Richard Wagner - A Life in Music

Martin Geck

“[An] intriguing exploration of the composer’s life and thought as exemplified by his music. An excellent biography.” —Library Journal 
 
Best known for the four-opera cycle The Ring of the Nibelung, Richard Wagner (1813–83) was a conductor, librettist, theater director, and essayist, in addition to being the composer of some of the most enduring operatic works in history. Though his influence on the development of European music is indisputable, Wagner was also quite outspoken on the politics and culture of his time. His ideas traveled beyond musical circles into philosophy, literature, theater staging, and the visual arts. To befit such a dynamic figure, acclaimed biographer Martin Geck offers here a Wagner biography unlike any other, one that strikes a unique balance between the technical musical aspects of Wagner’s compositions and his overarching understanding of aesthetics. A landmark study of one of music’s most important figures 
 
“People who would like to know more about Wagner, and people who have loved his music for years . . . will find a great deal in this book to enjoy and to admire.” —Tablet 
 
“Geck describes a Wagner who is grounded, focused and even cautious, a savvy realist and ironist rather than a flamboyant, flailing ideologue . . . Suffused with his readings of contemporary productions of the operas, Geck’s musical analyses are succinct and superb” —New York Times 
 
“As an editor of Wagner’s Complete Works, Geck brings a deep familiarity with the composer to his task.” —Weekly Standard 
 
“A thoroughly approachable yet consistently provocative study.” —Thomas S. Grey, editor of The Cambridge Companion to Wagner

Fibber McGee & Molly - Volume 4...

Don Quinn

When a programme runs for years, and sometimes decades, it is a proven mark of quality and popularity that would be hard to dispel. 
The situation comedy ‘Fibber McGee and Molly’ ran from 1935 to 1959 on the NBC Red network and was often the most popular and eagerly awaited show of the week.  
Fibber was a story-teller prone to mad-cap schemes who was gently eased back into reality by his ever-loving wife Molly.  
The comic duo, played by the real-life married couple of Jim & Marion Jordan, lived in the working-class community of Wistful Vista.  Here, they played out their adventures amongst neighbours, friends and acquaintances.  Comedy and life came together in an almost perfect blend of American life.  
79 Wistful Vista was their home visited weekly by an audience that sought refuge from a long line of exhausting real-life events that stretched from the Great Depression, World War 2, Korea and even Rock N Roll.  Here they could find cheer and comfort in the middle of their struggles.  
With it’s lovable cast, it’s recurring characters, appealing storylines and interludes of music, it was a world that the airwaves and audiences loved.
