Book summaryA second volume in the author's exhaustive examination of weekly radio broadcasts by the Metropolitan Opera. In this volume, Jackson--a performer and historian--chronicles "Live at the Met" performances from 1950 to 1966, a period marked by the ascendency of such divas as Joan Sutherland and Birgit Nilsson. Media reviews"...one of the best histories of singing ever published. Now that so many of these old broadcasts are finding their way on to CDs, either through the Met's own publishing efforts, or other series, his work will become the manual for listeners and researchers alike." |
