Peter Sculthorpe: The Making of an Australian Composer

Viac o knihe

This first biography of Australia's best-known living composer is beautifully written and fastidiously researched. It provides an insight into Sculthorpe's formative years, his quest for a personal voice, and his arrival--through many creative friendships and collaborations--at a place in the collective heart of the nation. It is also a social history, charting the rise of modernism in Australian music through the eyes of its key player.
