Download or read book Menuhin written by Sir Humphrey Burton and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2000, when this biography was first published, Menuhin's name has not faded from public attention, as often happens in the decades after the death of a popular performing artist. Far from it: the centenary of his birth, April 22, 1916, is being marked by celebrations around the world.Yehudi Menuhin was born in New York of Russian Jewish immigrants. Prodigiously gifted, the 'Miracle Boy' gave his first solo recital aged eight and within five years was world-famous. Menuhin was a visionary individualist, who didn't mind shocking the establishment. His post-war support for the conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, and his determination to build bridges with the defeated German nation, brought him into sharp conflict with the Jewish establishment and DPs in Berlin. Later he spoke out against apartheid in South Africa and denounced the Soviet Union's oppressive policy towards writers and dissidents.Drawing on contemporary sources, unpublished family correspondence and radio interviews, Burton creates a compelling portrait of an extraordinary human being - one of the best-loved classical musicians of the twentieth century.
Download or read book Enesco written by Boris I︠A︡kovlevich Kotli︠a︡rov and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the great composer, violin virtuoso, piano virtuoso, and conductor (one of the most versatile musicians of our time), who is considered the father of Romanian nationalism in high-art music. Even after his death, young Romanian composers have turned to his scores in order to better understand the Romanian soul. In fact, his countrymen hold his memory in such regard that his hometown has been renamed after him. Nevertheless, his compositional style was cosmopolitan, with a distinctly Parisian flavor. (Indeed, we know his name in the spelling he adopted while living in France.) His most ambitious work was his four-act opera Oedipe, based on the Sophocles tragedy, but ending - unlike the original - on a note of triumph. This opera is extensively analyzed by the author, who has included in the text more than 80 musical examples from Enesco's works, making this book a must for music lovers who wish to become better acquainted with one of the masters of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Icons of American Protestantism written by David Morgan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although American Protestants often claim that they are opposed to the use of devotional images in their religious life, they in fact draw on a vast body of religious icons to disseminate confessional views, to teach, and to celebrate birthdays, baptisms, confirmations, and sacred holidays. This fascinating book focuses on the production, marketing, and reception of one such set of religious illustrations, the art of Warner Sallman (1892-1968), whose 1940 Head of Christ has been reproduced an estimated five hundred million times. Five scholars--three art historians, a church historian, and a historian of material culture--investigate various aspects of Sallman's career and art, in the process revealing much about the role of imagery in the everyday devotional life of American Protestants since the 1940s. The chapters examine Sallman's work in terms of the visual sources, media, and forms of use that shaped its making; its mass production, marketing, and distribution by publishers and vendors; and the commercial nature of Sallman's training and his work as an illustrator. Other chapters explore the reception of his religious imagery among those who admired it and saw in it a vision of the world as they would have it exist; the religious and theological context of conservative American Protestantism in which the imagery flourished; and its critical reception among liberal Protestant intelligentsia who despised Sallman's work and what it represented in popular Christianity. By placing Sallman's art in theological, ecclesiastical, and aesthetic perspective, the book sheds light on the evolving shape of twentieth-century American evangelicalism and its influence on modern American culture.

Download or read book Arthur Honegger written by Harry Halbreich and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 1999 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Honegger (1892--1955), Swiss by nationality, French by education and residence, was a major composer of the 20th century. Although he earned popular acclaim early in his career, in his later years his consistently tonal musical language was considered outmoded. His most significant works include five symphonies, a large body of chamber music, and several large-scale oratorios that combine choral and instrumental writing with declaimed narrative in a uniquely effective way.

Download or read book Ravel written by Roger Nichols and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new biography of Maurice Ravel (1875–1937), by one of the leading scholars of nineteenth- and twentieth-century French music, is based on a wealth of written and oral evidence, some newly translated and some derived from interviews with the composer’s friends and associates. As well as describing the circumstances in which Ravel composed, the book explores new evidence to present radical views of the composer’s background and upbringing, his notorious failure in the Prix de Rome, his incisive and often combative character, his sexual preferences, and his long final illness. It also contains the most detailed account so far published of his hugely successful American tour of 1928. The world of Maurice Ravel—including friendships (and some fallings-out) with Debussy, Faur�, Diaghilev, Gershwin, and Toscanini—is deftly uncovered in this sensitive portrait.
