Es ist an der Zeit, die Frau kennenzulernen, über die wir in den letzten 300 Jahren hätten sprechen sollen: Dies ist die Geschichte von Anna Maria della Pietà.Venedig, 18. Jahrhundert: Die junge Anna Maria wächst in einem Waisenhaus auf, und als sie zum ersten Mal eine Geige in der Hand hält, verändert sich ihr Leben - denn für Anna ist die Musik mit allen Sinnen erlebbar, sie übertrifft alle Mitschülerinnen an Talent, Ehrgeiz und Willensstärke. Antonio Vivaldi nimmt sie schnell als Schülerin an, und gemeinsam spielen sie nicht nur Musik, sondern beginnen, zu komponieren. Schon bald geht es Anna nicht mehr nur um das bloße Wiedergeben von vorgegebenen Noten- sie will selbst etwas Großes erschaffen und im Rampenlicht stehen, endlich Anerkennung bekommen für ihre Leistungen. Doch diese Art von Ehrgeiz steht ihr als Frau nicht zu, und Vivaldi wird alles tun, um den Ruhm für sich zu behalten ...

Considers Boult's interpretations of Elgar's major works by drawing on their correspondence, Boult's annotated scores, broadcast performances, commercial recordings and press reviews, ranging from the composer's lifetime to Boult's final public appearances.Edward Elgar (1857-1934) and Adrian Boult (1889-1983) first met in 1904 and they saw each other frequently over the next thirty years. This book documents how Boult's Elgar interpretations evolved and the ways in which Boult drew on his experience of Elgar's own performances as well as their personal contacts. It provides fascinating biographical context, with a particular focus on the role played by the charismatic music patron Frank Schuster. A misunderstanding led to Elgar and Boult falling out in 1924 and it was not until 1931 that Elgar sought to restore their friendship. The book considers Boult's interpretations of Elgar's major works, drawing on a variety of sources including Boult's annotated scores as well as his broadcasts and commercial recordings of Elgar's music, ranging from those made in the composer's last years to Boult's final public appearances in 1978. The view of contemporary critics provides further evidence. All the works with which Boult was closely associated are considered in detail: the two symphonies, The Dream of Gerontius, The Kingdom and The Apostles and orchestral works including the Enigma Variations, Falstaff and the Violin and Cello Concertos. The text is complemented by appendices including a chronology of performances and a discography. These provide invaluable information for anyone interested in this fascinating composer-conductor relationship, and in Boult's advocacy of Elgar's music throughout his long career.

Paperback

Sirota delves deeply into the reasons church musicians do their jobs in the face of poor pay and limited opportunities for advancement, offering the reader a pastoral understanding without avoiding the challenging questions that every church musician must consider. She has an uncanny ability to name that which lies at the heart of the sacred artist's craft. <BR><BR> Addressed directly and conversationally to the working musician in church or synagogue and those with whom they work, Sirota explores issues that are well-chosen for their understanding of "insider's information" and sensibilities to art, beauty, scripture, and pastoral care. Her personal reflection is balanced with probing questions from someone who's "been there" and is well-known to multi-denominational church musicians, as a gifted preacher and writer, a scholar, and a professional performing artist.

Ballet impresario Sergey Pavlovich Diaghilev and composer Sergey Sergeyevich Prokofiev are eminent figures in twentieth-century cultural history, yet this is the first detailed account of their fifteen-year collaboration. Stephen D. Press discusses the genesis of each ballet, including the important contributions of the scenic designers (Mikhail Larionov, Georgy Yakulov and Georges Rouault) and the choreographer/dancers (Léonid Massine, Serge Lifar and George Balanchine), and the special relationship between the ballets' progenitors.

Filling an important gap in scholarship, Professor Cowden's new bibliography provides complete and authoritative information on major conductors of permanent orchestral ensembles since the time of von Weber and Berlioz. Cowden has selected 1,249 conductors on the basis of citations in standard music references, biographical studies, autobiographies, and contributions to the pedagogy of conducting. Publications in English and several European languages are cited. The first section, Collective Works, gives detailed information on titles devoted to concert and opera conductors and related titles containing additional material on conductors and conducting. The section on individual conductors is arranged alphabetically by artist. Further sources and references are offered in appendixes and an index of authors is included.
