Hand in Hand with Joaquin Rodrigo: My Life at the Maestro's SideLatin American Literary Review Press, 1992 - 366 Seiten Composer Joaquín Rodrigo's music is an homage to the rich and varied cultures of Spain. His unique creations draw from influences that range from the ancient Roman conquerors of Iberia to modern Spanish poets and writers. Since 1933 the blind composer was assisted and inspired by his talented wife, pianist Victoria Kamhi, his most important collaborator and his life's partner. This book is the story of a loving marriage and a professional struggle that led to international acclaim. After the years of exile and deprivation during the Spanish Civil War and World War II, Rodrigo's work began to gain attention and praise from the musical world. Active as critic and academic, Rodrigo has also received commissions from some of the most distinguished soloists of our era. |
