Song and Self: A Singer's Reflections on Music and Performance by Dr Ian Bostrid

Description: Song and Self by Dr Ian Bostridge Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An exceptionally thought-provoking look at music and identity from one of the worlds leading singers. Publisher Description Accustomed to being centre stage, international award-winning singer Ian Bostridge, like so many performers, spent much of 2020 and 2021 unable to take part in live music. It led him to question an identity previously defined by communicating directly with audiences.This enforced silence allowed Bostridge the opportunity to explore the backstories of some of the many works that he has performed - works such as Claudio Monteverdis seventeenth-century masterpiece Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda and Schumanns ever popular song cycle Frauenliebe und Leben. The complex world of a single song by Ravel from the Chansons madecasses has always haunted and unnerved Bostridge, while his immersion in Benjamin Brittens confrontations with death, in life and art, have given him much food for thought.Based on his Berlin Family Lectures, delivered at the University of Chicago in the Spring of 2020, Bostridge guides us on a fascinating journey beneath the surface of these iconic works. His underlying questions as a performer drive the narrative: what does it mean for audiences when a singer inhabits these roles? And what does a performers own identity subtract from or add to the identities inherent in the works themselves? Author Biography Ian Bostridge is universally recognised as one of the greatest Lieder interpreters of today. He has made numerous award-winning recordings of opera and song, and gives recitals regularly throughout Europe, North America and the Far East to outstanding critical acclaim. His books include A Singers Notebook (Faber, 2011) and the award winning Schuberts Winter Journey (Faber, 2016). He was Humanitas Professor of Music at Oxford 2014/15 and has been a regular contributor to newspapers and journals in the UK and US including the Financial Times and the New York Review of Books.
