Following the successful volumes of Song on Record, this book
surveys all the recordings of major choral works from the
Monteverdi Vespers to Britten's War Requiem. Discussion of the
various interpretations on record is preceded, in each chapter, by
informed criticism of the work concerned, including--where
appropriate--a clarification of editions, revisions, etc. (all the
many changes in Messiah are, for instance, described in detail).
The coverage of recordings is exhaustive and its value is enhanced
by a detailed discography, with up-to-date numbers of each
recording. Each contributor is an authority within his or her
specialist area and collectively, their insights and observations
of leading music critics make the book invaluable to record
collectors, music lovers and anyone with an interest in changing
tastes and styles of musical performance. Alan Blyth, formerly with
The Times (London) is now the music critic of The Daily Telegraph.
He is on the editorial board of Opera, the editor of the
three-volume Opera on Record and two-volume Song on Record (CUP),
as well as author of Remembering Britten and Introduction to
Wagner's Ring.
