Mozart's Operas: A Critical Study de Edward J. Dent
Marvellous. In an age when baroque and classical operas were curiosities (at best), Dent was one of the figures who foresaw their rise. Mozart, naturally, is a cut above any of his revived contemporaries but nevertheless he had to wait for his renaissance. Of course this book has been superseded and outweighed by a century's worth of commentary and research, but it's still a thorough and energising read.
I'm not a fan of opera but found this at a used bookstore and realized I needed to know more about the basics. This is a short history of opera, written in 1940 by a Cambridge professor of music and opera devotee. I expected it to be dry and didactic, but it is witty and deprecating. The author freely admits to many of the reasons that the average person might be repelled by opera: terrible acting, self-important singers, long recitatives in a foreign language, conductors who think they are the most important person in the theater, pompous critics, etc. But he makes a case for opera as a a medium to be enjoyed by the "common man" and insists, reasonably, that opera always be performed in the language of the audience.… (mais)
La riqueza del mundo de Mozart alcanza la plenitud en sus óperas. En ellas, las almas de los hombres se traducen en música, y nunca quizá compositor alguno ha logrado que las notas hablaran con tanta lucidez, con tanta penetración, de la psicología humana.
Edward J. Dent, el ilustre historiador de la música, especialista sin igual en la obra del músico que tanto amara, nos brinda en las luminosas páginas de este libro la mejor de las claves para penetrar aquel mundo.
