Recenzje

Katharine Ellis's latest book, French Musical Life: Local Dynamics in the Century to World War II, is a significant achievement. It is the first in-depth study of French music in relation to decentralization and cultural regionalism. The scale of the study, covering the complex musical dialogues between Paris and the regions and within the provinces themselves from the 1830s to the 1930s, will set a new standard for future scholarship within French cultural history. Beautifully written and argued with consummate subtlety and sophistication, Ellis brings to life musical institutions and music making from across France in ways that challenge and entice the reader.
