Professor Michael Talbot

About Michael

Michael Talbot retired from the Alsop Chair of Music in 2003 but remains at the University as a Senior Fellow. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and is known internationally for his publications, which are mainly on Italian music of the eighteenth century, focussing on Vivaldi and his Italian contemporaries. He is the sole author of ten books, several of which have been translated, and has edited a further five. Numerous articles by him have appeared in journals world-wide. He co-edits the yearbook Studi vivaldiani and is active as an editor of eighteenth-century music and as a translator of writings in several other languages.

Michael's wider musical interests range from the fifteenth to the twentieth century, and he has always been a strong advocate of popular music studies within the School. A book he is editing on the baroque cantata is in preparation.

Research activity

Michael has published extensively over the course of his career and is an internationally renowned Vivaldi scholar. He has also edited, in the Liverpool Music Symposium series, a volume entitled The Musical Work: Reality or Invention?, with contributions by members of the University's School of Music (David Horn, Philip Tagg, Serge Lacasse, John Williamson, and James Wishart), and international scholars (Lydia Goehr, Richard Middleton, Catherine Moore, Reinhard Strohm, Jim Samson).

He has wide experience of lecturing and broadcasting in Britain and abroad, and of supervising postgraduate students of many nationalities. He has acted as a supervisor for doctoral theses, subsequently published in book form, on the Manchester Concerto Partbooks (by Paul Everett), the composer Michelangelo Rossi (by Catherine Moore), the violinist-composer Francesco Geminiani (by Enrico Careri) and women in music (by Jill Halstead).
