Recenzje

Can you talk about the New World Symphony without talking about race, cultural appropriation, and the challenges of defining 'American' classical music? Douglas Shadle's book, equally valuable for newcomers and for those who think they already know all about Dvorak's most popular work, views the genesis and reception of the piece through a new, clear lens that brings into focus some of the challenging questions that it continues to raise and that remain, in this field, too little discussed.
