Acclaimed for treading new ground in operatic studies of the
period, Simon Morrison's influential and now-classic text explores
music and the occult during the Russian Symbolist movement.
Including previously unavailable archival materials about Prokofiev
and Tchaikovsky, this wholly revised edition is both up to date and
revelatory. Topics range from decadence to pantheism, musical
devilry to narcotic-infused evocations of heaven, the influence of
Wagner, and the significance of contemporaneous Russian literature.
Symbolism tested boundaries and reached for extremes so as to
imagine art uniting people, facilitating communion with nature, and
ultimately transcending reality. Within this framework, Morrison
examines four lesser-known works by canonical composers-Pyotr
Tchaikovsky, Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, Alexander Scriabin, and
Sergey Prokofiev-and in this new edition also considers Alexandre
Gretchaninoff's Sister Beatrice and Alexander Kastalsky's Klara
Milich, while also making the case for reviving Vladimir Rebikov's
The Christmas Tree.
