Ernte von zweihundert Sonnen


Book Description

Dieses Werk entsteht aus dem Bedürfnis zu schreien, aus der Tiefe, die Schmerzen und die Lage des ausgebeuteten Indigenen, wie er selbst das erlebt, schreit und weint in seinen Gebeten, voller Tränen und mystischer Erhebung. Aus diesem Grund sind seine Charaktere gnadenlos wirklich, da sie aus Tausenden von Männern, Frauen, alten Menschen und Kindern abgeleitete Verdichtung sind.

Rigoletto


Book Description

The subject cannot fail!' exulted Verdi, when recommending Victor Hugo's play Le Roi s'amuse to his librettist. But the censors made every effort to stop it, and the baritone was not easily convinced that a hunchback role would suit him. Jonathan Keates gives a vivid insight into the composition of a masterpiece. Verdi long afterwards thought it his best work, and Roger Parker explains why. Peter Nichols, author of several bestselling books in Italy, picks out some of the peculiarly Italian attitudes and characters in the opera which make it timeless - and incredibly modern.Contents: Introduction, Jonathan Keates; Musical Commentary, Roger Parker; The Timelessness of 'Rigoletto', Peter Nichols; Rigoletto: Text by Francesco Maria Piave after Victor Hugo's 'Le Roi s'amuse'; Rigoletto: English translation by James Fenton
