Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The cultural historian Anna Beers rewarding new book about the forgotten women of classical music includes insightful portraits of eight composers, a couple of whom are truly forgotten, like the 17thcentury Italian Francesca Caccini. But penetrating essays on betterknown figures, like Clara Schumann, are even more interesting for the way Ms. Beer conveys the sexism and lifelong frustrations some immensely gifted creative artists encountered. Anthony Tommasini, The New York TimesAs Heard on NPR's Weekend EditionAbsorbing ... [Beer] writes with rich detail and sympathetic insight about [these women's] ambitious, adventurous battles to overcome barriers to creativity.' Publishers Weekly'Savvy, sympathetic ... essential and insightful study of a womans unsung place in the closed world of classical music.'The Wall Street JournalSOUNDS AND SWEET AIRS reveals the hidden stories of eight remarkable composers, taking the reader on a journey from seventeenthcentury Medici Florence to London in the Blitz.Exploring not just the lives and works of eight exceptional artists, historian Anna Beer also asks tough questions about the silencing of their legacy, which continues to this day. Why do we still not hear masterpieces such as Hensels piano work 'The Year,' Caccinis arias and Boulangers setting of Psalm 130?A longoverdue celebration of neglected virtuosos, SOUNDS AND SWEET AIRS presents a complex and inspirational picture of artistic endeavour and achievement that deserves to be part of our cultural heritage.The featured composers are Francesca Caccini, Barbara Strozzi, lisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Marianna Martines, Fanny Hensel (ne Mendelssohn), Clara Schumann, Lili Boulanger and Elizabeth Maconchy.
