JULIAN BUDDEN

"THE DENT MASTER MUSICIANS"

The classic Verdi, renowned authority Julian Budden offers a comprehensive overview of Verdi the man and the artist. Budden traces his ascent from humble beginnings to the status of a cultural patriarch of the new Italy, whose cause he had done much to promote, while demonstrating the gradual enlargement of his artistic vision over the years. This concise study is an accessible, insightful, and engaging summation of Verdi scholarship, acquainting the non-specialist with the personal details of 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.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS All items sent by ordinary mail, obviously we cannot be held responsible for any delays, loss or damage by Australia Post.
