"Il Trovatore, La Traviata, Aida, Otello, Falstaff--such are the operas which mark Giuseppe Verdi as one of the most successful of all operatic composers. He knew personal tragedy and frustration in the course of his long life (1813-1901), some of his early operas failed, and in his later years he found his reputation overshadowed by that of Wagner, yet few musicians have been so universally acclaimed and rewarded as Verdi. Today his talents are taken far more seriously by critics than they were fifty years ago, and his operas are immensely popular. The remarkable development of his small-town organist and choirmaster, who at nearly sixty produced the imposing and ever popular Aïda, at seventy-four the intensely dramatic Otello and at eighty the comic miracle of Falstaff, is now recognized. But Verdi was more than a great musician. He was a singularly lovable and human person, a formidable businessman, an ardent patriot. He knew and corresponded with all the great men of his day--musicians, artists and statesmen. Princes and peasants were his friends. Life on his farm at Sant'Agata was as dear to him as the applause at the world premiere of one of his operas. Carlo Gatti, who has spent a lifetime in the study of the maestro, has told his story in masterly fashion. His biography gives not only a full account of Verdi's activities as composer, but also describes his intimate life and the background of the stirring times in which he lived. It is a full, carefully detailed, heartwarming portrait, an inspiring study of a well-spent life. For many years one of Italy's leading music critics, Carlo Gatti is the author of several other musical biographies, including a life of Catalani. His 'Verdi' may be considered the standard biography. Originally published in 1939 and acclaimed throughout the music world, an English version is overdue. The present translation has been done by Elisabeth Abbott." --Dust jacket.

Giuseppe Verdi remains the greatest operatic composer that Italy, the home of opera, has ever produced. Yet throughout his lifetime he claimed to detest composing and repeatedly rejected it. He was a landowner, a farmer, a politician and symbol of Italian independence; but his music tells a different story.An obsessive perfectionist, Verdi drove collaborators to despair but his works lauded from the start as dazzling feats of composition and characterization. From Rigoletto to Otello, La Traviatato to Aida, Verdi’s canon encompassed the full range of human emotion. His private life was no less complex: he suffered great loss, and went out of his way to antagonize supporters and his own family. An outspoken advocate of Italian independence and a sharp critic of the church, he was often at odds with nineteenth-century society.In Verdi: The Man Revealed, John Suchet attempts to get under the skin of perhaps the most private composer who ever lived.

"When the old man died, the thronging citizens of Milan stopped and lined the streets to watch his funeral cortege go by. As the hearse passed, there rose from all those throats the sound of music--the famous chorus of exiles from Verdi's great success, Nabucco. For never has a composer so captured the loyalty and devotion of his fellow countrymen as did Giuseppe Verdi with his twenty-nine operas in his eighty-seven years. From his village birthplace, through years of training under the local organist and finally in Milan, Verdi was catapulted into early prominence. After Nabucco, his third work, opera after opera came from his pen until his great three, Rigoletto, Il Trovatore, and La Traviata, arrived in quick succession. But greater things were yet to come. It is the thesis of this book that Verdi left his crowning achievements in Aida, in the Requiem, in Otello, and finally in Falstaff, that miracle of the composer's eightieth year. As one would expect from the author of 'Caruso: The Man of Naples and the Voice of Gold', Mr. Ybarra neglects neither Verdi's private life nor his interesting personality. He tells of Verdi's early marriage, which ended tragically with the death of his wife and their two children; he tells of the period of despair which followed; and he tells of Verdi's awakening love for Giuseppina Strepponi, first his mistress, later his wife. This book, with its vigor and gusto, will take its place beside T. R. Ybarra's many previous successes." --Dust jacket.
