Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Bernard Williams, who died in 2003, was one of the most influential moral philosophers of his generation. A lifelong opera lover, his articles and essays, talks for the BBC, contributions to the Grove Dictionary of Opera, and program notes for the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and the English National Opera, generated a devoted following. This elegant volume brings together these widely scattered and largely unobtainable pieces, including two that have not been previously published. It covers an engaging range of topics from Mozart to Wagner, including sparkling essays on specific operas by those composers as well as Verdi, Puccini, Strauss, Debussy, Janacek, and Tippett. Reflecting Williams's brilliance, passion, and clarity of mind, these essays engage with, and illustrate, the enduring appeal of opera as an art form.

Couverture à rabats, très bon état . Philosophe parmi les plus influents de sa génération dans les pays anglo-saxons, Bernard Williams fut aussi un mélomane passionné, auteur d'articles, d'essais et de conférences qui, pour n'être pas de son champ de spécialisation, ne s'en distinguent pas moins par la justesse de leur approche et l'acuité de leurs aperçus. Il s'y attache autant à décrire les conditions historiques des ?uvres qu'à apprécier leur portée philosophique et leur organisation thématique. Articulés autour d'un ensemble de réflexions sur les opéras de Mozart et de Wagner, ces essais s'intéressent aussi aux ?uvres de Verdi et Puccini, à Richard Strauss, Debussy, Janacek et Michael Tippett. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Bernard Williams was one of the most influential moral philosophers of his generation. A life-long opera-lover, his articles and essays, talks for the BBC, contributions to the Grove Dictionary of Opera, and programme-notes for The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and the English National Opera, generated a devoted following. This elegant volume brings together these widely scattered and largely unobtainable pieces, including two that have not been previously published. It covers an engaging range of topics from Mozart to Wagner, including sparkling essays on specific operas by those composers as well as Verdi, Puccini, Strauss, Debussy, Janacek and Tippett. Two aspects of music are of central importance to Williams: the demands of composing, performing and staging opera on the one hand, and the immediacy and power of its emotional purchase, the ability of music to move both the heart and the intellect, on the other. Reflecting Williams's brilliance, passion, and clarity of mind, these essays engage with, and illustrate, the enduring appeal of opera as an art form. Bernard Williams was Knightsbridge Professor of Philosophy, Cambridge University, Monroe Deutsch Professor of Philosophy, University of California, Berkeley, and White's Professor of Moral Philosophy, Oxford University. He was a member of the board of the English National Opera in London, and author of many articles on music.…
