The strange tale of America's best pianist and the Australian lipstick salesman who immortalised his genius. A compelling and surprising tale of musical passion, tragedy and revival. In his prime, William Kapell was acknowledged to be 'the greatest pianistic talent since Horowitz'. Yet his return flight from Australia - where he toured in 1953 - ploughed into a mountain south of San Francisco and all on board were killed.

After Mahler: Britten, Weill, Henze and Romantic Redemption
ISBN: 9781107008717 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Gustav Mahler is often thought of as one of the last of the Romantic composers and, as a result his influence on the development of twentieth-century music has been little explored. In this ground-breaking study, Stephen Downes shows that Mahler's music was in fact greatly admired by major composers Benjamin Britten, Kurt Weill and Hans Werner Henze. Despite their initial admiration being notably dissonant with the prevailing Zeitgeist Britten in 1930s England, Weill in 1920s Germany and Henze in 1950s Germany and Italy Downes argues that Mahler's music struck a profound chord with them...

Music and Decadence in European Modernism: The Case of Central and Eastern Europe
ISBN: 9780521767576 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Decadence is a crucial yet often misunderstood aspect of European modernism. This book demonstrates how decadence as an idea, style or topic informs Central and Eastern European music of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Combining close analysis with hermeneutic interpretation and cultural critique, Stephen Downes examines works by composers including Wagner, Richard Strauss, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Mahler and Bartok, considering structural and expressive forms of decay, deformation, mannerism, nihilism, sickness and convalescence. Drawing upon critical and cultural theory,...

Szymanowski, Eroticism and the Voices of Mythology
ISBN: 9780947854102 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The desire to voice the artistic revelation of the truth of a precarious, multi-faceted, yet integrated self lies behind much of Szymanowski's work. This self is projected through the voices of deities who speak languages of love. The unifying figure is Eros, who may be embodied as Dionysus, Christ, Narcissus or Orpheus, and the gospel he proclaims tells of the resurrection and freedom of the desiring subject. This book examines Szymanowski's exploration of the relationship between the authorial voice, mythology and eroticism within the context of the crisis of the modern subject in Western...
