The Castrato: Reflections on Natures and Kinds Volume 16 Paperback - 2016
by Martha Feldman
From the rear cover
"Working in from the broadest anthropological reflections to the most minute points of physiology and endocrinology--by way of musical and social history, the theory and practice of singing, the insights of three centuries' worth of philosophers and psychologists, all illustrated with the rarest pictures and recordings--The Castrato is a scholarly and literary feast." --Richard Taruskin, University of California, Berkeley, and author of The Oxford History of Western Music "After centuries of anxious myth-making, finally we have a book about the castrati that we can trust, learn from, and enjoy. Martha Feldman has given us a meditation as thought-provoking as it is wide-ranging. After this book, the topic will never be quite the same: with Feldman's imagination to guide us, the castrato's resonances, both musical and more broadly cultural, will linger in the memory."--Roger Parker, coauthor of A History of Opera
