Descrição:
Paperback / softback. New. An exploration of why innumerable boys were castrated for singing between the mid-sixteenth and late-nineteenth centuries. It shows that the entire foundation of Western classical singing, culminating in bel canto, was birthed from an unlikely and historically unique set of desires, public and private, aesthetic, economic, and political.

The Castrato: Reflections on Natures and Kinds Volume 16 Brochura - 2016
por Martha Feldman
Descrição da contracapa
"Working in from the broadest anthropological reflections to the most minute points of physiology and endocrinology--by way of musical and social history, the theory and practice of singing, the insights of three centuries' worth of philosophers and psychologists, all illustrated with the rarest pictures and recordings--The Castrato is a scholarly and literary feast." --Richard Taruskin, University of California, Berkeley, and author of The Oxford History of Western Music
"After centuries of anxious myth-making, finally we have a book about the castrati that we can trust, learn from, and enjoy. Martha Feldman has given us a meditation as thought-provoking as it is wide-ranging. After this book, the topic will never be quite the same: with Feldman's imagination to guide us, the castrato's resonances, both musical and more broadly cultural, will linger in the memory."--Roger Parker, coauthor of A History of OperaDetalhes
