Virgil Thomson 在线电子书 著者简介

When, in October 1940, the New York Herald Tribune named the composer Virgil Thomson (1896–1989) its chief music critic, the management of the paper braced itself for an uproar. Perhaps best known for his collaboration with librettist Gertrude Stein on the whimsically nonsensical “anti-opera” Four Saints in Three Acts, Thomson was notorious among conservative concertgoers as a leader of America’s musical avant-garde and a maverick writer who delighted in unmasking the timidity, amateurism, and artistic pretensions of New York’s music establishment. But controversy—together with wit, good writing, and critical authority—was exactly what the Herald Tribune was looking for. “Only such an assumption can explain,” Thomson later concluded, “why a musician so little schooled in daily journalism, a composer so committed to the modern, and a polemicist so contemptuous as myself of music’s power structure should have been offered a post of that prestige.”

in Virgil Thomson the Herald Tribune got its full share of controversy. It also got something American music journalism had not had before and has rarely had since: a critic who could describe from experience the sounds he hears, the presence and temperaments of the musician producing them, and the urgent matters of art, culture, tradition, talent, and taste that a musician’s performance embodies, all in a signature style that charmed a wide readership. “Thomson was open to every stylistic persuasion,” John Rockwell of The New York Times has written, and he “concerned himself with music that most music critics didn’t consider music at all—jazz, folk, gospel. . . . He wrote with enthusiasm and perception about the new music he liked, sweeping his readers along with him. By so doing, he built bridges—long dilapidated or never constructed—between music, the other arts, and the American intellectual community. Indeed, in his music and in his prose, he has given us as profound a vision of American culture as anyone has yet achieved.”

Music Chronicles 1940–1954 presents the best of Thomson’s newspaper criticism as the author collected it in four books long out of print: The Musical Scene (1945), The Art of Judging Music (1948), Music Right and Left (1951), and Music Reviewed (1967). The volume is rounded out by a generous selection of other writings from the Herald Tribune years and, in an appendix, eight early essays in which Thomson announced the themes and developed the voice that would distinguish him as America’s indispensable composer-critic.

Tim Page, editor, is a professor of journalism and music at the University of Southern California. He won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1997 for his writings about music for The Washington Post. He is the author, editor, or co-editor of more than twenty books, including Parallel Play, a memoir; Selected Letters of Virgil Thomson; and the two-volume Library of America edition of the novels of Dawn Powell.

Virgil Thomson 在线电子书 图书描述

Revisit the Golden Age of classical music in America through the witty and adventurous reviews of our greatest critic-composer: For fourteen memorable years Virgil Thomson surveyed the worlds of opera and classical music as the chief music critic for the New York Herald Tribune. An accomplished composer who knew music from the inside, Thomson communicated its pleasures and complexities to a wide readership in a hugely entertaining, authoritative style, and his daily reviews and Sunday articles set a high-water mark in American cultural journalism. Thomson collected his newspaper columns in four volumes: The Musical Scene, The Art of Judging Music, Music Right and Left, and Music Reviewed. All are gathered here, together with a generous selection of Thomson’s uncollected writings. The result is a singular chronicle of a magical time when an unrivaled roster of great conductors (Koussevitzky, Toscanini, Beecham, Stokowski) and legendary performers (Horowitz, Rubinstein, Heifetz, Stern) presented new masters (Copland, Stravinsky, Britten, Bernstein) and re-introduced the classics to a rapt American audience.
