Rossini in Restoration Paris
Angebote / Angebote:
Best remembered today for such lighthearted works as Il barbiere di Siviglia, Gioachino Rossini produced a sequence of large-scale serious French operas after his move to Paris in 1824 which overwhelmed audiences with their musical power. They also responded in a wide variety of ways to the conflicted social and political dynamics of the French Restoration. This book examines their enormous success in 1820s Paris. In place of the comic Rossini of later memory, Benjamin Walton argues for a composer whose music resonated with the experience of contemporary life, and was integrally bound up in the struggle to define French romanticism at the time.
