Шостакович - К.Мейер - 1998

Книга польского композитора и музыковеда Кшиштофа Мейера - одна из примечательных новейших монографий о Шостаковиче. В 27 главах подробнейшим образом излагаются события, факты биографии, документы и свидетельства о Шостаковиче, его жизни и творчестве, присутствуют музыковедческие разборы практически всех сочинений. Автор счастливо избегает двух крайностей, к которым склонялись и склоняются многие пишущие о Шостаковиче - канонизации в советском помпезно-слащавом духе и, наоборот - делания из композитора жертвы режима и диссидента. 1998г.,

The Complete Leopold Godowsky - Marston - 7CD - 2008

Leopold Godowsky (1870-1938), known to pianophiles as "The Buddha of the Keyboard" and "The Apostle of the Left Hand", was one of the great geniuses in pianistic history, earning the highest esteem as both performer and composer. Virtually self-taught, he concertized all over the world until felled by a stroke at a London recording session in 1930. Godowsky was praised for his effortless technique and the remarkable tonal subtlety of his playing. Godowsky’s recorded legacy extends from 1913 to 1930 and includes discs made for both American and British Columbia as well as for Brunswick. Until now there has been no systematic, comprehensive reissue of his recordings. Marston is proud to announce a Complete Godowsky series in three volumes of two discs each, arranged chronologically by recording date and utilizing the best available original copies. Many items, including test pressings, will appear on CD for the first time.

Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician - C.Wolff - 2001

Although we are acquainted with the music of J. S. Bach through countless performances and recordings, the composer himself continues to come across as the somewhat enigmatic figure depicted in a single, familiar portrait. Published in 2000 to mark the 250th anniversary of Bach's death, author and leading Bach scholar Christoph Wolff presents a new picture that brings to life this towering figure of the Baroque era.
Wolff demonstrates the intimate connection between the composer's life and his music, showing how Bach's superb inventiveness pervaded his career as a musician, composer, performer, scholar, and teacher. And throughout, we see Bach in the broader context of his time: its institutions, traditions, and influences. With this highly readable book, Wolff sets a new standard in Bach biography.
