On the occasion of his hundredth birthday, German composer Hans Werner Henze (1926-2012), whose operatic genius has left its mark on most major international stages, deserves to become better known to French audiences.
Philippe Torrens, professor of ancient languages, was torn between his love of literature and his interest in the music of his time. In this lively and informative book, he recounts the life and work of one of the greatest German composers of the second half of the 20th century.
