| gaetano donizetti biography: Donizetti and the World of Opera in Italy, Paris and Vienna in the First Half of the Nineteenth Century Herbert Weinstock, 1963 This book is the first full-length biography in English of the composer of Don Pasquale and Lucia di Lammermoor. It is based on first-hand research in archives and libraries at the scenes of Donizetti's widespread activities. Operatically speaking, Gaetano Donizetti shared the first half of the Italian nineteenth century with Rossini and Bellini. Long active throughout Italy, he later turned his talents to the benefit of audiences in Pairs and Vienna. Attractive, humorous and enormously energetic, he won the affectionate regard of his colleagues and the intense devotion of numerous women, including his beautiful, but unfortunate wife. The story of Donizetti's life is worth telling for the illumination it sheds on operatic history and on the whole world of opera. He bridged the interval between the classical opera, with its rigid division into opera seria and opera buffa, and the romantic, dramatic operas of Verdi's middle period. His personal story of success that turned into final tragedy is an enthralling human document in itself. The reader meets the great, the well-remembered and the fascinatingly obscure in music, literature, politics and society. Among a total of nearly seventy operas which Donizetti composed, Lucia di Lammermoor, Don Pasquale and L'Elisir d'Amore have remained in the active repertoires of opera houses everywhere. His works were composed for a dazzling constellation of singers, including Grisi, Malibran, Pasta, Lablache, Mario, Ronconi and Rubini. Born into a poor artisan family in Bergamo, he ended his days laden with decorations and honors, a member of the legion d'honneur and the Academie des Beaux-Arts and an Aulic Councillor to the Emperor of Austria. Appendices include a complete annotated list of Donizetti's operas (with brief histories of their performances) and of his non-operatic compositions. They also offer a mass of other information, including a side glance at Giuseppe Donizetti, the composer's brother, who became musical director of Sultans and died at a pasha at Constantinople. |

| gaetano donizetti biography: Biography and History in Film Thomas S. Freeman, David L. Smith, 2019-10-14 The essays in this volume seek to analyze biographical films as representations of historical individuals and the times in which they lived. To do this, contributors examine the context in which certain biographical films were made, including the state of knowledge about their subjects at that moment, and what these films reveal about the values and purposes of those who created them. This is an original approach to biographical (as opposed to historical) films and one that has so far played little part in the growing literature on historical films. The films discussed here date from the 1920s to the 2010s, and deal with males and females in periods ranging from the Middle Ages to the end of the twentieth century. In the process, the book discusses how biographical films reflect changing attitudes towards issues such as race, gender and sexuality, and examines the influence of these films on popular perceptions of the past. The introduction analyses the nature of biographical films as a genre: it compares and contrasts the nature of biography on film with written biographies, and considers their relationship with the discipline of history. As the first collection of essays on this popular but understudied genre, this book will be of interest to historians as well as those in film and cultural studies. |

| gaetano donizetti biography: Ernst von Dohnányi Ilona Von Dohnanyi, James A. Grymes, 2002-07-12 ... a rare kind of biography and autobiography: a clear and elegant exposition of fact, as well as a humane portrait of a great piano virtuoso, composer, teacher, and democratic soul, as told to and seen through the eyes of one close to him. -- Mark Mitchell Ernst von Dohnányi (1877--1960) was one of the most highly respected musicians of his time. The young Dohnányi enjoyed an international prestige that brought him into contact with such 19th-century masters as Johannes Brahms and Eugà ̈ne d'Albert. He is remembered for his technique and interpretive skills as a pianist and conductor, as well as for the masterpieces he composed for piano, chamber ensembles, and orchestra. As a teacher and administrator, Dohnányi was responsible for the training of an entire generation of musicians in Hungary, and for helping to shape the country's musical culture. After World War II, his career foundered when he was falsely accused of being a Nazi sympathizer. In 1953, at the age of 76, Dohnányi returned to international prominence with a triumphant re-debut at Carnegie Hall. Ernst von Dohnányi: A Song of Life, written from a firsthand perspective by Dohnányi's widow, is the first full English-language biography of the artist. |

Divided into four parts, it first covers the rise, consolidation, and crisis of European historical thought, and the professionalization and institutionalization of history. The chapters in Part II analyze how historical scholarship connected to various European national traditions. Part III considers the historical writing of Europe's 'Offspring': the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil, and Spanish South America. The concluding part is devoted to histories of non-European cultural traditions: China, Japan, India, South East Asia, Turkey, the Arab world, and Sub-Saharan Africa. This is the fourth of five volumes in a series that explores representations of the past from the beginning of writing to the present day, and from all over the world. This volume aims at once to provide an authoritative survey of the field, and especially to provoke cross-cultural comparisons. |

Grymes, Veronika Kusz, 2024-12-05 The Last Romantic in His Own Words presents the selected writings and interviews of Hungarian pianist, conductor, and composer Ernst von Dohnányi. These texts shed new light on Dohnányi's singular aesthetics, as well as on his career as a charismatic and at times controversial public figure who was one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century, particularly in Hungary. The book facilitates a much-needed reevaluation of a public figure and private individual caught up in the web of twentieth-century politics, resulting in a picture that is more complete than ever of one of the most elusive musicians of the twentieth century. |
