ISBN-13: 978-1-58046-182-5, ISBN: 1-58046-182-4

"Still in the shrink-wrapping. "Hector Berlioz's Les Grotesques de la musique is the only one of his books that has never been translated into English in its entirety. It is by far the funniest of all his works, and consists of a number of short anecdotes, witticisms, open letters, and comments on the absurdities of concert life. Alastair Bruce's fluid translation brings to life this important composer and bon vivant. He does a wonderful ..."

One of the most frequently performed operas for over a century, Carmen explores concepts such as the femme fatale and murderous jealousy with vivacity, color, and a wealth of melody.

Music in 1853(1st Edition)
The Biography of a Year
by Hugh Macdonald
Hardcover, 214 Pages, Published 2012 by Boydell Press
ISBN-13: 978-1-84383-718-3, ISBN: 1-84383-718-8

"Why 1853? For many leading composers this year brought far-reaching changes to their lives: Brahms emerged from obscurity to celebrity, Schumann ceased to be an active composer, and both Berlioz and Wagner became active again after long silences. By limiting the perspective to a single year yet extending it to a group of musicians, their constant interconnections become the central motif: Brahms meets Berlioz and Liszt as well as Schuma ..."
