Life and Work of Pauline Viardot Garcia, Vol. I: The Years of Fame 1836-1863
ISBN: 9781904303275 / Angielski / Twarda / 494 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The name of Pauline Viardot Garcia was well known during her lifetime, but after her death in 1910, she passed into obscurity. She was born in Paris in 1821, the youngest child of the Spanish tenor, Manuel Garcia; her sister was Maria Malibran, and her brother, Manuel Patrizio, was an eminent teacher of singing. The first volume of her biography ranges from 1836 until 1863 and covers the most important years of her operatic career. Several composers wrote for her, including Meyerbeer, for whom she created Fides in 'Le Prophete'; Saint Saens modelled the role of Delilah on her and Brahms...

Dissonance in the Republic of Letters: The Querelle Des Gluckistes Et Des Piccinnistes
ISBN: 9781907975547 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eighteenth-century French cultural life was often characterised by quarrels, and the arrival of Viennese composer Christoph Willibald Gluck in Paris in 1774 was no exception, sparking a five-year pamphlet and press controversy which featured a rival Neapolitan composer, NiccolO Piccinni. However, as this study shows, the Gluck-Piccinni controversy was about far more than which composer was better suited to lead French operatic reform. A consideration of cultural politics in 1770s Paris shows that a range of issues were at stake: court versus urban taste as the proper judge of music, whether...

Tolkien and Wagner: The Ring and Der Ring
ISBN: 9783905703214 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tolkien famously rejected comparison of his Ring with Wagners, though there is good evidence that Tolkien knew much more about Der Ring des Nibelungen than he let on after the publication of The Lord of the Rings. Analysis of that work from a Wagnerian point of view enables consideration of it in a new way. By exploring the parallels between Wagners Ring and Tolkiens, a fresh interpretation of Tolkiens work emerges, one that hinges on associating Gandalf with Wotan. Like Wagners god, Gandalf has to find a way of solving the problems posed by the Ring and like Wotan he cannot succeed without...

Vincenzo Bellini: Norma
ISBN: 9780521480369 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Norma is by common consent the finest of the ten operas composed during Vincenzo Bellini's short career. Professor Kimbell provides the biographical and cultural context of the opera, examines its artistic qualities and suggests something of the impression Norma has made on our imaginations and sensibilities in the 165 years since it was first produced in Milan. He considers the great interpretations of the eponymous leading role, while also embracing Bellini's work more generally by presenting some of the critical reactions to his music.

Britten's Gloriana: Essays and Sources
ISBN: 9781843837978 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume is based on a selection of papers presented during a study course devoted to Gloriana held at the Britten-Pears School for Advanced Musical Studies in 1991. Glorianahas been a source of controversy since its premiere as part of the Coronation celebrations in 1953. It was planned as a national opera of broad appeal by its authors, Benjamin Britten and William Plomer, but, despite wide coverage in the media, the opera failed to establish itself in the repertoire until a new production in 1966 revealed it to be a powerful and stageworthy work. In recent years it has attracted an...

Wagner and Tolkien: Mythmakers
ISBN: 9783905703252 / Angielski / Miękka / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Both Rings were round and there the resemblance ceases," wrote J.R.R. Tolkien about the rings in his epic The Lord of the Rings and Richard Wagner's opera cycle The Ring of the Nibelung. Or did he? The answer is not as straightforward as many Tolkien fans believe, whether they agree with the statement or consider it misguided. Nor is the statement itself as transparently defensive as some Wagner buffs suggest. Much has been said and written about Wagner and Tolkien, a subject that tends to generate a certain amount of heat, mostly due to the former's controversial status as Hitler's...

Die Oper «Król Roger» Von Karol Szymanowski
ISBN: 9783631385425 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die Oper Krol Roger (1918-1924, Urauffuhrung 1926) bildet das kunstlerische Credo des polnischen Komponisten Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937), der nach anfanglicher Zusammenarbeit mit seinem Cousin Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz (1894-1980) einer zentralen Gestalt der polnischen Dichtung des 20. Jahrhunderts das Libretto in eigener Regie umformte. Im Einklang mit der Ausrichtung der jungeren Opernforschung beschaftigt sich diese Studie gleichwertig mit der Genese von Libretto und Komposition, so dass Szymanowskis (lebens)philosophische Uberzeugungen ebenso zur Darstellung gelangen wie seine...

Opera in Old San Francisco: A Brief Anecdotal History

Gold was the lure Opera in the world's western hemisphere - whether sung in Italian, French, German, or English - began in the Spanish colonies of South and Central America. Years before operas were first staged in San Francisco, opera companies flourished in Lima, Santiago, Valparaiso, and Mexico City. Gold taken from the earth paid for opera houses and performers in the Spanish colonies - just as it would pay for them in San Francisco after the discovery of gold in California in 1848. And after gold was next discovered in Australia in 1851, performers continued there from California and to...
