	Clara Butt. A Critical Survey Volume 1. The Acoustic Years [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- Nov 2002 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Butt’s contralto voice is still a contentious one principally but not exclusively for the question of registral breaks when she overused her chest register by pushing it too high.
		Butt is in one of her more oratorical moods here but there is a certain imperishable nobility and dramatic force that can’t be gainsaid, even if one finds it just too much.
		Butt is free as well and forceful; intensely rewarding to listen to her in this literature.

	Marston - Clara Butt
		Clara’s first teacher, a Miss Brooks, trained her as a soprano, but after she had been taken to hear the great American contralto Belle Cole at the Colston Hall, Bristol, Clara realized that she, too, was a contralto and set about at once to try to imitate the great Belle Cole.
		Miss Butt noticed the growing excitement of the examiners but believed they were laughing at her, so when she came to the line “Kings have trembled when I came, reading doom upon my face!” she sank down to the low E with all the power she could muster.
		Clara Butt’s is the most important contralto voice to be heard on records, the greatest since Alboni (whose virtuosity, however, she could scarcely rival).

	Butt, Clara
		Clara Butt created Elgar’s Sea Pictures, a piece especially written for her.
		Clara Butt possessed one of the greatest and most powerful contralto voices, ranging from C below middle C to high B flat (Sir Adrian Boult remembers a rehearsal when she sang through four B flats with ease).
		Today, most of her repertoire might not be of much interest, but we have to realize that Dame Clara had to sing against the background of Victorian taste.

		Clara Butt stood 6-foot-2 with a frame to match and a voice that easily spanned the range between a soprano's top notes and a baritone's low ones.
		The repertory is representative of her concert programs: a nod to operatic and oratorio selections, classical songs, and a heavy dose of the folk songs and sentimental ballads that endeared her to audiences, helping to transform her into a national institution.
		These days, songs like "The little silver ring" and "Snowdrops" may have little intrinsic interest; yet Butt hasn't lost her own thanks to the quality of her vocalism, her one-in-a-million voice, mastery of legato singing, and the perfect diction that lets every word sound.

	Ivor Novello - Biography - AOL Music
		Born David Ivor Davies in Cardiff, Wales, in 1893, he was the son of David Davies, a government official, and Clara Novello, a renowned music teacher and chorus leader.
		Their son proved a natural musician, and as a boy was a good enough pianist to play accompaniment at his mother's rehearsals and in her classes.
		He was fascinated by the theater from an early age as well, and in his youth crossed paths with such figures as Adelina Patti and Clara Butt -- he was a pageboy at the latter's wedding and composed a song that the singer subsequently recorded.

		It was said that the gloriously deep-voiced, vocally agile and expressive Dame Clara Butt (1872-1936) could be heard across the English Channel if the wind was blowing in the right direction, and listening to this collection of arias and songs, it seems possible.
		Her "O don fatale" from Don Carlo is transposed down a tone-and-a-half and well articulated; an aria from Elijah is the picture of dignity.
		But Butt was a phenomenon--all six feet two of her--and she's never dull.
