Publisher Synopsis
'This is indeed a comprehensive, impressive overview of the music of the period in question. It succeeds in this because Jim Samson has assembled an equally impressive selection of Anglo-American musicological minds to write it with him ... there is in fact nothing gimmicky here, but much to admire ... the book ... on its own terms ... remains a significant contribution to the current literature, of which any publisher should be proud.'
