From online source:
"In 1894 Shaw speaks of de Lucia and Beduschi both as tenors 'of the Gayarre school, without the goat-bleat of its extreme disciples, and this comment gives the clue. Like Valero (and Francesco Vignas), Gayarre was taught by Melchiorre Vidal in Madrid. Vidal's pupil Rosina Storchio was also closely associated with verismo premieres. De Lucia, in Spain in the 1880s, had imbibed this example."
