First published to wide acclaim in Sweden (1995) and in Germany (1997), the autobiography of opera legend Birgit Nilsson (1918-2005) is finally available in an English translation. From her humble roots in rural Sweden to her artistic triumphs in Stockholm, Bayreuth, Milan, and the Metropolitan Opera House, this candid and utterly charming memoir reveals the personality behind one of the great voices of the past century. Gracefully weaving together the private and professional, Nilsson chronicles her idyllic childhood in Vastra Karup, the early recognition of her unique natural abilities, and her first tentative steps into a wider artistic world. After achieving national acclaim in Verdi's Lady Macbeth, she went on to establish herself as the dominant Wagnerian soprano of her generation, appearing at the Bayreuth and Munich Festivals, and the Vienna and Bavarian State Opera Houses, creating, along the way, definitive performances of Sieglinde, Brnnhilde, and Isolde. The book details her rise to international stardom with behind-the-scenes recollections of her phenomenal triumph as Turandot at La Scala in 1958 and her headline-making Met premier in Tristan und Isolde the following year. Nilsson's long and illustrious career (she performed until 1984), her celebrated professional and personal relationships, her friendships and rivalries, are all recounted with a down-to-earth wit and an engagingly odd admixture of ego and selfeffacement. She tells it all: the legendary quips, the often prickly relationships with Met impresario Rudolph Bing and conductor von Karajan, the infamous story of the stalker "Miss N," and the touchingly rendered relationship with her beloved husband, Bertil Niklasson. What emerges from these pages is a diva in the old mold: a giant voice matched by an oversize personality, a professional who expected the same level of perfection from others that she demanded of herself, and a woman who loved and lived life with joy and good humor . . . and oh, that voice. Includes 56 photographs and a discography.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon described him as the Beatles' "favorite group," he won Grammy awards, wrote and recorded hit songs, and yet no figure in popular music is as much of a paradox, or as underrated, as Harry Nilsson. In this first ever full-length biography, Alyn Shipton traces Nilsson's life from his Brooklyn childhood to his Los Angeles adolescence and his gradual emergence as a uniquely talented singer-songwriter. With interviews from friends, family, and associates, and material drawn from an unfinished autobiography, Shipton probes beneath the enigma to discover the real Harry Nilsson. A major celebrity at a time when huge concerts and festivals were becoming the norm, Nilsson shunned live performance. His venue was the studio, his stage the dubbing booth, his greatest triumphs masterful examples of studio craft. He was a gifted composer of songs for a wide variety of performers, including the Ronettes, the Yardbirds, and the Monkees, yet Nilsson's own biggest hits were almost all written by other songwriters. He won two Grammy awards, in 1969 for "Everybody's Talkin'" (the theme song for Midnight Cowboy), and in 1972 for "Without You," had two top ten singles, numerous album successes, and wrote a number of songs--"Coconut" and "Jump into the Fire," to name just two--that still sound remarkably fresh and original today. He was once described by his producer Richard Perry as "the finest white male singer on the planet," but near the end of his life, Nilsson's career was marked by voice-damaging substance abuse and the infamous deaths of both Keith Moon and Mama Cass in his London flat. Drawing on exclusive access to Nilsson's papers, Alyn Shipton's biography offers readers an intimate portrait of a man who has seemed both famous and unknowable--until now.

On May 17, 2018, Birgit Nilsson (1918 - 2005) celebrated Swedish dramatic soprano, would have celebrated her 100th birthday.Arguably the last of the 'true' Wagnerians, she was by no means limited to Wagner. Her Isolde and Brünnhilde together with Salome, Elektra, Dyer's Wife and Turandot were often collectively referred to as the 'Nilsson repertoire'.Birgit Nilsson's voice was capable of flooding an opera house with 'oceans of sound' which no commercial recording has ever been able to capture; recordings of live opera broadcasts however come much closer to the 'real' Nilsson voice.This epic book is an homage in appreciation of countless glorious performances. Her career lasted almost 40 years. For some 25 years -- from the late 1950s to the early 1980s -- she was the dominant force in the dramatic / heroic soprano repertoire and the undisputed 'Queen of Wagnerians' of her generation, one of the all-time Greats in the history of opera.This lavish, highly collectible boxed publication includes text contributions from prominent members of the music world such as conductors James Levine and Riccardo Muti, and opera tenor Placido Domingo, plus collected photographs of Birgit Nilsson in her various roles from all major opera houses around the world.Published on the occasion of the exhibition at, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Autumn 2018 / Spring 2019).

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Federal Aviation Administration is the primary agency regulating civil aircraft in the United States. It sets standards of legal behavior by which a judge or jury may later decide whether you and your employer are legally liable for negligence in the event of an aircraft accident. #2 The Transportation Security Administration, a new federal agency, was assigned the responsibility for airport security, and the Federal Air Marshal program was beefed up and expanded. #3 The Secret Service is the federal agency responsible for protecting the lives and liberties of the American people. What it does: The Secret Service provides security for US presidents and their families, as well as the vice president, their spouses, and children. Furthermore, the Secret Service is tasked with investigating counterfeit money, passport fraud, and various other crimes. Forgeries, however, aren’t their main concern. Falsified documents used by terrorists are a far greater threat. The agency’s chief stated mission is to protect the First Family against all threats to their safety and security. How to beat them: The organization takes a serious approach to its work. Your first step in preparing yourself for a possible interview with a Secret Service agent should be to study the agency’s mission statement: To safeguard the American people and their property; to safeguard the President of the United States and his family; to safeguard national security; and to enforce the law. You may have heard that President Barack Obama’s daughters are protected by the Secret Service (see Chapter 4). But you may be surprised by how many agents are tasked with protecting members of our nation’s highest office. #4 The Transportation Department is the federal body that houses a variety of agencies dealing with policy and regulation of various means of transportation. The Department of Transportation is responsible for aviation security.
