NAXOS FAWKES, RICHARD 4 CD - Richard Fawkes The History of Opera, Audiobook, read by Robert Powell. Opera, said Moliere, is the most expensive noise known to man. From its beginnings in the 16th century, through to today when there are as many musical styles as there are composers, opera has fascinated, infuriated, delighted, been censored, been banned, excited riots, even won a nation its freedom. This absorbing history is illustrated by over 100 musical examples.
