Par WASSELIN / VOAKE. Le père d'Hector Berlioz voulait que, comme lui, son fils soit médecin. Lui fut marqué pour toujours par la musique le jour de sa première communion. Au moment où il commence à étudier la musique, Hector apprend aussi à lire les cartes de géographie. Il rêve de partir en voyage, de devenir marin ! De chez lui, on voit les Alpes mais il essaie de regarder plus loin encore : derrière les montagnes, il y a l'Italie... Plus tard, Berlioz sera un grand voyageur. Il mettra toujours des paysages dans sa musique. / / Livre / Livres

(+)
Par ROUSSET CHRISTOPHE. Ecrire un ouvrage sur Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764), pour un claveciniste et chef d'orchestre comme Christophe Rousset, c'est se voir offrir l'occasion d'abord de rendre hommage à un immense compositeur, mais encore de faire partager le regard du praticien familier de son oeuvre. aussi l'intention de l'auteur n'est-elle pas d'n livrer ici une monographie exhaustive, ni d'ériger une statue à sa gloire, mais plutôt de proposer, grâce à une approche plus intime de cet artiste aux multiples facettes, une sorte de portrait en radioscopie. Complexe, en effet, fut et reste Tameau : quel compositeur suscita davantage la polémque, fut autant joué et parodié de son vivant, écrivit autant d'articles et d'ouvrages théoriques, acquit enfin semblable réputation de théoricien et d'homme de science, au point de rendre le musicien en lui plus difficile d'accès ? Cet ouvrage ne le rendra certainement pas plus fameux, ni plus facile. Mais il se propose de guide les lecteurs dans son univers si particulier et peut-être de le leur rendre plus proche, plus attachant. Comme tous les volumes de la collection 'Classica', ce livre est enrichi de repères chronologiques, d'une discographie et d'un index. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Par TUBEUF ANDRE. Une nouvelle étude sur le compositeur de La Traviata ? Oui, mais pas seulement. C'est un véri - table parcours avec Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) que nous offre André Tubeuf. Cette quête per - son nelle, qui débute par une analyse stimulante du célêbre Requiem, nous emporte très loin sur les sentiers de la révélation. Au bout du chemin, nous redécouvrons un grand génie du thétre lyrique - une grande voix de la musique, tout simplement. Comme tous les volumes de la collection ' Classica ' , ce Verdi est enrichi d'un index, de re pères bibliographiques et d'une discographie. / Relié / Livre / Livres

(+)
Par ANGER VIOLAINE. «Voyez ce corps!» A la derniêre scêne de Roméo et Juliette, Capulets et Montaigus, accourus au tombeau, sont face à  l'évidence: ce drame est le résultat de leurs vaines luttes fratricides. Dans l'oeuvre d'Hector Berlioz, le père Laurence désigne les deux amants dont ils voient horrifiés que «le sang fume encore!». Or, il n'y a aucun corps sur scêne puisque Roméo et Juliette n'existent qu'en musique. Pourtant, tout le monde «voit» ce qui n'est pas là  . Ce faisant, Berlioz redécouvre un fondement du thétre: non pas la vision, mais la croyance en la «présence» de ce qui est absent. Il y est amené par sa musique, narrative et évocatrice comme un roman, capable de faire exister un monde sans aucun support scénique. Ses oeuvres explorent ainsi ce qu'est, dans son fondement, l'incarnation thétrale: le rôle dramatique de la musique, la nature du personnage de thétre, la valeur du chant face au parler, l'émotion artistique sont totalement repensés. Aventure d'une vie, parcours chronologique aussi bien que logique, son oeuvre scénique s'avêre prodigieusement novatrice, pressentant le XXIe siècle. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Par PORCILE FRANCOIS. Originaire de la région du Suffolk, Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) est élêve de Frank Bridge puis boursier au Royal College of Music de Londres. D'abord compositeur pour le cinéma, il rencontre le ténor Peter Pears (1910-1986, son futur compagnon et interprê-te) en 1937 avec qui il s'exilera trois ans aux USA pendant la guerre. Ses premiers opéras, Peter Grimes (1945) et Le viol de Lucrêce (1946), le poussent à  créer sa compagnie, English Opera Group, privilégiant ensuite des formes réduites pour en faciliter les productions, comme Albert Herring (1947), Le tour d'écrou (1954) ou les Paraboles d'église (1964-68), tout en composant encore des piêces imposantes comme Billy Budd (1951), Le Songe d'une nuit d'été (1960) ou son testamentaire Mort à  Venise (1973). Pacifiste et ami de Rostropovitch et Chos-takovitch en pleine Guerre froide, il est anobli en 1973 par Elisabeth II. Parmi ses à ?uvres orchestrales, le public affectionne toujours son Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. . . / Broché / Livre / Livres

Par MORRIER DENIS. 2017 : 450° anniversaire Compositeur italien protéiforme autant qu'incontournable, Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) est un auteur majeur de la musique européenne, qui a assuré la transition de la période Renaissance à  la période Baroque. Originaire de Crémone, il a longtemps servit les Ducs de Mantoue avant de finir sa carriêre à  Saint-Marc de Venise. Son opéra ' L'Orfeo ' est souvent considéré comme le premier véritable opéra de l'histoire de la musique, en tant que tragédie musicale. Mais la musique vocale de Monteverdi (Messes et Madrigaux) renferme aussi bien de multiples richesses. Denis Morrier, spécialiste de cette période, célêbre ce 450° anniversaire avec une biographie illustrée inédite sur ce maître italien, complétée de nombreuses annexes pratiques. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Par FRANCOIS-SAPPEY B.. Peut-on définir le postromantisme ? Si aucun des compositeurs allemands ne s?en est revendiqué, nombre d?entre eux se ressentent romantiques, bien au-delà de la période couramment reconnue comme l?apogée de ce mouvement. Quant à lui attribuer une aire d?extension, le monde germanique lui a offert dans un XIXe siècle très allongé un terrain produisant de riches récoltes. Parcourant le siècle qui se termine avec la mort de Richard Strauss (1949), Brigitte François-Sappey présente les acteurs principaux de ce qui a fait de Vienne et de Berlin le creuset de toutes les expériences artistiques. Tous les compositeurs marquants y convergent et trouvent dans l?effervescence qui anime ces deux capitales le lieu d?épanouissement de leur talent, où même les créateurs reconnus en rupture (Schoenberg, Berg, Webern, Hindemith ou Weill) ne renient pas l?héritage d?expressivité propre au caractère romantique. Docteur ès lettres, professeur honoraire au Conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Paris, Brigitte François-Sappey est l?auteur d?ouvrages sur Robert Schumann (Fayard, 2000, 2003), Clara Schumann (Papillon, 2002), Felix Mendelssohn (Fayard, 2003, 2008) et de La Musique dans l?Allemagne romantique (Fayard, 2009). / Broché / Livre / Livres

Par GINER BRUNO. Aprês des études d'ingénieur imposées par son père, Edgard Varêse (1883-1965) travaille la musique avec d'Indy, Roussel, Widor, R. Strauss et Busoni. Emigré en 1915 aux Etats-Unis où il devient un pionnier de la musique électronique, il crée en 1954 Déserts, qui suscite un scandale comparable à  celui du Sacre du Printemps de Stravinski en 1913. Il aura mis 15 ans pour accoucher de lui-même, 18 pour écrire la plupart de ses oeuvres (d'Amériques à  Density 21,5), 14 de traversée du désert et 15 autres pour terminer son oeuvre et signer sa postérité (Déserts, Poême électronique, Nocturnal). Hormis une quinzaine d'oeuvres abouties, la vie de Varêse est une véritable quête balisée par une succession de projets inachevés ou inaboutis. Pour autant, une imagination fertile et débordante alliée à  une force de travail impressionnante, lui ont permis de réaliser une oeuvre singuliêre, fulgurante et d'une modernité sans faille, qui continue, à  juste titre, de fasciner le public. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Par CORDISCO-RESPIGHI N.. Descendant de plusieurs générations de musiciens, Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) naît en Toscane puis bénéficie d'une bourse pour étudier à  Milan, où vivant un peu comme son futur Rodolpho de La Bohême, il rencontre son premier librettiste, Fontana, qui lui propose Le Villi. Soutenu par Boito et édité par Ricordi, Puccini connaît ainsi son premier succês lyrique et tombe amoureux d'Elvira qui lui donnera un fils. Aprês l'échec d'Edgar lorgnant vers le Grand Opéra, Puccini trouvera sa voie principalement dans les drames amoureux : Manon Lescaut, La Bohême, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, La fanciulla del West, La Rondine ou encore l'incahevé Turandot. Seul Gianni Schicchi, en 1 acte, lorgne vers le comique. En Puccini coexistent l'artiste et l'homme, avec toutes ses contradictions et ses défauts, laissant finalement - seulement - 14 opéras, pour la plupart devenus des incontournables du répertoire lyrique. Cet ouvrage inédit sur le maestro italien propose de nombreuses illustrations et des exemples musicaux permettant de mieux aborder ce répertoire lyrique, ainsi que des annexes pratiques. / Broché / Livre / Livres

The definitive biography and critical study of Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) this volume deals at length not only with with the composer's musical achievements but also with aspects of his life and workthat made him one of the most important cultural figures in eighteenth-century France. Fascinating incidents include his central position in a musical controversy that excited the enmity of Rousseau Diderot and theEncyclopedists; his friendship and collaboration with Voltaire; and his position as the author of a treatise on harmony that endured for two centuries. This critical evaluation focuses chiefly on Rameau's musical works devoting entire chapters to his operas and ballets as well as his chamber music cantatas and motets and minor works. Additional topics include his links to Lully his influence on Gluck and the nature and importance of hisacoustic and harmonic theories. Supplements include more than 300 musical examples numerous useful approaches indexes an extensive bibliography and a new introduction by the distinguished musicologist and historian PhilipGossett.

(+)
He lived in the shadow of death painfully aware of the tuberculosis that would kill him prematurely. But Frédéric Chopin attained immortality with his Piano works which endure as pinnacles of the instrument's repertoire. This biography by one of the nineteenth century's foremost pianists--Chopin's friend and fellow artist Franz Liszt--offers a highly informed assessment of the Polish composer's musical legacy. It is further enlivened by the author's personal acquaintance with Chopin's other friends who constituted the very cream of Parisian intellectual and artistic society.Born a year apart Chopin andLiszt came of age in an era favorable to musical change when audiences as well as performers were receptive to Romanticism's innovations. Liszt surveys the technical brilliance as well as the poetry of Chopin's masterpieces including the 'Adagio' from Piano Concerto No. 2 and Polonaise in F-sharp Minor. He also chronicles Chopin's progress from child prodigy to the darling of Parisian salons. A source of rare and unparalleled insights into Chopin's world of private anguish and public triumph this memoir recounts the composer's loneliness as a Polish emigré his tempestuous romance with George Sand and his life among a glittering social set that included Balzac Hugo Berlioz Delacroix and Schumann.Reprint of the Oliver Ditson Company Boston 1880 edition.
