From the cylinder to the download, the practice of music has been
radically transformed by the development of recording and playback
technologies. This 2009 Companion provides a detailed overview of
the transformation, encompassing both classical and popular music.
Topics covered include the history of recording technology and the
businesses built on it; the impact of recording on performance
styles; studio practices, viewed from the perspectives of
performer, producer and engineer; and approaches to the study of
recordings. The main chapters are interspersed by 'short takes' -
short contributions by different practitioners, ranging from
classical or pop producers and performers to record collectors.
Combining basic information with a variety of perspectives on
records and recordings, this book will appeal not only to students
in a range of subjects from music to the media, but also to general
readers interested in a fundamental yet insufficiently understood
dimension of musical culture.
