Recenzje

'DelDonna's expertise in Neapolitan history and culture and his command of recent scholarship, both in English and Italian, place him in the most authoritative position to offer a new and compelling view on instrumental music in late eighteenth-century Naples … [the] work … resents a major addition to the current studies on musical, artistic, and pedagogical features of one of the most dynamic European capitals of the eighteenth century.' Guido Olivieri, Music and Letters
