Se i grandi compositori del passato avessero avuto a disposizione gli strumenti di oggi, con estensioni ben più ampie, avrebbero potuto comporre in libertà secondo ogni loro necessità espressiva. Avrebbero così potuto completare una linea melodica senza dover scendere di un'ottava o doverla affidare ad altri strumenti che disponevano di una tessitura più estesa. Questo libro (in quattro lingue: inglese, spagnolo e tedesco oltre italiano) presenta le "attualizzazioni" delle Nove Sinfonie e di tutte le composizioni sinfoniche e corali di Ludwig van Beethoven, che il Maestro Aldo Ceccato ha completato sulla scia di quanto intrapreso da Wagner e Mahler.

The Black Dog Opera Library is one of the most popular, informative, and budget-friendly ways to enjoy all the great operas.

Each book also includes an excellent Angel/EMI recording of the entire opera on two CDs, as well as commentary from experts in the field who guide you through the music as you listen. All of this for less than twenty dollars!
This book focuses on American opera singers and what their recordings say about their artistry. It is not a book about all American opera singers, since many who had important careers on stage, made few, if any, recordings. And many of those who did make recordings, did so prior to the introduction of electrical recording in 1925 (and the resulting advances in the reproduction of the human voice). Opera enthusiasts can only imagine the sound of Farinelli's voice or read what his contemporaries have written about it, but with almost any famous or near-famous singer of recent years, enthusiasts do not have to imagine. Their voices are available through the technology of sound recording. There are 53 entries, one each for 52 singers and a composite entry for a group of Hollywood vocalists. Each entry contains biographical information and is followed by a discography of operatic recordings to be used in conjunction with the critical commentaries. The entries are in alphabetical order by the singer's last name and provide critical analyses of key recordings and of the artists' gifts and limitations.
Includes miscellaneous newsletters, bulletins, programs, brochures, articles, calendars, histories, and posters.
Walter Legge was one of the greatest ever record producers. His many other activities included founding a great orchestra, the Philharmonia, which he ran for eighteen years as a 'benevolent dictator'. Music formed the central core of his life, but the printed word was also a vital source of inspiration and education. In his writings Walter Legge reveals clearly the many facets of his own remarkable personality, and from his correspondence with the great names of his day we gain rich insight into the musical world in which he played so great a part.
