Die massgebliche Biografie auf aktuellstem StandNikolaus Harnoncourt zählt zu den letzten "Grossmeistern" im Musikleben unserer Zeit und kann Publikum und Kritik polarisieren wie kein anderer. Mit seinen künstlerischen Ansprüchen und idealistischen Überzeugungen hat er traditionsgebundenen Ereignissen wie den Salzburger Festspielen und dem Neujahrskonzert der Wiener Philharmoniker entscheidende neue Impulse gegeben. In ihrer vielschichtigen Biografie zeichnet Monika Mertl nicht nur Harnoncourts Entwicklung vom Cellisten und Spezialisten für Alte Musik bis zum bahnbrechenden Interpreten grosser Meisterwerke nach, sie beleuchtet auch den weltanschaulichen Hintergrund, durch den seine Arbeit unverwechselbar wurde.

Report
Praise for the Clay Edison series
As for the keen sense of drama, it must be a genetic trait. . . . Unlike most crime writers (not to mention most of their readers), who revel in the bloody aftermath of a violent encounter, the Kellermans show compassion for the survivors, including conscientious officials like Edison. The New York Times Book Review
Edison is an interesting protagonist, a good man for whom finding the truth is more important than anything else, including his own safety. He s gentle and strong, compassionate and ruthless, methodical and impulsive. Booklist
