An adaptation of Jacques Offenbach's opera by Emeric Pressburger
and Michael Powell. The story follows the poet Hoffman (Robert
Rounseville) as he attends a performance of the ballerina Stella
(Moira Shearer) and proceeds to tell tales of his love for three
women: the doll Olympia (Shearer), the courtesan Giuletta (Ludmilla
Tcherina) and the frail singer Antonia (Ann Ayars). But as the
elder Hoffman recounts the tales from a tavern, his quest for the
eternal woman is always thwarted by evil.
The A Z of String Players surveys the lives, careers and recordings
of over 300 string players from the past and present. Many great
string players who have made recordings are included, from Accardo
to Zukerman. The text covers artists from the earliest recording
processes to contemporary, cutting-edge technology. In this clear
and straight-forward publication, the artists are listed
alphabetically, with a summary of their career, notable recordings,
biography and critical appraisal of their recorded legacy. In
addition, four compact discs present a selection of recordings from
69 artists. This package will appeal to enthusiast and scholar
alike as a readable, informed and fascinating work of reference.
This is a new release of the original 1943 edition.
