The first full-length study of the last great era of Italian opera
"A composer of delicate and 'otherworldly' music, Catalani demands the re-evaluation that David Chandler herewith provides in a fascinating book which gathers together the earliest biographical writings on Catalani, the composer's earliest surviving letters, and some account of his cultural afterlife in the first age of recorded music. For anyone wanting to know more about Catalani, and the issues surrounding his career, this will be essential reading." -Konrad Dryden Dr. Dryden is Professor of Music at the University of Maryland University College Europe and author of 'Ruggiero Leoncavallo: Life and Works', 'Franco Alfano: Transcending Turandot' and 'Riccardo Zandonai: A Biography.'
The decision to write a book about my observation of people and events in my life journey from my native Italy to Australia was taken when coming out of my work life , I was suddenly made aware that the tools of literacy required were somewhat diff erent from the tools of my trade , where sharpness was essential as bluntness was for the book. I apologize on behalf of my tools while I defend the message they convey : I love both Italy and Australia. But being born in a particular part of the world should not impede or curtail our criticism of it, man's history is a tragic testimony of that, where sons and daughters have continued conflicts initiated by their fathers with their own criticism muted by the unquestioned love for the parent couple: Father Land; thus sadly neglecting the apolitically stateless Mother - Nature .
