Puccini (+ 4 Cd)

Descripción

The 150th anniversary of Puccini's birth in December 2008 provides a very good reason to dedicate a release in the series A Biographical Kaleidoscope to one of opera's most famous composers. This book is another firstclass portrait of a composer by author Detmar Huchting. Music CDs: Four CDs combine the highlights of Puccini's musical works with, among others, complete recordings or excerpts from operas such as Tosca, Turandot, and Gianni Schicchi.

About the Author
Detmar Huchting was born in 1954 in Hamburg, Germany and grew up there and in Bremen. A musicloving family home laid the foundation; the boys' choir of the Church of Our Lady in Bremen strengthened it and built a love of early music with works from Schutz to Bach. A classical education led on to a broadbased study of the humanities, ranging from theology to Nordic languages, literature, and musicology. He has worked with and for record labels since 1978; today, the music critic, journalist, and author lives in Frankfurt am Main.
