The Life of Berlioz - Musical Lives (Hardcover, New)

Berlioz was arguably the greatest French composer of the nineteenth
century. Although the author of the Symphonie fantastique was
possessed of a fertile imagination and sometimes obsessed by love,
the image of Berlioz as a misunderstood and mistreated genius
obscures both the solidity of his work as a musical architect and
the reality of his position as one sometimes favored by those in
power. This Life of Berlioz situates the celebrated French musician
in the vibrant and highly politicized musical culture in which he
lived and worked as composer, conductor, concert manager, and
writer. Bloom's biography--based on special familiarity with
archival sources and the composer's only recently made available
writings--projects a noncaricatural and enormously talented Berlioz
occupied with the practical details of polishing scores and
articles, arranging concerts and tours, making connections with
those in power, and making an independent career in the age of
incipient free enterprise.
