Zusammenfassung:This study in artistic hermeneutics contains objections and critiques that have been generated by the contemporary cultural scenery of musical interpretation, especially related to the opera performances. Nevertheless, as the reader will surely notice, such critique can be very well applied to the entire spectrum of contemporary culture, as the phenomena described here are ubiquitous. Ion Piso's "alarm signal"-study is essential reading, particularly as it comes from somebody who has over half a century's experience of being an artist-interpreter in world opera. As such, Piso is well-placed to offer such a critique, and thus fulfil Goethe's challenging desideratum: "You can only judge fairly what you, yourself, are able to accomplish." (...) Ion Piso started his musical career as a tenor in 1950 and, prior to 1995, sang in over 200 tours on three continents, and interpreted 88 opera parts. He has also spent time as a director and an opera manager at the Staatstheater in Oldenburg, West Germany, and the Cluj State Opera, in addition to featuring in musical films. He received a PhD in Musicology from the Bucharest Musical Academy in 2000, and started writing books and articles related to vocal technique and to cultural aspects of the opera today. (Klappentext)
