Book Synopsis The Toscanini Mystique by : Kenneth A. Christensen
Download or read book The Toscanini Mystique written by Kenneth A. Christensen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenneth A. Christensens THE TOSCANINI MYSTIQUE, is the first full length biography about the legendary Italian conductors life and career in almost thirty-five years. Maestro Toscanini had a frigid and extremely unhappy childhood, along with a severe musical education at the Parma Conservatory. This unglamorized account of a gifted teenagers professional conducting debut at Rio de Janerios Teatro Imperial, is told as it really happened. Toscanini was married to a ballerina, Carla De Martini, who bore him four children, but also had an illegitimate son with a gifted soprano, who was born retarded. Toscaninis vulgar mistreatment of nearly all the singers and musicians who performed under his direction was legendary, and is examined with unusual insight about his uncanny memory and talent for musical recreation. The recollection of many famous artists including Caruso, Debussy, Kreisler, Puccini, Stravinsky, Verdi, and Wagners descendants are quoted alongside his confrontations with Hitler, Mussolini and the Sicilian mafia. But the Maestro also was the most generous of all musicians, donating both his time and talents to many worthwhile charities, for which he received no financial compensation. The life of this great conductor is presented as the struggles of a musical and theatrical reformer, who was a major historical figure that just happened to be one of the greatest musicians who ever lived. Mr. Christensen has painstakingly wrote his narrative, using all the previous biographies and magazine articles on his life, the scripts of two video documentaries and the liner notes for the most widely available re-releases of his recordings. He rewrote and clarified the awkward original Italian translations for non-specialist readers and has supplied new English translations for the numerous operatic titles and other musical works as well as all the foreign language newspapers, magazines and theatres mentioned in the text. In addition, he has provided professional critiques on the most widely available Toscanini recordings from RCA Victors Arturo Toscanini Collection, and historic reissues of Toscaninis NBC radio broadcast concerts. Here was a man, who had the nerve to stand up to world dictators and fought hard to prevent the Western worlds supreme musical masterpieces from being abused and mistreated, but without taking any credit for laboriously recreating all these composers inspiration. He enjoyed to play practical jokes on his family and friends, but this humorous side is known only through letters, because Toscanini never published any autobiography or memoirs about his art. Toscanini gave the world premieres of 14 operas, including Leoncavallos Pagliacci, and three by Puccini, including La Boheme, La Fanciulla del West and Turandot. Toscanini served as musical director: the Teatro Regio in Turino (1895-98), La Scala in Milano (1898-1908), New Yorks Metropolitan Opera (1908-1915), barely missed dying upon the Lusitania, becoming musical director of La Scala again (1920-1929), the New York Philharmonic (1926-1936), and the NBC Symphony Orchestra (1937-1954). In between, he also guest conducted at the Bayreuth, Salzburg and Lucerne Festivals and conducted the inaugural concerts of the Palestine Symphony. Toscanini then recorded his most important repertory with the BBC Symphony and the Philadelphia Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic and NBC Symphony Orchestras, alongside the Robert Shaw Chorale and such esteemed soloists as Jascha Heifetz, Rudolf Serkin, plus, his own son-in-law Vladimir Horowitz. His seven operatic recordings featured Jan Peerce, Helen Traubel, Richard Tucker, Giuseppe di Stefano, Rose Bampton, Cesare Siepi, Herva Nelli, Licia Albanese, Robert Merrill, Jussi Bjoerling, Lauritz Melchior, and many other gifted singers and musicians of the past, whose names alone are too much to mention.

Book Synopsis Tales and Truths From The Southernmost Point by : Cindy de León
Download or read book Tales and Truths From The Southernmost Point written by Cindy de León and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-07-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The island of Key West located on the Southernmost Point of the United States has always been a place known for its uniqueness and mystery. Many people that don't know the island, perhaps, believe it is a place to just have fun, relax, and go on vacation - but the small island has and always has had so much more to give. It is a very nurturing place where real families live and thrive. This is well known to the writer because it was where she grew up. These island stories are inspired by the lives and struggles of those she loved, her ancestors, and sometimes her own life. Many of the characters are larger than life and perhaps unimaginable, but such is the essence of the people who have lived on the island for centuries. Those people were and still are fighters and survivors and there is no better way to celebrate them than to give the reader a bit of that spice and many times, reality, the stories bring with them. The tales are dramatic, colorful, and sometimes humorous. The people of the island, her people, are imperfect, bold, vivacious, friendly, sensitive, and very outspoken. She wants the stories to touch the reader like the people of the island have touched the hearts of so many for so long. She wishes the reader to have the experience of jumping into the warm saltwater existence of a place that transcends time, sleeps, and awakens to a new life, even amidst storms. These stories are not for cowards, they may contain challenging truths, strong language, and situations that may cause people to think, but like the people they speak of, they also contain the balsam of healing, love, understanding, forgiveness, and peace because the author truly believes it is a place populated with lessons and blessings from above.
