Elegy & Scherzo was premiered on October 27, 2023, in the Cankarjev Dom in Ljubljana, Slovenia by the Band of the Slovenian Armed Forces, with Yuki Ito as the cello soloist and the composer conducting.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. (Amstel Music). The Year 1941 was composed during the second World War. Prokofiev, along with other composers, was evacuated to the Caucasus when Germany started attacking the Soviet Union in 1941. It was under such circumstances that Prokofiev began work on this symphonic suite. He was working on his epic opera War and Peace and the String Quartet No. 2 at the same time. It is an orchestral suite in three movements, a poignant and evocative musical depiction of a tumultuous period in history. The composer described these three movements as follows: I. In Battle - "a scene of heated battle, heard by the audience sometimes as though far away and sometimes as though on the actual battlefield." II. At Night - "a poetic night scene, disturbed by the tension of impending conflict." III. For the Brotherhood of Man - "a triumphant lyrical hymn to victory and the brotherhood of peoples."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. (Amstel Music). 1. Barcelona 1945 2. Los Libros Olvidados El Cementerio 3. Las Ramblas - Els Quatre Gats 4. Coubert - El Hombre sin Rostro 5. Bea (Beatriz) 6. El Inspector Fumero 7. La Ciudad de las Sombras This is a story wrapped within a story that unfolds in Barcelona 1945, following World War II. The protagonist, Daniel Sempere, is the teenage son of an antiquarian book dealer, who one day takes him to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a mysterious place with labyrinthine corridors where rare and banned books are stacked in massive dusty piles. His father tells Daniel to select a book, but it will be his responsibility to protect it. Daniel picks La Sombra del Viento (The Shadow of the Wind), a novel by a forgotten author Julian Carax. Daniel immediately starts reading the book, and the story unwinds itself into a compelling and complicated plot. As he reads, Daniel finds himself and his own life merging into the story's plot. It transpires that there is a mysterious man named Lain Coubert ("the man without a face") who is determined to destroy all copies of Carax's books. Daniel is threatened by Coubert and is determined to find out what happened to Carax, who fled to Paris and subsequently disappeared. Daniel finds that his own life has much in common with the author's. The book mixes magic realism, page-turning mystery, and Daniel's own real life. Daniel's once ordinary teenage existence is now filled with larger-than-life colorful and at times, terrifying characters. Among them are Fermin Romero de Torres, a beggar who Daniel and his father befriend and employ in the family bookstore; the evil police inspector Javier Fumero, who could be compared to Scarpia in Puccini's opera Tosca or Javert in Les Miserables. The corrupt Fumero uses the war as an excuse to practice his sadism and is widely feared in Barcelona. He is represented in the music by a fascist military march. The city of Barcelona becomes a character in the book and in the music. The Ramblas, the boulevard running through Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and the famous cafe Els Quatre Gats (the four cats) come alive in the score through a Cobla, the traditional wind ensemble playing a sardana, typical Catalan folk music.

Rotterdam, Nai010, [2014]. 272 pp. Col. & b./w. ills. Orig. hardcover (pictorial boards). 4to.Comprehensive overview of the life and work of the Dutch architect Joan Melchior van der Meij (1878-1949). - Text in Dutch. - - Joan Melchior van der Meij (1878-1949) is known as one of the founders of the Amsterdam School. As the winner of the Prix de Rome (1906) and the Damprijsvraag (1908), he was regarded in his time as a promising, up-and-coming talent. Early in his career, he received the commission for what would become his most famous creation: Het Scheepvaarthuis (1911), a luxury office building for six shipping companies. In that same year, he joined the Public Works Department in Amsterdam as an aesthetic advisor. Here, Van der Meij realized a large number of bridges, utilitarian buildings, and urban planning schemes, making grateful use of the new building materials and techniques (such as photography) that the modern era offered him. During this turbulent period, full of political and economic crises, Amsterdam grew from a provincial town into a modern city. Van der Meij contributed to this with his designs for many housing complexes in the twentieth-century expansion districts. Architectural historian Michiel Kruidenier and designer Paul Smeets examine Van der Meij's role within the Amsterdam School and Dutch architectural history using countless previously unpublished drawings, letters, and photographs. The book describes Van der Meij's turbulent life, full of fame and success, misfortune and financial troubles, and also contains a complete overview of his work.…
