This collection contains 30 of his...

Medea

The <I>Medea </I>of Euripides is one of the greatest of all Greek tragedies and arguably the one with the most significance today. A barbarian woman brought to Corinth and there abandoned by her Greek husband, Medea seeks vengeance on Jason and is willing to strike out against his new wife and family—even slaughtering the sons she has born him.

What is music? «God's best gift to man,» as Walter Savage Landor said? «The moonlight in the gloomy night of life,» as Jean Paul Richter put it? Or perhaps—as Carl Maria von Weber and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow agree —"the universal language of mankind"? Whatever it is, it certainly «hath charms to soothe the savage breast,» as William Congreve famously observed. And it «expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent» (Victor Hugo).These...
