A Further increase in salary had marked the directors' appreciation of Manns' services the year before, when for the second time his friend Grove had the gratifying task of writing officially to him as follows: --April nth, 1871. My Dear Sir, I have the pleasure to inform you that at the last board the question of your remuneration was brought before the Directors, and that it was unanimously resolved to increase the same from 500 to 600 a year, commencing from the 1st of September last. I am glad to inform you that the resolution was accompanied by many expressions on the part of the Directors of confidence in you and satisfaction at the result of your labours. Yours faithfully, (Signed) G. grove, Secretary. During the next season (1871-72), similar herculean labours were in store for Manns. The Beethoven Festival had proved so great an attraction that a Mendelssohn Commemoration on similar lines was planned. Space fails to allow a description, or even a complete list, of the works performed, which were, as far as possible, arranged in a chronological order. At that time he lived with his family at Balham, in a house adjoining St. Mary's Church in the High Road. Not satisfied with the volume of regular work that fell to his lot, he undertook for a short time the training of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giacomo Meyerbeer was once one of the most famous of all opera composers, enjoying into the twentieth century the same universal admiration and performance as a composer like Puccini does today. Through a series of adverse factors, his reputation was seriously damaged with the resurgence of nationalism and the growing ant-Semitism in France and Germany at the end of the nineteenth century, the propagation of a Wagnerian operatic aesthetic, the decline of the bel canto vocal tradition, and the disfavour manifested towards the heroism of French grand opera. All these factors, and especially the ban on his music in Nazi Germany, meant that Meyerbeer’s reputation was seriously overshadowed in the years after the Second World War. During the 1960s and 1970s, a tentative interest began to manifest itself, and with the advent of the new millennium, a growing rediscovery of his operas has been apparent. Not least in this process has been the recovery of all the composer’s private papers and their scholarly editing. His life and work have been the subject of a growing number of informed studies which have enabled radical reassessment. This volume takes a fresh look at this process of rediscovery by considering the composer in terms of the primary sources (diaries and letters) now available for forming a more complete and detailed biography unclouded by prejudicial or uninformed opinions. The extraordinary nature of Meyerbeer’s Jewish background and the role of this family in Prussian emancipation are also considered. Most importantly, however, his life and works are presented in a critical chronology that is fundamentally based on his own private papers, with testimony (both positive and negative) from many contemporary sources. A detailed iconography is integral to this process, and helps to bring Meyerbeer's story and music more vividly to life.
