Recenzje

'… Liszt and the Symphonic Poem [is not merely a welcome addition to a sparse secondary literature, but instead] offers cohesive, intriguing views of Liszt as a man of the theatre, of his symphonic poems as works of astonishing ambition and breadth and of his pivotal position as an innovator in the tradition of nineteenth-century orchestral music.' Paul Bertagnolli, Nineteenth-Century Music Review
