Product Description

Music's confrontation with modernity has been difficult, and has often involved the artist leaving his country for political and social reasons. In the company of a range of performers,this work reflects the difficulties encountered and the audiences' often reluctant attitude towards them.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a readable and fresh approach to 20th-C. music., 2 April 2001

By A Customer

Music lovers with curiosity about the trends and causes for these trends in the music of the twentieth century should find this approach enlightening. The seven main chapters of the book are complemented by a set of videotapes (52 minutes each at a cost of nearly a thousand dollars for the set). The book itself is a bargain ... and if one can encourage a library to purchase the videotapes, you've got something great.
