Inhaltsangabe
An English translation of a controversial German work critically assessing Pavarotti's singing career, his stardom, the myth of the tenor, and the commercialization of art. Kesting analyzes the singer's early training, debuts, recordings, and concerts demonstrating how Pavarotti defines the idolization of the tenor a tradition that originated with Enrico Caruso. Though the discussion centers on opera, the author raises serious questions regarding the price of such fame and its consequences on art. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Críticas
"Kesting, a German cultural journalist, is fantastically knowledgeable about niceties of performance, and traces his hero's (or villain's) rise, through ever more limited displays of his real abilities, to his present meaningless eminence." --Publishers Weekly
Reseña del editor
Kesting . . . offers many acute observations on the ways in which performance standards have coarsened, particularly in the past 50 years . . . for a serious opera lover, it offers much to think about. -- Publishers Weekly
