Very thorough, obfuscates homosexuality.,

This review is from: Karol Szymanowski: His Life and Work (Hardcover)
An excellently detailed biography drawing heavily and honestly from the biography by Teresa Chylinska . Compared to the biography by Maciejewski, the current opus lacks "life." I am not a musician, so I can't comment on all the remarks and details discussed and illustrated with excerpts from the composer's sheet music.
" I object to the statement that Szymanowski "was strictly speaking a bisexual," which the biographer bases on the fact that he had strong friendships with several women. Other books I have read refer more directly to the composer's sexual orientation. The book would be more believable if Szymanowski's homosexuality had been discussed openly. Good number of photographs are included. |
