Paperback. Zustand: Good. 416 pages. Some pages dog-eared Selected by New York Times Book Review as a Best Book Since 2000? With its abundant portfolios of documents and sensitively chosen illustrations, this is the kind of book that has us crying, ?Oh, that we were there!??? Jonathan Keates, New York Times Book ReviewThis lively book takes us b ack to the first performances of five famous musical compositions: Monteverdi? s Orfeo in 1607, Handel?s Messiah in 1742, Beethoven?s Ninth Symphony in 182 4, Berlioz?s Symphonie fantastique in 1830, and Stravinsky?s Sacre du printe mps in 1913. Thomas Forrest Kelly sets the scene for each of these premieres, de scribing the cities in which they took place, the concert halls, audiences, cond uctors, and musicians, the sound of the music when it was first performed (often with instruments now extinct), and the popular and critical responses. He explo res how performance styles and conditions have changed over the centuries and wh at music can reveal about the societies that produce it.Kelly tells us , for example, that Handel recruited musicians he didn?t know to perform Messi ah in a newly built hall in Dublin; that Beethoven?s Ninth Symphony was perfor med with a mixture of professional and amateur musicians after only three rehear sals; and that Berlioz was still buying strings for the violas and mutes for the violins on the day his symphony was first played. Kelly?s narrative, which is enhanced by extracts from contemporary letters, press reports, account books, a nd other sources, as well as by a rich selection of illustrations, gives us a fr esh appreciation of these five masterworks, encouraging us to sort out our own l ate twentieth-century expectations from what is inherent in the music.…
