Over dit product
Product Information
Jan Swafford's biographies of Charles Ives and Johannes Brahms have established him as a revered music historian, capable of bringing his subjects vibrantly to life. His magnificent new biography of Ludwig van Beethoven peels away layers of legend to get to the living, breathing human being who composed some of the world's most iconic music. Swafford mines sources never before used in English-language biographies to reanimate the revolutionary ferment of Enlightenment-era Bonn, where Beethoven grew up and imbibed the ideas that would shape all of his future work. Swafford then tracks his subject to Vienna, capital of European music, where Beethoven built his career in the face of critical incomprehension, crippling ill health, romantic rejection, and "fate's hammer," his ever-encroaching deafness. Throughout, Swafford offers insightful readings of Beethoven's key works. More than a decade in the making, this will be the standard Beethoven biography for years to come.

Reviews
A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice A Christian Science Monitor Top 10 Book of the Month "Swafford's craftsmanship shines...The book is two books: a biography and a series of journeys through the music, a travelogue with an excitable professor. Readers will want to have a recording playing so they can match metaphors to sounds. I found myself engaged by his imagery, sometimes delighted and surprised." -Jeremy Denk, New York Times Book Review "Compelling...Despite the wealth of historical detail, this is no dry academic tome, but a biography full of colorful descriptions of the composer and his milieu...Comprehensive, detailed, and highly readable, this is an entertaining biography that should find favor with music lovers and history buffs." - Seattle Times "Swafford creates the perfect blend of a historical person and musical genius...Monumental...A truly remarkable biography."- Christian Science Monitor "Swafford's writing on Beethoven's music is perceptive and illuminating. But just as impressive is his sympathetic portrait of Beethoven the man. Swafford's book, which should be placed alongside the excellent biographies by Lewis Lockwood and Maynard Solomon, does not diminish any of the composer's flaws. Instead, it suggests that these flaws were inconsequential compared with the severity of the composer's anguish and the achievement of his music." - Washington Post "Magnificent...Some of the most enjoyable segments of his book are the spirited and knowledgeable readings of Beethoven's various compositions. These passages are so passionate that they virtually propel the reader across the room to the CD collection, to play the pieces being so smartly described...A stunning tour de force, a Beethoven biography to shine for a lifetime." - Open Letters Monthly "Monumental...Engaging and entertaining...Beethoven aficionados and lovers of classical music will want this book, as will readers interested in biography and the artistic milieu of late 18th- and early 19th-century Europe."- Library Journal , starred review "A thorough, affectionate, and unblinking account of the life of the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)...Due to the author's unsurpassed research and comprehension, we stand in the presence of a genius and see all his flawed magic."- Kirkus , starred review "In this brilliant, exhaustive story, biographer and music historian Swafford ( Johannes Brahms ) brings new life to Beethoven."- Publishers Weekly , starred review, "A thorough, affectionate and unblinking account of the life of the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)..Due to the author's unsurpassed research and comprehension, we stand in the presence of a genius and see all his flawed magic." --Kirkus, starred review "In this brilliant, exhaustive story, biographer and music historian Swafford (Johannes Brahms) brings new life to Beethoven." --Publishers Weekly, STARRED review, "A thorough, affectionate and unblinking account of the life of the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)..Due to the author's unsurpassed research and comprehension, we stand in the presence of a genius and see all his flawed magic." --Kirkus, starred review, "Swafford's craftsmanship shines...The book is two books: a biography and a series of journeys through the music, a travelogue with an excitable professor.

Instead, it suggests that these flaws were inconsequential compared with the severity of the composer's anguish and the achievement of his music." - Washington Post "Swafford has a knack for bringing in the reader wholly unschooled in the technical vernacular of classical music. That skill is in evidence in this blend of biography and musical assessment. Even if you don't know the difference between a leitmotif and a lighthouse, don't sweat it, for this is, more than anything, a saga of a man at odds with so many things: convention, social mores, himself, women, his family ... If this isn't exactly the Beethoven that Schroeder of 'Peanuts' fame worshiped, it's a more believable characterization, and, more than that, one gets a better sense of how this roiling personality produced works to roil the human soul."- Boston Globe "Magnificent...Some of the most enjoyable segments of his book are the spirited and knowledgeable readings of Beethoven's various compositions.
