More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book is the standard life and works of an important Italian composer of the baroque era. The author, Michael Talbot I is eminently respected in his field. catalogue entries. Tomaso Albinoni (1671-1751) was a leading figure in the generation of Italian composers that included Vivaldi and Domenico Scarlatti. While his concertos and sonatas are quite often performed and discussed today, his vocal music has been unjustly neglected. In his study of the composer, Michael Talbot looks in detail at Albinoni's output, and, placing the composer in his historical context, argues for a general reappraisal of his achievement. He provides a detailed review of Albinoni's works according to chronology and genre and includes a discussion of some recently discovered works. Alongside this review is a penetrating analysis of Albinoni's musical style in general, resulting from many years of familiarity with the music. While the main emphasis is on the discussion of his music Michael Talbot also presents new information about Albinoni's unusual life and much interesting detail on his Venetian background, showing how this very distinctive social and cultural environment left its mark on the composer. With a complete catalogue of his works and guide to modern editions, this book presents a comprehensive reassessment of Albinoni, from which he emerges as a composer with a highly original vision whose music deserves to be better known.
