“This remarkable detailed social history, written by a Harvard professor of music, is filled with the drama of opening nights, behind the scenes and in the audience, with sketches of the citys and the concert hall milieus, the impresarios, the composers and the conductors, and the singers charged with performing the music for the first time, followed by reports of the critical response, both popular and journalistic.”—Linda Rosenkrantz,
