Über diesen Titel

Críticas

'In both the clarity of its organization and the uniformly high standard of the individual essays, this is an outstanding collection.' The Times Literary Supplement

'This is another useful addition to the Cambridge Companions to Music series, this time covering an area of music which has received less scholarly attention than others until the second half of the twentieth century ... This is a scholarly book for the undergraduate or postgraduate student ... although some opera fans of a more academic bent might find it of interest.' Stella Thebridge, Reference Reviews
