Synopsis
A revealing look at French composer and virtuoso Camille Saint-Sa ns Camille Saint-Sa ns--perhaps the foremost French musical figure of the late nineteenth century and a composer who wrote in nearly every musical genre, from opera and the symphony to film music--is now being rediscovered after a century of modernism overshadowed his earlier importance. In a wide-ranging and trenchant series of essays, articles, and documents, Camille Saint-Sa ns and His World deconstructs the multiple realities behind the man and his music. Topics range from intimate glimpses of the private and playful Saint-Sa ns, to the composer's interest in astronomy and republican politics, his performances of Mozart and Rameau over eight decades, and his extensive travels around the world. This collection also analyzes the role he played in various musical societies and his complicated relationship with such composers as Liszt, Massenet, Wagner, and Ravel. Featuring the best contemporary scholarship on this crucial, formative period in French music, Camille Saint-Sa ns and His World restores the composer to his vital role as innovator and curator of Western music. The contributors are Byron Adams, Leon Botstein, Jean-Christophe Branger, Michel Duchesneau, Katharine Ellis, Annegret Fauser, Yves G rard, Dana Gooley, Carolyn Guzski, Carol Hess, D. Kern Holoman, L o Houziaux, Florence Launay, St phane Leteur , Martin Marks, Mitchell Morris, Jann Pasler, William Peterson, Michael Puri, Sabina Teller Ratner, Laure Schnapper, Marie-Gabrielle Soret, Michael Stegemann, and Michael Strasser., A revealing look at French composer and virtuoso Camille Saint-Saëns Camille Saint-Saëns--perhaps the foremost French musical figure of the late nineteenth century and a composer who wrote in nearly every musical genre, from opera and the symphony to film music--is now being rediscovered after a century of modernism overshadowed his earlier importance.

- 8***2 (13)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat experience doing business with this seller. The item’s picture was slightly misleading as it looked like you were receiving a larger mug, but that was just the angle the photo was taken. The item’s description was correct. Shipping cost was high; 11.60 to ship an 8oz coffee mug ground (took 6 days). Packaging was awesome, I mean, there is absolutely no way my item was going to break in transit All in all, I would not hesitate to work with this seller again.

- e***e (226)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item was very well packaged against damage. Shipping was quick and reasonably priced. The planner is in mint condition apart from some light rust on the rings that I failed to see in the pictures. HOWEVER, they accepted my discounted offer, which is more than adequate compensation, AND the rust should easily come off with a light fine steel wool brushing. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE SELLER!... and would easily buy from them again.Day-Timer Planner 7-Ring Brown Faux Leather Zipper 11”x 13” 4 Pockets & 16 Cards (#296376957753)
