The Complete Operas of Mozart Osborne Charles
The major operas of Mozart--Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro, The Magic Flute, Cosifan Tutte--are well known to music listeners everywhere, having secured a permanent place in the repertoire of companies throughout the world. Charles Osborne here provides detailed descriptions of all of these and fourteen others in a volume that serves both a first-rate biography and an exhaustive critical guide to the Mozart oeuvre. But how much do you know about La Clemenza di Tito, Idomeneo, L'Oca del Cairo, Zaide?
His fourfold approach--linking biography with musical, textual, and dramatic analysis--is uniquely satisfying for those seeking an integrated understanding of opera's many dimensions. Charles Osborne is obviously in command of the literature: He quotes copiously from the mountain of letters, contemporary journals, and the most recent scholarship dealing with the period.
