Reviews

[W]ritten in a very engaging style with little tidbits about seemingly everyone. . . .This is, obviously, an important book if you are interested in conducting and 19th Century performance, but it also gives a wonderful look at the whole musical culture in Germany and England at the time.
*AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE*

An outstanding achievement, not merely a model biographical study, but one which will have set truly high standards for any future scholars.
*BRIO*

A formidable achievement...The sheer weight of archival research and supporting documentary evidence in this study is extraordinary...Even those who possess the original publication of 1993 should invest in this new edition.
