Author: JONATHAN KEATES Title: Purcell
Description: Pimlico, 1996. Pp: 304. Henry Purcell (1659-95) is, without doubt, England's greatest composer. He died young at the age of 36, but he was astonishingly prolific, leaving behind harpsichord pieces and sonatas of great beauty, as well as numerous songs, anthems, operas and magnificent choral masterpieces such as DIDO AND AENEAS, TE DEUM and JUBILATE. In this scholarly and wonderfully readable biography - by the author of an acclaimed life of Handel - Jonathan Keates brings Restoration London vividly to life - its thriving social scene, theatres, concert halls and exuberant court of Charles II. He paints a compelling and utterly convincing portrait of a great artist. ISBN: 9780712674195. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
