      Synopsis

      The editors have brought together a distinguished group of experts to examine Verdi's canon from various points of view. Sir Isaiah Berlin speaks of Verdi's humanism; Rodolfo Celletti discusses the qualities of his vocal writing; Julian Budden places the early works in the musical context of their time; while George Martin examines the composer's career in the light of historical events in Italy and elsewhere in Europe.
