The author says that British dramatist George Bernard Shaw did no concert reviewing after his resignation from the world in 1894. But the death of composer Giuseppe Verdi in 1901 elicited from him the superb article on Verdi's work and an atrocious performance of play "II Trovatore" in 1917. It provoked the equally fine article on that opera, which are included in the volume of his music criticism published recently. The play "II Trovatore" is unique, even among the works of its own composer and its own country. It has tragic power, poignant melancholy, impetuous vigor and a sweet and intense pathos that never loses its dignity.
