A fascinating and comprehensive resource for information on Verdi's works, his life and career, and his cultural influence.

Recenzje

'… includes the work of the leading Verdi scholars of our time. You have a multitude of highly authoritative voices which result in a remarkable stimulating read … I love that Marvin has resisted the idea of giving every single entry on every single opera exactly the same shape … each scholar has taken a different approach and that's absolutely marvellous. As you get to know Verdi better, you also get to know the people who have worked on him.' Francesco Izzo, Five Books (fivebooks.com)
