Strand Notes

Bernard Williams, who died in 2003, was one of the most influential moral philosophers of his generation. A life-long opera lover, his artcles & essays, talks for the BBC, contributions to the 'Grove Dictionary of Opera,' & programme-notes for The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, & the English National Opera, generated a devoted following. This elegant volume brings together these widely scattered & largely unobtainable pieces, including two that have not been previously published. It covers an engaging range of topics from Mozart to Wagner, including sparkling essays on specific operas by those composers as well as Verdi, Puccini, Strauss, Debussy, Janacek & Tippett.
