Dr. Charles Barber has informed me that in August 2010, Rowman & Littlefield / Scarecrow Press will publish a book he authored entitled, CORRESPONDING WITH CARLOS: A BIOGRAPHY OF CARLOS KLEIBER. It is based on the friendship of many years that Dr. Barber enjoyed with Carlos and draws upon over 200 letters, postcards, pictures, and faxes that Dr. Barber received from the maestro. Needless to say, this will be "must reading" for admirers of Carlos.

This book, we're all waiting, was also mentioned in the Wikipedia page on CK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Kleiber but was recently removed because not yet published; you can see in in "View history" on wiki website. Between new links in that wiki page, updated (there are also the news of Muti's concert with the VPO in Ljubljana) there is the link www.carlos-kleiber.com/resources where we can find the transcript of the BBC interview.  |

Is there a date of publication for Dr. Barber's book yet?

I'm sorry to mention this again, but has anyone heard what has become of Dr Barber's much-anticipated book (in English!!)??

Charles Barber tells me that he's aiming to have his book published by July 2011, "the birth and death month." He's currently working on getting permissions for the photos, then will do the Index "upon receipt of the galleys."
So, in short, we should see Charles' new book by this summer.

Good to hear all is well... what a treat in store!
I don't suppose we are anywhere nearer English translations for the other books published on CK to date?

I haven't heard of any being underway.
Maybe you should write Alexander Werner and ask him to translate his book into English.
By the way, I believe that Charles Barber's book will be incredibly revealing about Carlos the person and will be extremely well written. I'm definitely buying a copy.

I have Werner's book but I haven't yet learned reading it from German!  (Little news certainly known: this week, the VPO - which CK directed in Neujahrkonzert of 1989 and 1992, and on many other occasions - will be in SF after twenty years... www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/02/18/PKRN1HLNV2.DTL&feed=rss.classical , but in this linked article there is a dispute about exclusion) |
