Ring-Rise Ring-Set

Julia Macrae

<p>This book by an expert on the subject is most warmly recommended to all those who treasure the German solo song with accompaniment as one of the germ cells of European music. It embraces its theme in a thorough and scholarly fashion, opening up new ways of understanding and appreciating the German Lied. The author has tried to describe the paths that this art-form has taken, to suggest ways and means of becoming acquainted with the many less well-known, but still very beautiful songs and, above all, of overcoming the seeming barrier of the German language. The book is the result of many years' work with groups of all sorts: school, university, adult, who convinced the author of the joys to be gained by the non-specialist from these songs.</p>

Lieder: An Introduction to German Song

Whitton, Kenneth

Music

Michael Langdon, the internationally known bass, grew up as a singer during the great post-war period at Covent Garden, under the direction of Sir David Webster, with conductors such as Beecham, Kubelik, Giulini and Solti. Notes from a Low Singer not only chronicles a career, but also gives a real feeling for the life of a singer, with its hard work, rewards, and disappointments. Few people realize how lonely and disruptive it can be to travel the world singing in unfamiliar opera houses with unfamiliar colleagues; it is a life which does indeed have its glamorous side, but it also has its much less well-known and far from glamorous aspects, which Michael Langdon puts into realistic and often wildly humorous perspective. He is expecially interesting on the long, slow, meticulous study he undertook before performing his most famous role, Baron Ochs in Der Rosenkavalier, and of how that first assumption changed over the years. From front flap of dust jacket.
