Recenzii
Afficianados of musical theater will find this a refreshing contribution to its scholarship, but historians of New York and its cultural milieu will also discover rich information here to fully assess this period in American history.
Praise for Marc Blitzstein, also by Howard Pollack
A timely and invaluable study of a composer we need to know more about. I marvel at Howard Pollack's capacity -- as with his biographies of Copland and Gershwin--to digest and synthesize a wealth of information, copiously gathered.
The story of an artistic genius who refused to sell out, and Pollack has made a powerful case for his rediscovery. With its extensive and insightful descriptions of the music, this bigraphy ought to win for Blitzstein the wider recognition and appreciation he so clearly deserves after so many years of neglect.
The fluidity of prose, moving between established fact and new interviews and critical ideas, is remarkable, making for a book that is rivaled only by Pollack's biography of Aaron Copland ... A momentous achievement indeed ... Highly recommended.
Pollack treats us to an eventful and rewarding voyage of immersion in the life and work of an important American composer.
