'Freischütz' and 'Oberon' are the words that come to the minds of many music-loving people when thinking of the composer Carl Maria von Weber, and perhaps even his brilliant piano work 'Die Aufforderung zum Tanz'. However, there also are four other operas, two symphonies, numerous instrumental concertos, overtures, stage works, and many more. Carl Maria von Weber was also an important conductor and opera manager as well as a brilliant critic, and he even planned a great artist novel parts of which are still extant. His writings on art and even cultural and educational policy, however, were often removed from their context later and interpreted in biased ways. The result was an image of Weber that is still present today, albeit influenced by the zeitgeist of the late 19th century, although this musician died in London in 1826 already. This first comprehensive biography after several decades now presents a vivid image of Weber as contemporary of Beethoven in an epoch of political and social unrest from a present-day perspective. • The only biography of current interest • Composer, critic, author • Weber's time from a present-day perspective

Es gibt nicht so viele Bücher über ein deutscher Meilenstein Komponist wie C.M. von Weber. Daher zugreifen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ein eigenwilliger Komponist
Reviewed in Germany on March 27, 2024

Der Titel hält was er verspricht. Carl Maria von Webers Lebensweg ist voll von Menschen, die ihn gekreuzt haben, und manchmal scheint es, als tauchten sie alle auch in dieser Biographie auf. Das ist einerseits mitunter interessant, aber irgendwann verlor ich den Überblick. Das, und ein paar Orthografiefehler sind aber auch schon die Schwächen des Buchs. Christoph Schwandt ist zwar kein Geschichtenerzähler, dafür ist er zu sehr mit der Musik verwurzelt, trotzdem gelingt es ihm, mit einem zuweilen süffisanten Unterton, durch das Leben des berühmten "deutschen" Komponisten zu führen. Von Weber der keineswegs adeliger Herkunft ist, kann sich jedoch immerhin der Verwandtschaft zu Mozart rühmen. Auch sonst ist das Werk voller Begebenheiten, die von witzig bis anrührend reichen, auch Webers Musikmissbrauch durch die Nationalsozialisten nicht ausklammern, und mit seinem viel zu frühen Tod enden.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eine sehr lohnende und spannende Neubetrachtung über den vielseitigen Komponisten Carl Maria von Weber !
Reviewed in Germany on March 19, 2015

Ein sehr lesenswertes Buch mit unendlich vielen, spannenden

Details und politischen, sowie gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhängen

der Zeit Carl Maria von Webers. Die Bewältigung des Alltags, die künstlerische

Tätigkeit und das unermüdliche “Selbstmanagement” des Komponisten

werden von Christoph Schwandt sehr anschaulich dargestellt und lassen Carl Maria von Weber

neu im Lichte des gewandten Kosmopoliten erscheinen. Wunderbar, daß es nun ein zeitgemäßes

Werk zu Weber gibt, das den allerneuesten Stand der wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse

hinzugezogen hat und Lust macht, Weber völlig neu und "entstaubt" zu entdecken.
