Tchaikovsky, a giant in the pantheon of nineteenth-century composers, continues to fascinate audiences. This prolific and revered composer's works are perennial favorites, from the Nutcracker—arguably the most popular ballet regularly performed—to Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty; to the operas Eugene Onegin and Pique Dame, to the Symphony Pathetique and the perennially thrilling, canon-blasting 1812 Overture. Now, a prominent Tchaikovsky researcher, Roland John Wiley, has written a new biography aimed at students and music lovers in the old Master Musicians approach. Wiley thoughtfully draws on imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet era archives to provide a more fair look at recent debates regarding the composer's marriage, death, and sexuality. The author weaves together biographical information with lucid musical analysis to provide a satisfying narrative. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A giant in the pantheon of 19th century composers, Tchaikovsky continues to enthrall audiences today. From the Nutcracker--arguably the most popular ballet currently on the boards--Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty, to Eugene Onegin and Pique Dame, to the Symphony Pathetique and the always rousing, canon-blasting 1812 Overture--this prolific and beloved composer's works are perennial favorites. Now, John Wiley, a renowned Tchaikovsky scholar, provides a fresh biography aimed in classic Master Musicians style at the student and music lover. Wiley deftly draws on documents from imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet era sources, providing a more balanced look at recent controversies surrounding the marriage, death, and sexuality of the composer. The author dovetails the biographical material with separate chapters that treat the music thoroughly and fully, work-by-work, with more substantial explorations of Tchaikovsky's most familiar compositions. These analyses present new, even iconoclastic perspectives on the music and the composer's intent and expression. Several informative appendices, in the Master Musicians format, include an exhaustive list of works and bibliography. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
