Mozart's Letters, Mozart's Life by Robert Spaethling
jz, November 1, 2006
A great introduction to Mozart's life, family, and travels. This new English translation provides a more easily accessible version than Emily Anderson's classic edition from 1966. Spaethling has tried to preserve Mozart's own voice by including (rather than "fixing") the original conversational sentence structure, phonetic spellings, and coarse language.(2 of 4 readers found this comment helpful)
Bing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams--The Early Years, 1903-1940 by Gary Giddins
jz, November 1, 2006
A great biography that lends insight into not only the life of Bing Crosby, but also the popular music industry of the time. Giddins is a terrific writer. This is no dry, dull reference volume but an easily read, honest view of an interesting man and his career.(2 of 4 readers found this comment helpful)
