Richard Strauss: Man, Musician, Enigma
ISBN: 9780521581738 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Was Richard Strauss the most incandescent composer of the twentieth century or merely a bourgeoisie artist and Nazi sympathizer? For the fifty years since his death on September 8, 1949, Richard Strauss has remained dogmatically elusive in the wider body of musical and historical criticism. Lauded as nothing less than the "greatest musical figure" of his time by Canadian musician, Glenn Gould, in 1962, Strauss also has attracted his share of posthumous epithets: in summary, an artist who lived off his own fat during his later years.

Portrait of Elgar
ISBN: 9780198163657 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The public image of Elgar as patriotic country squire was established in his lifetime, but, in reality, it concealed a highly complex, sometimes baffling, private individual. Although acquaintances found him a man of endless curiosity and good humour, his family and close friends knew him to be rather different: a prey to despair, neurotically mistrustful both of himself and of those who loved him and so damaged by the condescension and neglect of his early years that emotionally he never recovered.
This is a reissue of the third edition of Michael Kenedy's portrait of this complexman -... The public image of Elgar as patriotic country squire was established in his lifetime, but, in reality, it concealed a highly complex, sometimes baffl...
