150 years of the world's most glorious music, written for one of Europe's most beautiful cities, is contained in this volume. Play the music, and let yourself be taken back to Vienna - city of dreams. Take a trip back in time to old Vienna - city of courtly intrigue, secret assignations, masked balls at the Schonbrunn Palace, elegant carriages in the Prater - a classic, orderly world conjured up by the music of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. The 18th century gives way to the Romantic 19th in the lyrical strains of Brahms, and the swirling, abandoned waltzes of Johann Strauss the younger - an epoch when the city itself was transformed into one endless, glittering ballroom. Finally, explore the introspective, Fin de Siecle world of Gustav Mahler, whose passionate but anguished lyricism heralded the downfall of the Hapsburg dynasty and the end of Vienna's heyday as Europe's most opulent capital.

Italy - a sun-soaked land of olives and cypresses, of art, culture and civilisation, where wine flows freely and passions run high. The land where everyone sings, and where opera was born. From the sparkling wit of Rossini - a man who enjoyed his food even more than his music, to Verdi's sophisticated world of triumphal marches and glittering balls, ladies of easy virtue and men who love and leave them; from Puccini's doomed heroines - fiery Tosca, fragile Butterfly and consumptive Mimi - who suffer for their loves (but still die singing!) to the parched southern landscape of Pagliacci, where tempers flare quickly and blood stains the arid earth - whether in real life or on the stage, Italy has always expressed its joys and sorrows in memorable melody. Play the music, and breathe the heady air of Italy.

There are also helpful sections on Ornamentation and Registration, and a Critical Commentary giving detailed information on the sources.
