Review

‘Verdi’s extraordinary life makes for compelling reading. Barbara Meier reflects the energy of this man who, more than a centruy after his death, still dominates the opera repertoire, his familiar tunes whistled and hummed on the street.’
Petroc Trelawny, BBC Radio 3 Presenter

Feature

★ Highly praised by a BBC Radio 3 presenter, it tells the extraordinary life of Verdi with delicate writing, featuring a gripping narrative that is highly engaging for readers.
★ Both authors are senior researchers in the field of classical music – one is a specialist in composer studies, and the other a Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge, delivering professional and authoritative interpretations of Verdi.
★ It recreates Verdi’s opera creation and life struggles, depicting both his artistic pursuit and his love for his country, shaping a rich and vivid portrait of the great composer.

Description

Giuseppe Verdi, the popular genius behind Rigoletto, Aida and La Traviata, continues to enthral audiences with his daring music and stories of love and death. His life was as dramatic and passionate as his music. As this biography shows, he was always fighting: for Italy’s liberty and nationhood and for his own artistic freedom against the censors, opera impresarios and the authorities.

Author

BARBARA MEIER has written widely on classical composers, including Mahler, Strauss, Schoenberg and Robert Schumann.

ROGER PARKER, Professor of Music and Fellow of St John’s College, Cambridge, is the author of the Oxford History of Opera (1996) and the Verdi entry in the New Grove Dictionary of Music.
