[mascagni-interest] Book by Alan Mallach

[Erik Bruchez]

Dear list,

I just received today, from Amazon, Alan Mallach's book, "Pietro
Mascagni and His Operas". I obviously haven't had time to read it yet,
but it is a very nice-looking hardcover book with a superb cover
picture of Mascagni looking over a score, that I had never seen
before.

The book is essentially a biography, the first serious one written in
English to my knowledge, if one excepts David Stivender's
"autobiography". It also features a selective discography and a
bibliography. This means that it oes not competes with fellow list
member Roger Flury's remarkably extensive book, which focuses on
works, performances, bibliography and especially discography.

I will keep you posted once I have read it.

-Erik
