Jackson, Paul
START UP AT THE NEW MET
The Metropolitan Opera Broadcasts,
1966-1976
Amadeus Press (New York, NY, 2010)
In this new work, Paul Jackson expands his survey of
the broadcasts by examining the decade that saw the
move from the old house uptown to the technological
marvel at Lincoln Center. There Rudolf Bing’s final six
years give way to four seasons of management
turmoil until 1976, when James Levine was named
music director and took hold of the Met’s artistic
future. 140 performances, beginning with the
controversial opening night premiere of Barber’s
“Antony and Cleopatra”, are vividly recaptured by
Jackson, a musicologist with an ability to combine
narrative history with musical analysis and criticism.
The legendary creations of Tebaldi and Corelli,
Sutherland and Tucker, of Caballe, Crespin, Price,
Bergonzi, Gedda and others are explored in depth.
Conductor luminaries like Bernstein, Boehm, Krips
and Karajan dispel the efforts of more mortal
colleagues. And Domingo and Pavarotti enter upon
the scene that they will dominate for decades to come.
Featuring 100 photos (the majority courtesy of the
Metropolitan Opera Archives), this book will delight
both seasoned devotees of the broadcasts and new
listeners alike. Hardback, 624 p.

Laing, Buddy
BUDDY HOLLY
Indiana University Press (Bloomington, IN, 2010)
In his analysis of Buddy Holly’s music and lyrics, his
impact on music of the late 1950s, and his
posthumous influence on the music industry, Dave
Laing aims to provide a fresh perspective on this
early rock icon. The longest-serving member of the
rock immortals club - those singers and musicians for
whom death seems to inaugurate a new phase of
their careers - Holly was elevated to a place of honor
in rock history soon after the plane crash that took his
life in February 1959. One of the first artifacts
acquired by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum
was the twisted pair of his trademark black-rimmed
glasses recovered from the plane wreckage. Despite
his premature death at the age of 22 and the relatively
limited output of his recordings during his lifetime,
Buddy Holly remains one of the most influential and
best-loved figures in rock ‘n’ roll. Includes 10 b&w
photos. Paperback, 208 p.
