Recenzii

'Arnold Whittall's brilliant technical book on the music of Benjamin Britten and Michael Tippett is really two books for the price on one.' Opera Quarterly
'This is an important book, enriching with far more exact substance than had so far been essayed the common view of these two composers as talents in many ways complementary.' Music and Letters
'[Whittall's] book contains the most substantial writing on Tippett so far, while on Britten he provides an essential complement to Peter Evans's major study.' The Times Literary Supplement
