In this book - the only full-length study of the composer - the
author provides a richly documented account of Bruch's career as
music director and composer. Max Bruch (1838-1920), the German
composer best known for his Violin Concerto in G minor, was in his
day, a famous conductor and teacher as well as a prolific composer;
yet he has been sadly neglected, perhaps in comparison to
hiscontemporary Brahms. In this book - the only full-length study
of Bruch - the author provides a richly documented account of
Bruch's career as music director and composer, including a spell
with the Liverpool Philharmonic Societyfrom 1880-1883, and as a
teacher at the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin from 1892 until his
retirement in 1911, where Vaughan Williams was one his pupils; he
paints a picture of a proud and sensitive man, whose talents were
perhaps left behind at a time of rapid musical development. The
book also offers a musical analysis of his one hundred published
works, including three operas. CHRISTOPHER FIFIELD is foremost a
conductor, but also a writeron music history (Grove, DNB, Viking
Opera Guide, Oxford Companion to Music), the author of a biography
of Hans Richter, the editor of the letters and diaries of Kathleen
Ferrier, and a recent history of the music agents Ibbs and Tillett.
