Críticas

'There is much more in this indispensable tome with its extensive notes and relevant music illustrations. ... each contribution is lucidly written'. Gramophone

'The fifteen contributors to The Cambridge Companion to Elgar provide a rich fund of new thoughts on the man and his music.' The Times Literary Supplement

'... splendid contributions.' Contemporary Review

'This is an extremely important book for the specialist music library or very comprehensive general reference collection.' Reference Reviews

'The Cambridge volume, wide-ranging and generally excellent, maintains the high standards of their 'Companion' series. Robin Holloway's typically incisive and entertaining piece on the early choral works should inspire wider appreciation of the masterly qualities of King Olaf, The Black Knight, etc. ... strongly recommended.' Classical Music
