DE WERT: MOTETS, BOOK I (1566) Brilliant Classics

Nagrania muzyczneMuzyka poważna

Born in 1536, Giaches de Wert represents the fifth and last generation of Franco-Flemish composers ? although he in fact spent most of his working life in Mantua, where Duke Guglielmo di Gonzaga had appointed him maestro di cappella of the city?s newly built basilica. Gonzaga was himself a talented composer, and his reason for commissioning this church was to do full justice both to liturgy and music, inspired by the ideals of the Counter-Reformation.Unsurprisingly, given the location of his career, De Wert?s style is highly Italianiate, but it is also firmly rooted in the stately Franco-Flemish polyphonic tradition, and it is this combination of ?old? and ?new? (often within a single piece) that makes his 1566 motet collection Motectorum liber primus ? the subject of this release ? so fascinating. Written for five or six (Adesto solori meo) voices, the set ranges from the ?oldest?, almost entirely polyphonic, compositions to works in which there is a constant alternation between sections of counterpoint and choir en bloc, and pieces which are firmly rooted in the style of the Italian genre of the madrigal. All throughout the release, which is divided into three groups (prayers and admonitions; Old Testament texts; gospel narratives), word painting, harmony and structure coalesce to provide a programmatic backdrop to the text; motets such as Transeunte Domino and Intravit Jesus, for example, are veritable historiae sacrae in which the music tells every small detail of the gospel story.Performing this music is Dutch vocal group Collegium Musicum Amsterdam, one of Europe?s leading choirs and which recently marked its 75th anniversary. The ensemble?s original focus was on 15th- and 16th-century repertoire of The Netherlands, but in recent years it has branched out to cover all manners of styles ? including new music by composers such as Hendrik Andriessen. Here it appears under the directorship of Anthony Zielhorst, one of Netherlands ? leading choral conductors.Other information:- Recorded 13, 14 & 21 April 2013, O.L. Vrouw Geboortekerk, Gellicum, The Netherlands.- Giaches de Wert (1536-1595) was born in Flanders. He became one of the foremost composers of the Golden Age of Renaissance vocal polyphony, together with other illustrious composers: Dufay, Ockeghem, Obrecht, Josquin and Lassus. At an early age he went to Italy, where he became Maestro di Cappella of the Santa Barbara Basilica of Mantua, built by Guglielmo Gonzaga, head of the ruling family who were central in the development of the high cultural climate of Mantua.- De Wert?s music is firmly rooted in the stately Franco-Flemish polyphonic tradition, in which he introduced ?Italian? elements expressing the emotional content of the text, such as sadness, sorrow, joy and exaltation.- This new recording contains the First Book of Motets, a first recording, sung by one of the foremost Early Music Choirs of The Netherlands, the Collegium Musicum Amsterdam, conducted by Anthony Zielhorst.

Pope and Mussolini Random House Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER§§ From National Book Award finalist David I. Kertzer comes the gripping story of Pope Pius XI's secret relations with Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. This groundbreaking work, based on seven years of research in the Vatican and Fascist archives, including reports from Mussolini's spies inside the highest levels of the Church, will forever change our understanding of the Vatican's role in the rise of Fascism in Europe.§§The Pope and Mussolini tells the story of two men who came to power in 1922, and together changed the course of twentieth-century history. In most respects, they could not have been more different. One was scholarly and devout, the other thuggish and profane. Yet Pius XI and "Il Duce" had many things in common. They shared a distrust of democracy and a visceral hatred of Communism. Both were prone to sudden fits of temper and were fiercely protective of the prerogatives of their office. ("We have many interests to protect," the Pope declared, soon after Mussolini seized control of the government in 1922.) Each relied on the other to consolidate his power and achieve his political goals.§§In a challenge to the conventional history of this period, in which a heroic Church does battle with the Fascist regime, Kertzer shows how Pius XI played a crucial role in making Mussolini's dictatorship possible and keeping him in power. In exchange for Vatican support, Mussolini restored many of the privileges the Church had lost and gave in to the pope's demands that the police enforce Catholic morality. Yet in the last years of his life-as the Italian dictator grew ever closer to Hitler-the pontiff's faith in this treacherous bargain started to waver. With his health failing, he began to lash out at the Duce and threatened to denounce Mussolini's anti-Semitic racial laws before it was too late. Horrified by the threat to the Church-Fascist alliance, the Vatican's inner circle, including the future Pope Pius XII, struggled to restrain the headstrong pope from destroying a partnership that had served both the Church and the dictator for many years.§§The Pope and Mussolini brims with memorable portraits of the men who helped enable the reign of Fascism in Italy: Father Pietro Tacchi Venturi, Pius's personal emissary to the dictator, a wily anti-Semite known as Mussolini's Rasputin; Victor Emmanuel III, the king of Italy, an object of widespread derision who lacked the stature-literally and figuratively-to stand up to the domineering Duce; and Cardinal Secretary of State Eugenio Pacelli, whose political skills and ambition made him Mussolini's most powerful ally inside the Vatican, and positioned him to succeed the pontiff as the controversial Pius XII, whose actions during World War II would be subject for debate for decades to come.§§With the recent opening of the Vatican archives covering Pius XI's papacy, the full story of the Pope's complex relationship with his Fascist partner can finally be told. Vivid, dramatic, with surprises at every turn, The Pope and Mussolini is history writ large and with the lightning hand of truth.§§NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE§§"Kertzer has an eye for a story, an ear for the right word, and an instinct for human tragedy. This is a sophisticated blockbuster." -Joseph J. Ellis , Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Revolutionary Summer §§"A fascinating and tragic story." -The New Yorker§§"Revelatory . . . [a] detailed portrait." - The New York Review of Books §§From the Hardcover edition.

Dana Thomas - Deluxe Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Dana Thomas' "Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its Lustre" goes deep inside the workings of today's world of profit margins and market share to discover the real meaning of 'luxury'. Fashion may be fabulous, but what's the true price of luxury? From the importance of fashion owners, to red carpet stars and the seasonal 'must-have' handbags, Dana Thomas shows how far illustrious houses have moved from their roots. Thomas witnesses how these 'luxury' handbags are no longer one in a million, discovers why luxury brand clothing doesn't last as long, and finds out just who is making your perfume. From terrifying raids on the Chinese sweat shops to the daunting chic of Paris workshops, from the handcrafting and economics of early-twentieth century designers to the violent truth behind the 'harmless' fakes, Deluxe goes deep into the world of extravagance, and asks: where can true luxury go now? "Definitive". ("Daily Telegraph"). "Thomas' message is relevant to shoppers of every stripe". ("The New York Times"). "Thomas explores what luxury meant before the word was both inflated and devalued". ("Guardian"). "Great aversion therapy ...we suspect we're being fleeced, but we don't know with what cynical dedication".("The Times").
