Editorial Reviews
Review
“His criticism of the various recordings and performances is concise, well-considered, and often witty, without being the work of a show-off. Also admirable is Mr. Brown's enthusiasm for the task he has undertaken, as well as his obviously sincere enjoyment of good singing and conducting. Rarely does one come across a volume of opera criticism so devoid of mean-spirited attacks on one or another artist as this one.”–Wagner Notes
“In fact Brown's detective work has been tireless, and he has himself heard most of the titles he lists. This also bears fruit in his 28-page introduction which amounts to a review, brief but sharply opinionated, of the recordings that constitute the material of the book. The work is, as it must be, a labour of love.”–Opera
“This work is a must for diehard Wagnerians, music librarians, classical music stations, and performing arts organizations. For research purposes it is more than intriguing; it is valuable.”–ARBA
