Like his contemporary; the English poet laureate Alfred; Lord Tennyson; Gustave Doreacute; (1832ndash;83) was highly regarded for his mastery of technique. One of the most prolific and successful book illustrators of the late nineteenth century; he provided a wealth of hauntingly beautiful illustrations for the first four parts of Idylls of the King; Tennysons classic poetic treatment of the Arthurian legends. This volume contains meticulous reproductions of all 36 plates from rare English editions published in 1867ndash;69.Like many of his other works; Doreacute;s illustrations for the Idylls possess great drama; detail; and power; overlaid with a melancholy; otherworldly mood. His masterly technique is abundantly evident in splendid; idealized scenes illustrating the romantic involvements of four lovely ladies: "the fair Elaine;" much enamored of Lancelot; Guinevere; Arthurs perfidious queen; Enid; the wife of Geraint; one of Arthurs knights; and the "wily Vivien;" a scheming beauty who attempts to seduce the wizard Merlin.Accompanied by synopses and appropriate quotations from Tennysons poem; Doreacute;s illustrations bring these marvelous legends to vivid life.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great tab for live versionsBy Terence A. EchterlingHendrix was a master of improving variations on the recorded versions of his songs and this contains a great selections of his hits and the standards he incorporated into his live sets. The transcription Like a Rolling Stone is especially interesting both for his interpretation of Dylan and as a song not recorded in the studio but important to his musical philosophy.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very detailed and accurate.By Conraddddd21When I ordered this book I expected nothing less from Hal Leonard than a detailed and incredibly accurate transcription of Hendrixs Winterland Album. The only thing that I could complain about is that it is just the transcription of album tracks. If you go on YouTube and type f.e. "Hendrix Winterland Hey Joe" you will find a version with a great intro and a sort of intro jam that I hoped to get a transcription of. This book DOES NOT contain whats not on the album.
