Ivan Hewitt writes: It’s apt that Wagner and Verdi were born in the same year. They are romantic opera’s two great antipodes, united in stature, but divided in almost everything else. They embody two completely different outlooks on life and art, which are rooted in the cultures of their respective nations. That’s why every German […]
“The same family that spearheaded the rebellion against the French in Syria’s Druze Mountain after World War I also produced two of the most renowned Arab musical artists of this century.

When Columbia issued the first of the five volumes in Bessie Smith’s complete recordings series in 1991 — as a logical follow-up to 1990’s wildly successful Robert Johnson: The Complete Recordings box — they were simply hoping for another hit.
