Verdi's long life spanned Napoleonic rule and the age of
broadcasting. He was the last great composer to give direct voice
to basic human emotions yet he was not always as straightforward as
the directness of his work suggests: he was neither the uneducated
peasant he claimed to be nor the conservative nationalist he seemed
to become in his later years. In this biography, John Rosselli
traces the life and work of a boldly innovative artist. He
investigates Verdi's businesslike running of a landed estate as
well as a highly successful career, and looks into his complex
relationships - still not quite clear - with two women singers: his
second wife Giuseppina Strepponi and his probable lover Teresa
Stolz. At the same time he considers the music with clarity and
insight, dwelling on the most important operas and showing us why
they still fill theatres and rouse enthusiasm today.
