5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent work of unbiased reference, 28 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Music of E.J. Moeran (Hardcover)
Geoffrey Self's book is the ideal work of reference for anyone interested in the music of E J Moeran. It takes us through Moeran's life from start to finish, work by work, and manages to achieve both a credible biography and an expert analysis of almost all of Moeran's output. Musical examples abound, and Self is scrupulous to avoid the over-exuberance of the Moeran fanatic.

If there are small question marks they have to be around Self's habit of relying too heavily on references and models for many of the works - this bit here is clearly influenced by Elgar, that bit by Ireland etc. - which carries through to his conclusion where he asks, and answers the question of whether Moeran had a voice of his own. Perhaps these were questions which needed addressing, but at times one feels he doth protest too much. Whilst helpful to those who know all the referred works as well, it can sometimes get a little distracting when you're trying to get to know Moeran's music for the first time!

This is however a minor niggle which shoudn't stop you from getting a great book...
