Download or read book Verdi written by George Whitney Martin and published by London, Macmillan. This book was released on 1963 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Giuseppe Verdi, the titan of Italian opera, was very much a man of his times, and an understanding of them is essential to a full appreciation of his masterpieces. Both his music and life were part of the Risorgimento, the movement that established Italian unity and independence. He represented his district in assemblies, ran for office, and served in the first parliament of the Italian kingdom. With such operas as Aida, La Traviata and Rigoletto, he ranks as one of the world's most popular composers, yet he hardly fits the world's image of that role. At the age of eighteen, he was rejected by the Conservatory of Milan and throughout his life he was a farmer and an astute business man. He developed his talents over a long life, composing Otello at 73, Falstaff at 79 and his last works in his eighties. If musical genius can be won by hard work, Verdi accomplished it. In his personal life, he was a paradox. He loathed publicity, yet composed for the stage. Almost a recluse in his search for privacy, he spoke with his music to the hearts of men, as he did in the scope of his charities. Tragedy struck early with the deaths of his first wife and two young children. Subsequently, he created a furor in his small home town by bringing his mistress, the renowned soprano Strepponi, back to live there and ten years later he wed her to enjoy one of the most successful marriages in the history of music. But the town never forgot nor forgave. George Martin, an officer and director of the Metropolitan Opera Guild and author of the 'The Opera Companion: A Guide for the Casual Operagoer,' describes the restless years through which Verdi lived and gives a dynamic picture of their impact upon the man and musician. Based upon the latest research, to which the author has himself contributed, and including several of Verdi's letters which are published here for the first time, this definitive biography is a fitting tribute to the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the composer's birth. Includes musical illustrations, bibliography, appendices, index." --Dust jacket.
Download or read book Verdi the Man and His Music written by Carlo Gatti and published by London : Victor Gollancz. This book was released on 1955 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Il Trovatore, La Traviata, Aida, Otello, Falstaff--such are the operas which mark Giuseppe Verdi as one of the most successful of all operatic composers. He knew personal tragedy and frustration in the course of his long life (1813-1901), some of his early operas failed, and in his later years he found his reputation overshadowed by that of Wagner, yet few musicians have been so universally acclaimed and rewarded as Verdi. Today his talents are taken far more seriously by critics than they were fifty years ago, and his operas are immensely popular. The remarkable development of his small-town organist and choirmaster, who at nearly sixty produced the imposing and ever popular Aïda, at seventy-four the intensely dramatic Otello and at eighty the comic miracle of Falstaff, is now recognized. But Verdi was more than a great musician. He was a singularly lovable and human person, a formidable businessman, an ardent patriot. He knew and corresponded with all the great men of his day--musicians, artists and statesmen. Princes and peasants were his friends. Life on his farm at Sant'Agata was as dear to him as the applause at the world premiere of one of his operas. Carlo Gatti, who has spent a lifetime in the study of the maestro, has told his story in masterly fashion. His biography gives not only a full account of Verdi's activities as composer, but also describes his intimate life and the background of the stirring times in which he lived. It is a full, carefully detailed, heartwarming portrait, an inspiring study of a well-spent life. For many years one of Italy's leading music critics, Carlo Gatti is the author of several other musical biographies, including a life of Catalani. His 'Verdi' may be considered the standard biography. Originally published in 1939 and acclaimed throughout the music world, an English version is overdue. The present translation has been done by Elisabeth Abbott." --Dust jacket.

Book excerpt: In this third edition of the classic Verdi, renowned authority Julian Budden offers a comprehensive overview of Verdi the man and the artist, tracing his ascent from humble beginnings to the status of a cultural patriarch of the new Italy, whose cause he had done much to promote, and demonstrating the gradual enlargement over the years of his artistic vision. This concise study is an accessible, insightful, and engaging summation of Verdi scholarship, acquainting the non-specialist with the personal details Verdi's life, with the operatic world in which he worked, and with his political ideas, his intellectual vision, and his powerful means of communicating them through his music. In his survey of the music itself, Budden emphasizes the unique character of each work as well as the developing sophistication of Verdi's style. He covers all of the operas, the late religious works, the songs, and the string quartet. A glossary explains even the most obscure operatic terms current in Verdi's time.
