Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-09 00:00:00 Oliver Ortiz Uno de los libros de consulta de referencia sobre las óperas de Verdi. Ofrece rigor musical e histórico en un estilo ameno. Las obras son analizadas en sendos capítulos con estructura cerrada (contexto y apuntes biográficos, argumento y análisis musical). Sin embargo, su lectura de seguido, obviando la parte central de cada capítulo donde se detalla el argumento del libreto, permite obtener una visión de conjunto del corpus verdiano, ya que Osborne incide en la evolución del estilo del maestro de Busseto, estableciendo relaciones entre unas obras y otras.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-12 00:00:00 Hope Rashell Sinclair If you want one about Verdi's operas, this is your book. But it's not just a run down of the who's and why's, Osborne gives enough context so that even if you haven't watched every single one, you'll understand each one and you'll want to seek them out ASAP. An indispensable book and I look forward to getting more of his work.
