Giuseppe Verdi - Genie der Oper

Giuseppe Verdis Leben (1813-1901) reichte von den Tagen, da noch Napoleon Europa beherrschte, bis in die Anfangszeit der Schallplattenaufnahmen. Er gehörte zu jenen großen Komponisten, die in ihren Werken fundamentalen menschlichen Emotionen lebendigen Ausdruck verliehen.Verdi, dessen 200. Geburtstag die Musikwelt am 9. bzw. 10. Oktober 2013 begehen wird, war selbst keineswegs so geradeheraus, wie es die Musik und die Charaktere seiner Protagonisten suggerieren mögen. Weder war er der ungebildete Bauer von Sant' Agata, als der er sich gern selbst stilisierte, noch war er der konservative Nationalist, als der er in seinen späten Jahren wahrgenommen wurde. In seiner meisterhaften Biographie zeichnet John Rosselli packend und realistisch Leben und Werk dieses kühnen und innovativen Künstlers nach. Er beschreibt ebenso die Professionalität Verdis beim Betrieb seiner Landwirtschaft wie auch dessen außergewöhnlich erfolgreiche Karriere als Komponist. Und er erhellt die komplexen Beziehungen, die Verdi mit zwei großartigen Sängerinnen unterhielt - mit seiner zweiten Frau, Giuseppina Strepponi, und seiner (vermutlichen) Geliebten Teresa Stolz. Dies alles wird lebendig beschrieben, während gleichzeitig die Musik Verdis, seine unsterblichen Opernkompositionen und seine Bühnenerfolge mit größter Kompetenz und Klarheit dargestellt werden. So wird deutlich, weshalb Verdis Werke bis auf den heutigen Tag weltweit die Opernhäuser füllen und Begeisterungsstürme der Besucher auslösen.

Set against the rich backdrop of World War II Italy, Garden of Letters captures the hope, suspense, and romance of an uncertain era, in an epic intertwining story of first love, great tragedy, and spectacular bravery. Portofino, Italy, 1943. A young woman steps off a boat in a scenic coastal village. Although she knows how to disappear in a crowd, Elodie is too terrified to slip by the German officers while carrying her poorly forged identity papers. She is frozen until a man she's never met before claims to know her. In desperate need of shelter, Elodie follows him back to his home on the cliffs of Portofino. Only months before, Elodie Bertolotti was a cello prodigy in Verona, unconcerned with world events. But when Mussolini's Fascist regime strikes her family, Elodie is drawn into the burgeoning resistance movement by Luca, a young and impassioned bookseller. As the occupation looms, she discovers that her unique musical talents, and her courage, have the power to save lives. In Portofino, young doctor Angelo Rosselli gives the frightened and exhausted girl sanctuary. He is a man with painful secrets of his own, haunted by guilt and remorse. But Elodie's arrival has the power to awaken a sense of hope and joy that Angelo thought was lost to him forever. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Sastre, Alyson Richman.

A Bold and Dangerous Family: The Remarkable Story of an Italian Mother, Her Two Sons, and Their Fight Against Fascism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 870min

The acclaimed author of A Train in Winter and Village of Secrets delivers the next chapter in The Resistance Quartet: the astonishing story of the aristocratic Italian family who stood up to Mussolini's fascism and whose efforts helped define the path of Italy in the years between the world wars - a profile in courage that remains relevant today. Members of the cosmopolitan, cultural aristocracy of Florence at the beginning of the 20th century, the Rosselli family, led by their fierce matriarch, Amelia, were vocal antifascists. As populist right-wing nationalism swept across Europe after World War I and Italy's prime minister, Benito Mussolini, began consolidating his power, Amelia's sons, Carlo and Nello, led the opposition, taking a public stand against Il Duce that few others in their elite class dared risk. When Mussolini established a terrifying and brutal police state controlled by his Blackshirts - the squaddristi - the Rossellis and their antifascist circle were transformed into active resisters. In retaliation, many of the antifascists were arrested and imprisoned; others left the country to escape a similar fate. Tragically, Carlo and Nello were eventually assassinated by Mussolini's secret service. After Italy entered World War II in June 1940, Amelia, thanks to visas arranged by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt herself, fled to New York City with the remaining members of her family. Renowned historian Caroline Moorehead paints an indelible picture of Italy in the first half of the 20th century, offering an intimate account of the rise of Il Duce and his squaddristi; life in Mussolini's penal colonies; the shocking ambivalence and complicity of many prominent Italian families seduced by Mussolini's promises; and the bold, fractured resistance movement whose associates sacrificed their lives to fight fascism. In A Bold and Dangerous Family, Moorehead once again pays tribute to heroes who fought to u ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Lee.
