Recenzje

'Readers are likely to want to dip into this book, and anyone doing so will come across some fascinating material … Brahms in Context is dedicated to the memory of Robert Pascall, whose own work (as writer, analyst and editor) was such an inspiring contribution to Brahms scholarship. Several of his enthusiasts are reflected here and he would, I think, have loved this book.' Nigel Simeone, Gramophone
