The Birth of an Opera: Fifteen Masterpieces from Poppea to Wozzeck , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 974min
The Birth of an Opera offers illuminating insight into how operas are written and the personalities, incidents, and musical circumstances that have shaped their composition. Through a deft compilation of primary sources—letters, memoirs, and personal accounts from composers, librettists, and performers—Michael Rose re-creates for his readers the circumstances that gave rise to fifteen operatic milestones. From Monteverdi and Mozart to Puccini and Berg, each chapter focuses on a well-known opera and tells the story that lies behind its creation. Rather than retreading familiar ground with pages of historical and musical analysis, Rose places each opera firmly in the context of the composer’s life and provides an engaging text in which the varied and colorful personalities involved are seen to discuss, comment, and contribute in one way or another to the progress of its composition. The reader will find Mozart with a new and flamboyant librettist tackling the risky enterprise of Le Nozze di Figaro; Wagner confessing his hidden love for the woman who inspires him as he creates the passionate drama of Tristan und Isolde; Verdi deep in Shakespearian discussion with Boito as they remodel the tragedy of Otello; and Debussy coming almost literally to blows with Maeterlinck over the soprano to take the leading role in Pellas et Mlisande. Throughout, Rose offers his readers the most direct possible link to events that have often become twisted or obscured by operatic myth, and in so doing he captures the bizarre interactions of chance, genius, practical necessity, and dogged determination that accompanied the making of some of opera’s most enduring masterpieces. ungekürzt.

Embrace the Void Bravely: & Other Secular Sermons , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 222min
“While covering many of the age old existential problems faced by the non-religious, Hochdorf avoids retreading the steps of the New Atheists and presents us with a fresh, thoughtful, charming little book.” (Helen Pluckrose, editor-in-chief of Areo Magazine)“This book is teeming with beauty and hope. An inspirational message for those of us who prefer to be amazed by the limitless awe-inspiring reality around us, as opposed to the limited imaginations of ancient men.” (Yasmine Mohammed, Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam)“Race’s provocative, open-hearted essays tackle the central, existential angst of our modern era: how can godless secularism give humans the meaning and morality that religion falsely provides? His answers are astonishing, challenging, revolutionary.” (Hank Pellissier, founder of Humanist Global Charity)“Woody Guthrie famously painted his guitar with the motto ‘This machine kills fascists.’ Race Hochdorf could label Embrace the Void Bravely with ‘This book kills divine tyrants.’” (David Fitzgerald, The Complete Heretic’s Guide to Western Religion)If ever there could be an “atheist prophet” shouting in the wilderness with fire in his bones, Race Hochdorf would certainly fit the bill. Exploring the uncharted territory of secular life in a way only a young man with an old “soul” could, Embrace the Void Bravely fearlessly tackles the subjects of anti-theism, moral truth, romantic love, friendship, death, and capitalism; giving humanists a welcome respite from the stale debate over the mere existence of god, and encouraging us to break new ground in terms of how the godless can actually live in an increasingly hollow consumerist age. Masterfully combining realism with the utopian, polemic with the poetic, and warmheartedness with the direct, this triumphant volume is invaluable for the growing number of nonbelievers who walk away from faith and ask, “What now?” ungekürzt.
