Synopsis
(Amadeus). With more than 200 stunning color photographs by noted photographer Wendy McDougall, Classical Destinations takes readers on a tour of the history and geography of classical music, examining the lives of the great composers as related to their places of birth, education, triumphs, and failures. For today's traveler the book comes full-circle, describing how, through their achievements, the great composers came to influence the places where they lived and performed. In these pages readers can visit Venice when it was home to Vivaldi, Salzburg as Mozart's prodigious talents emerged, Leipzig during the time of Mendelssohn and Schumann, Prague as growing Czech nationalism gripped Smetana, and the Vienna where Beethoven faced incurable deafness. The reader will accompany J. S. Bach through the towns of central Germany and tour St. Petersburg as Tchaikovsky knew it. Beyond the cities, Classical Destinations includes the dramatic landscapes of Norway and Finland that made so much of an impression on the music of Grieg and Sibelius., With more than 200 stunning color photos by noted photographer McDougall, "Classical Destinations" conducts a tour of the history and geography of classical music, examining the lives of the great composers as related to their places of birth, education, triumphs, and failures.

    Item came quickly and was well packed. The seller did reach out stating it had water stains on it and asked if I wanted it the item still. Which was taken care of by a little Bar Keepers Friend. I appreciate the open communication. Was happy to be able just to get a lid as i only need that for something I already had in my collection. Reasonable price

  • Best armchair journey ever

    Fascinating book that connects the great composers to the history, culture, and famous cities and towns where they lived and worked. Gorgeous photographs and compelling narrative. And lots of interesting little-known tidbits. Not just for classical music fans but for anyone who loves travel, learning about new places, and seeing both well-and-lesser-known parts of the world. A real gem!
