Reviews

`It is a fine piece of research in its own right, as well as being an invaluable guide to other researchers. THe detail provided is extraordinary, and the investigation has been carried out with great care and in enormous depth. Though the book is nominally a catalogue, Parlett gives a fine and admirably balanced view of Bax in his introduction... it is fascinating to dip into the volume at random. Hidden among the entries are many gems of quiet, whimsical
humour - some emanating from Bax, some from Parlett, and always understated by the author. The production of the book is very fine. This is a piece of work for which we should all be grateful and which should become a benchmark for any future researchers seeking to compile a catalogue of a composers
works.'
Lionel Pike, Music and Letters
