ISBN: 9780754653837 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hailed at its premiere at the London Coliseum in 1986 as the most important musical and theatrical event of the decade, The Mask of Orpheus is undoubtedly a key work in Harrison Birtwistle's output.

The Cambridge Companion to Berg
ISBN: 9780521564892 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The world of Alban Berg is full of paradoxes, secrets and allusions, but he was able to handle emotional and moral issues at a distance and with profound sympathy.

All of Berg's substantial works are discussed in this companion, which brings together a team of experts who write from a variety of historical and critical...
