Composed in 1882, Franck's brilliant ton poem is after a ballad by the German poet Gottfried B?ger about a count who defiantly goes hunting on Sunday in violation of the sabbath. Though reminded of the day via church bells and chants and warned by church elders, the Count blows his hunting horn. In the forest he is cursed by a loud voice: "Cursed hunter, be thou eternally pursued by Hell!" The wild ride commences when the count attempts to flee but is sourrounded by flames, and pursued by demons - blocking him and then chasing him day and night. Even when the count and his horse fall into the abyss they are borne through the air to ride on in eternal punishment.
Inspired by the lurid tale, Franck unleashed the power of a large orchestra to portray the dark and fantastic tale of the infernal ride in sound. Clint Nieweg and Nancy Bradburd's 2010 edition, previously issued by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus, is based on the first edition and other authoritative sources. The study score offered here is a reduced-format reissue of the large conductor's score, which is now available along with the orchestral parts from Serenissima Music.

This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!

Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
