"Il Trovatore, La Traviata, Aida, Otello, Falstaff--such are the operas which mark Giuseppe Verdi as one of the most successful of all operatic composers. He knew personal tragedy and frustration in the course of his long life (1813-1901), some of his early operas failed, and in his later years he found his reputation overshadowed by that of Wagner, yet few musicians have been so universally acclaimed and rewarded as Verdi. Today his talents are taken far more seriously by critics than they were fifty years ago, and his operas are immensely popular. The remarkable development of his small-town organist and choirmaster, who at nearly sixty produced the imposing and ever popular Aïda, at seventy-four the intensely dramatic Otello and at eighty the comic miracle of Falstaff, is now recognized. But Verdi was more than a great musician. He was a singularly lovable and human person, a formidable businessman, an ardent patriot. He knew and corresponded with all the great men of his day--musicians, artists and statesmen. Princes and peasants were his friends. Life on his farm at Sant'Agata was as dear to him as the applause at the world premiere of one of his operas. Carlo Gatti, who has spent a lifetime in the study of the maestro, has told his story in masterly fashion. His biography gives not only a full account of Verdi's activities as composer, but also describes his intimate life and the background of the stirring times in which he lived. It is a full, carefully detailed, heartwarming portrait, an inspiring study of a well-spent life. For many years one of Italy's leading music critics, Carlo Gatti is the author of several other musical biographies, including a life of Catalani. His 'Verdi' may be considered the standard biography. Originally published in 1939 and acclaimed throughout the music world, an English version is overdue. The present translation has been done by Elisabeth Abbott." --Dust jacket.

Giuseppe Verdi remains the greatest operatic composer that Italy, the home of opera, has ever produced. Yet throughout his lifetime he claimed to detest composing and repeatedly rejected it. He was a landowner, a farmer, a politician and symbol of Italian independence; but his music tells a different story.An obsessive perfectionist, Verdi drove collaborators to despair but his works lauded from the start as dazzling feats of composition and characterization. From Rigoletto to Otello, La Traviatato to Aida, Verdi’s canon encompassed the full range of human emotion. His private life was no less complex: he suffered great loss, and went out of his way to antagonize supporters and his own family. An outspoken advocate of Italian independence and a sharp critic of the church, he was often at odds with nineteenth-century society.In Verdi: The Man Revealed, John Suchet attempts to get under the skin of perhaps the most private composer who ever lived.

An exploration of the lives and works of Verdi and Wagner as well as their respective legacies to the present day, written by a noted cultural critic. This is the first book to compare these two composers and cultural heroes, both of whom were born in 1813 and achieved huge national and inter- national renown in their lifetimes. Yet not only did they never meet, but the differences between them—in music, culture, environment, significance, and legacy—were profound. Peter Conrad begins his tale in a public park in Venice, home to a pair of statues of the composers that are positioned so as to appear to shun each other. This provides a fitting starting point for his argument that they represent two opposite yet equally integral and compelling dimensions of European culture: north versus south, cerebral versus sensual, proud solitude versus human connection, epic mythmaking versus humane magnanimity. The book is a richly argued tour de force that engages passionately and profoundly with music, biography, history, politics, philosophy, psychology, and culture in the broadest sense. As Conrad concludes, “At one time or another, if not simultaneously, we still need the two contradictory, complementary kinds of music that Verdi and Wagner left us.”
