Description

'Its many insights and some sustained stretches of brilliant illumination make this new volume indispensable.' -Robin Holloway, London Review of Books'A magnificent work... Tovey's is a voice that still needs to be heard.' -Times Higher Education Supplement'More than welcome in these intellectually confused times... huge and superbly edited... This collection is particularly valuable for its revelations of his [Tovey's] musical and mental development, allowing us to gain a rounded, fully representative view of his achievements and failures alike, together with his struggles to communicate to best effect.' -Musical Times'Full of good things.' -Charles Rosen, Times Literary SupplementThe Classics of Music assembles here for the first time all of Tovey's significant writings not previously available as a collection. For much of the twentieth century, Donald Francis Tovey (1875-1940) has been Britain's most celebrated and influential writer on music, largely as a result of the considerable corpus of his work published by Oxford University Press in the 1930s and 1940s. However, as a prolific and popular lecturer, broadcaster, and essayist, Tovey left many writings unpublished at the time of his death. All the writings here are characteristically stimulating and stylish, making this essential collection available to a new generation of musicians.
