This comprehensive research guide surveys the most significant published materials relating to Giuseppe Verdi. This new edition includes research since the publication of the first edition in 1998.
Giuseppe Verdi: Composer
As one of few composers to be considered a giant in the realm of universally accepted operatic works as well as a source of national Italian identity, Giuseppe Verdis repertoire is one of the most widely performed in history. Although much of Verdis life remains a mystery, the composers insistence on his peasant upbringing was somewhat untruthful; he grew up comfortablya learned man. Detailing Verdis confused past, this book aims to confirm the world-renowned composers personal history as well as debunk any of the embellishments the ageing maestro promulgated himself.
The Life and Times of Giuseppe Verdi
Giuseppe Verdi was born in obscurity in a tiny Italian village in 1813. When he died in 1901, hundreds of thousands of people turned out to pay their respects to the man whom many people consider as the best opera composer of all time. His career spanned more than half a century and included such successes as Rigoletto, La Traviata, Il Trovatore, Otello, Falstaff, and Aida, the most often-performed work at New York s Metropolitan Opera. Yet when he applied at a famous music school in Milan, he was turned down because he was lacking in musical talent. He not only proved the school wrong but became an important figure in Italian politics during the turbulent era when the scattered provinces came together to form a new nation. Along the way, he overcame obstacles such as the death of his first wife and two small children and the humiliation of being booed during the premiere of one of his early operas.
