Excerpt from The Reign of Patti
Her preeminence as a vocalist was no less pronounced. Catalani, Pasta, Malibran, Jenny Lind, Grisi, may have been singers as great as Patti. That no critic now living is in a position to determine. But, at best, those famous artists only divided between them the honors due to queens of Opera during the first half of the nineteenth century. The honors of the second half were wholly and exclusively monopolized by Patti. Alike as to the particular quality of her genius, its versatility, the natural beauty of her organ, the perfection of her technique, the universality of her fame, and the undying strength of her popularity, she stood alone, utterly beyond the pale of rivalry. The Queen of Song, as she was commonly called, was equally the solitary Queen of Opera of her time.
