Bizet
ISBN: 9780199781560 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Today Georges Bizet is most immediately recognized as the composer of the acclaimed opera Carmen. One of the most frequently performed operas for over a century, Carmen explores concepts such as the femme fatale and murderous jealousy with vivacity, color, and a wealth of melody. Yet it is only one act in Bizet's story. In Bizet, renowned musicologist Hugh Macdonald goes beyond the composer's most famous opera to take an in-depth look at his entire life and oeuvre. In so doing, Macdonald identifies a number of previously unknown pieces by Bizet, assembling the first...

Saint-Saëns and the Stage: Operas, Plays, Pageants, a Ballet and a Film
ISBN: 9781108426381 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 446 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The stage works of Saint-Saens range from grand open-air pageants to one-act comic operas, and include the first composed film score. Yet, with the exception of Samson et Dalila, his twelve operas have lain in the shadows since the composer's death in 1921. Widely performed in his lifetime, they vanished from the repertory - never played, never recorded - until now. With four twenty-first-century revivals as a backdrop, this timely book is the first study of Saint-Saens's operas, demonstrating the presence of the same breadth and versatility as in his better known works. Hugh Macdonald's wide...

Music in 1853: The Biography of a Year
ISBN: 9781843837183 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Why 1853? For many leading composers this year brought far-reaching changes to their lives: Brahms emerged from obscurity to celebrity, Schumann ceased to be an active composer, and both Berlioz and Wagner became active again after long silences. By limiting the perspective to a single year yet extending it to a group of musicians, their constant interconnections become the central motif: Brahms meets Berlioz and Liszt as well as Schumann; Liszt is a constant link in every chain; Joachim is close to all of them; Wagner is on everyone's mind. No one composer is at the centre of the story, but...

I Piped, That She Might Dance: The Lost Journal of Angus MacKay, Piper to Queen Victoria
ISBN: 9781735774701 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A remarkable debut novel telling the story of Angus MacKay's (1812-1859) turbulent life. MacKay of Raasay is a legendary figure in the history of Scottish music, with his work still celebrated 160 years after his death. The sensational tale of the man himself, however, has been neglected until now. From humble beginnings on the Isle of Raasay, MacKay reflects on his rise through nineteenth-century society, gaining nationwide renown and becoming the first piper to the Sovereign. Yet, despite his fame and musical accomplishments, something is amiss. Why is MacKay writing his journal from the...

Selected Letters of Berlioz
ISBN: 9780393332759 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Letter writing, by contrast, provided him with a freer outlet for creative expression, and his surviving correspondences number in the thousands. From that extraordinary output Hugh Macdonald has gathered some 500 letters that span the composer's life and chart the course of his artistic career. The first letter, written by a brash fifteen-year-old Berlioz to a group of music publishers, suggests that they bring out his work at their own expense. The last letter, in which Berlioz begs his brother-in-law for money, reveals the once-prodigious composer and writer reduced to a pathetic state...
