PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITIONS: "If you are for opera, this book
is for you."--"New York Times Book Review"The most influential
recent book on opera criticism. . . in the English-speaking
world"--"New Grove Dictionary of Opera"Affords the serious reader
and listener an absorbing encounter with a sensitive and superbly
trained intelligence in the act of thinking about music and music
criticism. . . . We come away remembering the sound of Kerman's
prose voice, mellifluous, elegant, eminently civilized, beneath its
cool control a ground bass of urgent feeling."--"San Francisco
Chronicle Book Review"The author's clarity and pungency...make for
enjoyable, challenging reading. It is a collection that can tease
the person who is primarily interested in opera into wanting to
explore the song literature of the English Renaissance or to listen
more knowledgeably to Mozart's piano concertos and Beethoven's
symphonies."--William Ashbrook, "Opera Quarterly ""Kerman's
musicological activity is technical without neglecting the
importance of text, cultural context, meaning, expression, and
value, and is likely to appeal to educated lay people.... Kerman's
scholarship is careful and sensitive, and often subtle and witty.
Yet this subtle scholarship has evoked strong and widespread
reaction and provided significant leadership within musicology and
beyond."--Renee Cox Lorraine, "Notes ""Lucid, lively.... Many
aspects of his work can provide inspiration."--Oliver Neighbour,
"Music and Letters"
