2/11/64

‘Mr Santley has arrived safely at Barcelona. In passing through Paris the great baritone took the opportunity of hearing Maillart’s Lara (to be done at Her Majesty’safter the new year), but was not by any means impressed with the work’. Notice in Manchester Courier 13/12/64

17/1/65
‘Mr Santley’s success at Barcelona is described as unprecedented for an Englishman. He has appeared in Il Trovatore (Count de Luna), La Traviata (Germont pere) and Rigoletto (the jester), in all three achieving an enthusiastic success. The correspondant of the Parisian journal, the Meesager des Theatre, writes as follows:- “ The great Theatre de Licèo has seldom been so thronged as when Santley sings. On the occasion of his first appearance the audience were completely taken by surprise. They were charmed by his magnificent voice and pure style. That he is no less admirable as a comedian than as a serious actor his impersonation of Rigoletto demonstrates.”’Manchester Courier

‘The part Pizarro is a very ungracious one. To sing audibly through the massive accompaniments with which Beethoven has overloaded the character requires a very Polyphemus, but Mr Santley's singing is marked by extraordinary dramatic energy, just as his acting evinces rare discrimination and taste. The music allotted to him was sung as perfectly as it well could be; but the transition from overbearing brutality to cowardly fear as he reads the letter, and the return of his courage as he resolves on the murder of Fernando— then the savageness of his revenge as he is about to stab his victim, his powerless, but still vindictive, indignation when he is foiled, and the sullen, hang-dog look of selfconsciousness which he bears throughout the last scene, are worthy of careful study by all who witness the performance.’ Western Daily Press 3/6/65

‘…a confused crowd of ladies and gentlemen, en mufti, choruses, priests, damsels, &c., in stage costume, rushed from the wings. “Fire!” was audibly vociferated, and many of the auditory quitted their boxes and seats, but not with the haste of panic fear. Immence credit is due to Mr Santley for his cool presence of mind; he walked to the wings and returning to the footlights declared, in firm and audible tones “All is right. It is a false alarm. There is no fire.” As the last of the frightened intruders left the stage, he beckoned to the gallant Mdlle Sinoco, nodded to Arditi, who remained at his conductor’s seat, and recommenced his comic greeting, to which Mdlle Sinoco responded like a heroine. The house was much thinned, the opera went on smoothly to its close, and the calls for Santley were strong; this little unrehearsed effect evidently warming the audience towards the man as well as the artist’.

Mr Santley who rises daily in public estimationand is ralidly gaining a position on the Italian stage such as no English singer ever had…He is the central figure of the cast.’ Morning Post 10/7/65
‘Mr Santley’s fine voice and method were never exhibited to greater advantage than in the music of Papageno.’ Pall Mall Gazette 10/7/65
‘Mr Santley essayed in Papageno altogether a new style of part. We have to congratulate him on his first attempt at comedy. His acting in the bird fancier is certainly devoid of that whimsicality and extravagance which we are accustomed to associate with the character, and which all who had seen Signor Ronconi’s performance would be led to expect; but our admirable English baritone was evidently scrupulously careful not to caricature Papageno and to permit the humourous side of the character to speak for itself; and in this he was eminently successful…Mr Santley proved himself a thorough interpretor of Mozart’s music and satisfied the most difficult to please of his audience. It might easiliy be imagined how Mr Santley’s grand voice and musician-like skill would tell in the concertedpieces, and, indeed, as Papageno plays an important part in almost every scene of the opera, his assiatance was of vital consequence.’ London Evening Standard 10/7/65

‘Alla vita che t’arride was taken so slow as to spoil a good deal of the effect of such a voice and singing as Mr santley’s were bound to give it. As Mr Santley warmed up, however, he became better and better, and in the great scene of the fourth act sang magnificently, and crated an immense sensation. The lament of Renato for the supposedtreacheryof his wife – one of the most effective and profoundly beautiful baritone songs ever written – was encored in a hurricane of applause, and repeated. This was the “hit” of the performance, and one of the greatest successes achieved by Mr Santley at Her Majesty’s Theatre.’
