Mark Everist

Recenzje

In this path-breaking study, Mark Everist offers a fascinating and fine-grained account of the performance and appreciation of Gluck's music in nineteenth-century Paris. Drawing on his intimate knowledge of French musical life during this period, Everist documents an ongoing, variegated engagement with the composer's works, through concert performances, editions, and study, despite an almost complete lack of full, staged productions of the operas during the three decades preceding Pauline Viardot's landmark performance in Orphée et Euridice at the Théâtre-Lyrique in 1859, in a version arranged by Berlioz.
