Lang's experienced and wise pen flicks from Gluck to the big 19th century names to Strauss and the rise of opera in English. It's an engaging-enough history although not one of the first books I'd think to grab on this subject. But if you find it on your travels, and would like to learn a little more about the changes that have impacted opera over the last 400 years (at least up until Britten), it's entertaining. Some good material later in the book, too, on interpreting the works for the theatre within a mid-20th century context. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Based on Lang's experience as music critic of the New York Herald Tribune, this book preserves the immediate reactions of a working reviewer, his on-the-spot responses to the actual experience of theatrical productions, spanning the active repertory from Gluck to the present day. It is at once an introduction to the art of opera and a rich repository of perceptions about the changing nature and esthetics of musical theater. All of the major composers are discussed: Gluck, Mozart, Beethoven, Rossini, Donizetti, Beelini, Verdi, Wagner, Puccini, Strauss, Berg, and Stravinsky. There are also chapters on opera buffa, verismo, French opera, Russian opera, American opera, operetta, opera in English, and opera in concert form. --book jacket.
