Die Frau ohne Schatten (The Woman Without a Shadow), Richard Strauss'magical fairy tale opera, stars a pair of childless couples: a fairy-empress and her huntsman-emperor husband, and the poor dyer Barak and his grim wife. The supporting cast includes a fantasy crew of spirits, secret messengers, and disembodied voices, all bringing to life a dreamlike landscape in a series of intimate vignettes. The opera, which premiered in 1919, features a libretto based on an original story by Strauss' frequent collaborator, Hugo von Hofmannsthal. The latter's gifts as a lyric and dramatic poet found a fortuitous match in the composer's genius as an orchestrator. Strauss brought the Wagnerian concept of leitmotif into its fullest flower, and his sensuous, passionate operas ventured into new territory in terms of dramatic intensity and psychological depth. Most of Strauss' operas have enjoyed successful revivals, and Die Frau ohne Schatten stands alongside Salome, Elektra, and DerRosenkavalier in critical and popu

Richard Wollheim is one of the dominant figures in the philosophy of art, whose work has shown not only how paintings create their effects but why they remain important to us. His influential writings have focused on two core, interrelated questions: How do paintings depict? and how do they express feelings? In this collection of essays a distinguished group of thinkers in the fields of art history and philosophical aesthetics offers a critical assessment of Wollheim's theory of art. Among the themes under discussion are Wollheim's explanation of pictorial representation in terms of seeing-in, his views of artistic expression as a type of complex projection, and his notion of the internal spectator. In the final essay Wollheim himself responds to the contributors. This book will be eagerly sought out by all serious students of the theory of art, whether in departments of philosophy or art history.

You'll be amazed by what's happened since "10x10_2". Green architecture has gone from novelty to necessity, walls have gone from necessary to optional, hula hoops have become a building material. Local is the new international. Architecture is the new art. The 100 architects featured in this volume, the latest in our successful "10x10" series, are pushing the boundaries of design and redefining the very meaning of architecture: a building sliced in half in order to design the space in between; a one-ton floating object of seeming weightlessness; a high-end shop in downtown Seoul covered entirely in vegetation; and, a skyscraper that seems to disappear on sunny days. This is architecture as you've never seen it before. "10x10_3" is a comprehensive and global view of new architecture, presenting the work of 100 up-and-coming architects from around the world, selected by 10 of the best-informed critics, curators, and architects. They include Joseph Grima (USA); Kengo Kuma (Japan); Peter Schmal (Germany); and Ai

Chopin's piano works, renowned for their technical brilliance, also invariably project the composer's mercurial moods. Their complex emotional content often lies close to the surface: a sparkling and graceful passage may be tinged with melancholy, a dark moment may be crowned with a note of triumph. This superb collection of fifteen of Chopin's works for piano reflects these compelling qualities in some of the greatest piano compositions of the Romantic period. Foremost among them is perhaps the magnificent Fantasy in F Minor, Op. 49. Here,too, are the often-performed Barcarolle, Op. 60, and Berceuse, Op. 57; the Allegro de Concert, Op. 46, and the Andante spianato, Op. 22; and ten other works.
