Rezensionen

By turns discursive, celebratory and reflective . . . a beautifully written paean to music, examining the role that it plays in our lives and what it has meant to Faber himself. He is no snob, but no indulgent populist, either. Instead, he has written the best book of its type since Alex Ross's The Rest Is Noise Observer
