Very serious effort was made to place the man in the context of his time. There are bits the non-musician finds a little slow, but the effort is rewarded. there are more concise biographies of the man, but like Martin Gilbert's life of Winston S. Churchill (9 volumes) when one is done, you have a lifetime of factoids to drop on the unwary. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Ernest Newman's four-volume Life of Wagner, originally published between 1933 and 1947, remains a classic work of biography. The culmination of forty years' research on the composer and his works (Newman's first Study of Wagner was first published in 1899), these books present a detailed portrait of perhaps the most influential, the most controversial and the most frequently reviled composer in the whole history of western music. Newman was aware that no biography can ever claim to be complete or completely accurate: 'The biographer can at no stage hope to have reached the final truth. All he can do is to make sure that whatever statement he may make, whatever conclusion he may come to, shall be based on the whole of the evidence available at the time of writing.' In this aim he triumphantly succeeds. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
