Thanks to several opera companies, no fewer than two orchestras, public chamber music and solo concerts, and numerouschoirs, New Yorkers were regularly exposed to \"new\" music of Verdi, Meyerbeer, Schumann, Berlioz, Liszt, and Wagner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eEuropean Music and Musicians in New York City, 1840-1900\u003c\/i\u003e, the first thorough exploration of musical life in New York City during this period, editor John Graziano and a number of other distinguished essayists assert that the richness of the artistic life of the city, particularly at this time, has been vastly underrated and undervalued. This marvelous new collection of essays, with topics ranging from military bands and immigrant impresarios to visits from operatic diva Adelina Patti, establishes that this musical scene was one of quantity and quality, lively and multifaceted -- in many ways equal to the scene in the largest of the Old World's Cities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Contributors: Adrienne Fried Block, Christopher Bruhn, Raoul F.
